What if your local LM Studio model could open websites, read headlines, pull RSS feeds, and query Google Maps — all from your own machine, without the cloud?

In this video, I’ll show you how to turn LM Studio into a web-connected AI command center using MCP (Model Context Protocol). You’ll see exactly how to enable tool calling so your local model can take action online while keeping everything private, local, and free.

You’ll learn:

-- How to install LM Studio and pick a tool-enabled model (Qwen 3 VL 30B)
-- How to wire up the Playwright MCP to browse the web, read headlines, and take screenshots
-- How to use an RSS Reader MCP to fetch top Hacker News posts and pull full article content
-- How to connect a Google Maps MCP to get real place data (ratings, hours, details, etc.)
-- How LM Studio can combine multiple tools automatically for agent-style workflows
-- How to safely edit mcp.json and avoid formatting errors
-- Where to find hundreds of MCP tools you can drop directly into LM Studio

Everything in this video runs locally. Your data stays on your machine.

🎬 In This Video: Running AI locally shouldn’t feel like a maze—Decide fast: CLI power or GUI ease?
We’re breaking down Ollama and LM Studio, two free local AI runners with totally different vibes. I'll show you:

Ollama: a command‑line toolkit that works like Docker for LLMs—download models, run them fast, automate with scripts. Unreal speed and flexibility once you've mastered the terminal.

LM Studio: a polished desktop app with drag‑and‑drop model installs, GPU/RAM dashboards, slider controls—all without code.
Setup experience: one‑command terminal vs intuitive GUI

Performance: faster inference and model‑quantization in Ollama

Model access: curated quality in Ollama vs HuggingFace freedom in LM Studio

Platform support: Ollama works everywhere; LM Studio is still Windows/macOS only

Use cases: Ollama for devs & automation, LM Studio for content creators & beginners

By the end, you’ll know which one to install first—whether you're building apps or just chatting locally.

M4 Mac Minis are suddenly selling out — and not because of video editing or creative workflows.

Please keep in mind the date this video was originally released, as availability of the M4 Mac mini has changed due to supply shortages and the impending release of the M5 Mac mini.

People are buying $599 Mac Minis just to run AI.
Over the past few weeks, a viral open-source AI agent has sparked massive interest in running personal AI assistants locally at home. Instead of relying on cloud-based chatbots, creators and tech enthusiasts are setting up always-on AI agents that can manage tasks, automate workflows, and act as persistent personal assistants.

In this video, I break down:
• Why Mac Minis became the go-to AI computer
• What AI agents like Moltbot (formerly Clawdbot) actually do
• Why the $599 Mac Mini price point changed everything
• Whether Mac Minis are really selling out
• The risks of running local AI
• And whether you even need a Mac Mini at all

This isn’t just about Apple hardware — it’s about a shift toward owning your own AI.

If you’re curious about running AI locally, automation workflows, or where personal computing is headed next, this one’s for you.

👇 Let me know in the comments if you’d like a follow-up showing how these AI agents actually work.

Electronics boost converters output a higher voltage than is used to power them. They convert current to voltage by using a switching inductor to force current into a capacitor in order to raise it's voltage.

If you really need a higher voltage, then use a boost converter module. This circuit I am showing is a simpler version of the circuit, and is terribly inefficient.
