Steam Link is tailored for gaming, but it works great for remote access. Performance is excellent and it has clients for all major platforms.

> create a new bank account somewhere and allow Plaid to have access to it. This is the way. There's plenty of free online banks, and it's pretty easy to open accounts nowadays.

It's meant to run GNU Linux instead of Android, so maybe the 4GB RAM might be ok? Definitely not enough if this was running Android. RAM usage on my Android right now: - 2.1 GB And…

I was trying to figure out why the update wasn't working on my Archlinux box. After a few attempts I barely caught a glimpse of an error message that flashed by: something along th…

Video games are more enjoyable with the increased processing power! Where the 2018 model struggles at high frame rates, the M1 version enables more fluid gameplay at 95-120fps. The…

> focus on the basics instead of marketing gimmicks This reminds me of what Steve Jobs said about Xerox[0]. After achieving market leadership in their industry, engineering at iRob…

Still considered experimental in 2.35.0: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-init

I use a few secondhand Netgear R7800 with OpenWrt installed to blanket the house in fast WiFi and 1Gb Ethernet. This setup has been in place for almost 4 years now and has been ver…

New Intel hardware supports SR-IOV, the successor to GVT-g, but unfortunately driver support is apparently missing for Linux: https://www.reddit.com/r/VFIO/comments/o7l2zr/sriov_on…

Be careful as this syntax can potentially introduce SQL injections. PHP's parameterization features in PDO can be abstracted so you can turn this into: $vars = array(":userid" => $…

It'd be worth less, but not entirely worthless. I think ETC is a good example of what happens on a deprecated branch.

A 5950x uses ~4 times as much power.

I really like the form factor, but my Surface Pro 7 has really let me down lately. It’s about a year old now and fully patched, but the battery barely lasts 4 hours, camera is bugg…

Wireless charging isn't immune to failures either. A recent example of this is Google's Pixel 4 device, introduced in Oct. 2019. Apparently if the phone chassis expands over time, …

17 more years and leave like nothing happened :P

I had a similar plan when I started my career, where the idea was to save and self-support independent endeavors. 13 years later: I can execute the "full plan" at any time, but I f…

PIN is probably not the best term they could've chosen since the term implies it should be a number. However in this case, the Windows 10 "PIN" can actually be a longer password.

I wouldn't say they don't care about gamers, considering that gaming makes up about half of their revenue: https://www.anandtech.com/show/15513/nvidia-releases-q4-fy20...

Not everyone is so fortunate to have 1GB/s internet. Waiting for a page to load is a terrible user experience.

Yes if it provides a better product for users.

I'd also add "general project health". DD-WRT doesn't seem to get much help. There's only one(?) person making changes to mainline: https://svn.dd-wrt.com//timeline?from=Aug+2%2C+2…

The trustworthiness of the domain name would effectively be stolen.

In this context they mean you won't need anything more than a browser or basic HTTP server.

Moving parts are typically a very vulnerable point of failure. Traffic lights must have high uptime and require low maintenance.
