This is a complete rewrite of my previous tutorial on how to get vGPU’s working with a consumer grade Nvidia GPU in Proxmox 7. A lot has changed since dual coder initial release of his vgpu_unlock code and things got a lot simpler if you have a compatible Nvidia GPU supported by driver 460.73.01. If your GPU is not supported by this driver you’d have to patch and build the driver yourself.

This clock uses side glow fiber optics to tell the time in a colorful way.

In this project, I focused on developing an AI-driven budget-friendly device to collect water quality data from various water resources in the field and forecast water pollution levels based on oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), and turbidity measurements.

Commissioned by DesignSpark, which turned 10 in July 2020, I proposed the concept of Radioglobe to celebrate their landmark birthday. Devised in a 2x2m shed, during 2020 Covid Lockdown, on a shoestring budget, with only Zoom calls to communicate, RadioGlobe allows the user to explore thousands of the world’s radio stations by spinning a globe.
