Is the VR streaming in the Local net (PC to Headset)? Just run the WiFi router without plugging it into the wall. Connect only the pc and the headset.

Also, appart from that, to use more wired devices, maybe use an unmanaged switch. Don’t think that does anything forbidden here.

Full disk encryption always seemed the most sensible to me, but I’m not sure whether that needs to be decrypted after hibernation.

That’s pretty much my ThinkPad’s Specs. Fine for almost all stuff I have to do on the go (expect CAD, don’t try to run BricsCAD on the thing, it’ll make you go crazy.)

I use full disk encryption on it, as on all my other devices, and it’s fine, speed-wise. The SSD is NVME, not SATA, but I doubt the performance impact would be noticeable on a SATA SSD if that’s what you’ve got.

I get called like once or twice a week, and it’s usually something time sensitive or important. Always found people just flat out refusing to answer the phone crazy.

If I remember correctly, the app was originally built by an Australian public broadcaster and then sold to WordPress Matt, so yeah.

Oh, yeah, wait, I am using AntennaPod too. The subscription stuff was actually the reason I switched from Pocket Casts. Mixed up the names. I’d claim old age, but I’m not that old yet, really.

Many modern podcast solutions seem to be injecting ads into the audio file they serve, to varying degrees of success.

I listen to several ad supported English language podcasts, and most of them seem to have difficulties with Pocket Casts AntennaPod, or some other part of my setup. The only ones that do get ads placed are the ones that use Spotify Megaphone for their backend.

There is a paid version of pocket casts?

It’s a MX Master 2S, funnily enough. I still have a over 10 year old working M705 Marathon, on second thought, that I had once bought for my laptop. Had to open it up and bend the mechanism for the left click back into shape once, but no Problems besides.

Uh, what would I be paying for, exactly? I don’t really see what Software support a mouse really needs, as long as it doesn’t ship buggy. Also, I’ve been using my (Logitech, funnily) mouse for 6 years now, and if you ignore the few scratches it has gathered, it still works pretty much perfectly.

Also, if their solution for a longer lasting mouse really is repairability, isn’t that just their way of saying “we designed our other products to be thrown away”?

Yeah, I thought the article was fine, though. Writer is more tech focused, editor seems more business focused, and the editor is usually responsible for the headline.

I mean, they’re pretty old planes. I don’t expect them to rip out all the equipment and replace it if it still does the job.

It sounds like you don’t necessarily like the idea of using a container (I tend to use podman, but most guides are for docker, so that’d probably be easier for you). From my experience, containerising things actually makes things a lot easier, especially in the long run, and getting started is a lot easier than it seems. You can probably find a ready-made guide to set up a plex or jellyfin container on Debian.

No, that was IBM, not valve.

one of my favorite games unfortunately cannot be run on linux at all, and it’s a gacha. I don’t want to gamble with my account being banned

Yeah, let’s keep it to one kind of gambling. I like and use opensuse tumbleweed. Rolling release, never had stability problems.

I’ve been happier worth with Bricscad, but I mostly just need it for designing stuff to 3d print, so your mileage may vary.

It’s also not FOSS, of course, but I haven’t yet found FOSS cad software that works for me.

If you wanna court the laptop oem market, windows is the safer bet.

Depending on how in-depth they co-operated with the windows for arm team, keeping some details confidential till launch might have also been easier that way.

Haven’t read into this too much, but I think the affected person that made this get attention was a solo dev that was prototyping a solution for one of his customers.

And the reason he raised a stink was because he had a huge bill, as the name he chose for his bucket was by chance the same an open source project used as a sample bucket name, so whenever someone deployed it without first customising the config, it was pinging his bucket and getting a 403.

Lucky for me, I can’t afford a backyard.
