It can offer a ton of user value. There is a whole industry built upon this idea, Internet of Things.","comments":[{"id":48463159,"user":"ceejayoz","time":1781022068,"time_ago":"5 days ago","type":"comment","content":"

You can run OpenCV on a GPU-less Raspberry Pi or other IoT device just fine.

And most IoT devices aren't doing video transcoding at all. You're making some very odd assertions in this thread.","comments":[{"id":48470987,"user":"charcircuit","time":1781061488,"time_ago":"5 days ago","type":"comment","content":"

The data gets streamed to the cloud where servers with GPUs transcode it. I'm pointing out that IoT devices historically have reached out to servers with GPUs even before GenAI.","comments":[{"id":48474136,"user":"ceejayoz","time":1781086865,"time_ago":"5 days ago","type":"comment","content":"

Most IoT devices have no camera and communicate with servers that have no need for a GPU at all.","comments":[],"comments_count":0,"level":5,"url":"item?id=48474136"}],"comments_count":1,"level":4,"url":"item?id=48470987"}],"comments_count":2,"level":3,"url":"item?id=48469717"}],"comments_count":3,"level":2,"url":"item?id=48468425"}],"comments_count":4,"level":1,"url":"item?id=48463159"}],"comments_count":5,"level":0,"url":"item?id=48461773"}],"comments_count":6,"url":"item?id=48460617"}
