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't for the price I'd consider one, but I'd rather limp along my existing systems for as long as possible (and it sounds like SteamOS support for broader systems is improving).
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 update servers being compromised (see notepad++ recently). So why increase your risk, if you don't truly need it online?
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 services
- Yes, they should have their own account. However you can only add a few before you need to move to a paid version
- You can disable the expiry for nodes, which should keep it connected and prevent you needing to sign in again for them, for the most part
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 potentially land the plane, but one engine on a trijet isn't enough.
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 required, but it is not.
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 applications dropping support for 10, if relevant. I only swapped my main system due to Fusion 360 notifying me they were dropping 10 in January 2026.
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...
* I'm also greatly annoyed by the right click - but holding shift when right-clicking opens the expected menu, removing the extra click requirement.
Some of my own annoyances though:
* The taskbar/windows button seems to just...crash...sometimes. It'll eventually restart, but extremely annoying. Left clicking taskbar icons still works, but right clicks or the start button don't work as expected.
* Additional clicks to change audio devices...drives me crazy on my main system.
* I like the autosaving aspect of notepad, but they've killed the main reason I used it - an instantaneous, lightweight text app. It's still quick, but is noticeably slower.
* Settings and Control Panel is still a mess, and even less usable than Windows 10 was.
I've never understood why everybody gets upset over New Zealand farmers.
I used to have a Bloomberg heat pump dryer when I lived in a historical apartment. I was fairly happy with it, only real downsides was that it did take longer to dry compared to my prior electric and gas dryers, it tended to pickup a musty smell, and it was relatively complex and difficult to repair compared to a simpler dryer (had some minor failures over the years). Upside was the efficiency and not needing an exterior exhaust.
Been a number of years since then, so I'm sure they've improved even more and are hopefully somewhat cheaper.
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 pyrex measuring cup, you'll note that the name is lowercase.
Problem solved - AT&T just announced that they're no longer supplying home internet in NY.
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 happen with cocktail cherries - I believe they use Red #3 (it's one of the only permitted uses in the UK).
Mature - maybe? It's certainly not a replacement for the application, as the online Word still falls flat on its face when trying to open, or even worse, modify, some of our larger documents.
Well then I learned something new today. Time to take a look at their offerings I guess :)
I was hoping for more of a discussion on the data integrity side of things. One of the biggest reasons I run ZFS is to help ward off bitrot. My understanding with most if not all COTS NAS devices is they lack any scrubbing or data integrity tracking, much less ECC.
They quoted the relevant portion. The creditors do not own infowars already. A court appointed trustee is liquidating it, the owner has not changed (and will not until it officially sells).
It's really no different from immigrant families where the parents don't speak English, but the children speak both languages.
I've known plenty of people and families like that, it was never an issue.
I had a similar situation at the apartment I used to rent. Unfortunately they didn't care to correct it, so I removed the battery from my lock and only used the physical key.
My fob copy still works there last I checked...
Of course not. However there should certainly be a risk assessment with regards to citizens of foreign countries known to steal IP or otherwise perform hostile actions.
