rust is still a non starter in some niche embedded applications (way too big). i still write c and assembly constantly.

the billing options, the server selections and technology, come to mind.

also should not mention but some regional vpns (dig around the area you like) quite often do not get get hellflagged as vpn ip. cloudflare usually gets it but it has never been obnoxious like i’ve seen on others.

oh and most importantly, i have 5gbit symmetrical fiber and most close servers nearly saturate both ways and i dont think ive ever seen go below 500mbit. excellent speeds most the time, ive never seen any other provider come close but only tried a few others. steal for the price.

i also like you can set custom dns while active, i use along nextdns

actually understanding how computers work is important. LLMs still do a terrible job in many of my domains.

writing the code was never the hard part.

if a games competitive scene consists of a small old boys club tier rules do yourself a favor and don’t bother. bar was very much this when i tried it last year. i also got kicked at the start of several games for no apparent obvious reason as a new player lol. very unwelcoming community

people have already become accustomed to low quality software, luckily just in time for ai llms to finally start generating somewhat usable code (in small context) for h1b prompt pilots. silicon valley rejoicing

after looking at it, i would use anything else over the roku stuff if i felt the need for tasking. bare metal esp32 is easy with the espressif sdk anyway .

esp32 is way too power budget heavy for anything using batteries though. even using all deep sleep available a msp430 will leave it in the dust by a large factor. i’m surprised they use such large devices in remotes but go figure
