    It's still available on at least some subs, they emailed me recently notifying me that I still have access.

    Compact, convenient, console-like experience that pulls games from your existing steam library. Same niche as a normal console, just not locked down in the same sense. If it weren'…

    Insurance absolutely covers off label use. And depending on the area of medicine, off label use can be incredibly common (see cardiac pediatrics).

    Yes, it work well. It works less well on ios, some pain points due to how Apple handles background apps.

    Hardware prices, especially RAM, have skyrocketed. Priced out new baremetal servers recently and prices were 3-6x what we paid 4 years ago for the newer equivalents.

    Because you should never fully trust any IoT product that you don't truly have control over. There's nothing stopping a faulty or malicious update from being pushed out, or their u…

    Using it daily without plugins is, by definition, a "usable system".

    I'm not sure what you mean, it works outside of Steam. For example, SDL has full steam controller support.

    That only applies to the automatic refund. I've refunded a handful of games well past that window, so long as you justify it, I've never had an issue.

    - For homes with close family (parents and siblings), I setup a subnet router and local DNS server on a Dell Wyse, making it one of their DNS servers so it can point them to servic…

    From 8 to 105...97 years. I'd say that qualifies as "almost a century".

    No. It was originally 50%, unclear what the current numbers are (it was supposed to decrease over time as they train local replacements).

    Windows automatically reinitializes the TPM if it's reset boots normally, most end users will not notice any issues unless they have Bitlocker or biometrics configured.

    Not only did it happen at the worst possible moment, it took out a second engine on it's way out and over the plane. Two engines should've been enough to get off the ground and pot…

    bypassnro no longer works for Windows 11 Home, unfortunately. If you're using an ISO built prior to the change (a few weeks ago?), you'll be fine.

    Pro does not. We only use Pro and Enterprise, and Pro certainly does not actually require a Microsoft account (as of last week, anyways). The options given do make it appear to be …

    You don't need IoT, just the normal LTSC (2027, and then security updates until 2032, iirc). And there are easy ways to swap to it, present on GitHub... Main downside is other appl…

    I largely agree with your points, but in this context - * A microsoft account is only needed for Windows 11 Home. A "semi-power user" is hopefully not using that edition of Windows…

    The same way you prevent employees snapping photos of secrets on their screen. By making and enforcing rules on their usage.

    You have it flipped. The "good" versions are in all caps, the newer models are lowercase. I have some old, borosilicate pyrex and the name is capitalized. If you look up a new pyre…

    Thanks, that article was fascinating. I wasn't aware of how complex swapping it out could be, its continued use makes a lot more sense now. I'm very curious on what's going to happ…
