Quite the interesting take that they “stopped innovating”. Sure their hardware specs have always been lack luster, but Satoru Iwata always focused on fun over bleeding edge. After the Wii, PlayStation and Microsoft followed suite with the PS4 “wand” and Xbox Kinect. After the Switch released, Sony created the PS Portal, not to mention the Steam Deck and other copy cats. They have literally been the top innovators of the last few generations.

Respectfully as a network engineer, I do not.

Black screens, game flickers, quality issues. I’ve tried the feature on and off over the course of 11 years and for something I feel should just work out of the box with minimal to no extra configuration required (like moonlight\sunshine do), it’s just not good enough.

I’m convinced Remote Play is broken indefinitely and will never be fixed. It’s never remained stable enough for me to play extended sessions on my Deck or long ago with my Stream Link (hardwired even) which was specifically designed for remote play.

Moonlight and Sunshine have worked flawlessly, so it really boggles me that Valve can’t figure out what two different open source projects have excelled at.

The configuration has absolutely no bearing on performance. It is purely for standardization. Straight through cables work with either because it’s literally just connecting the copper on either end. The difference between A and B is just flipping 2 pairs around although I forget which. Only 4 or 5 cables of 8 are even used to this day which is crazy.

Compounded that 2.5gb is the norm now with wifi7. Consumer routers with 2.5 were inflated to being with last I checked and I have no idea what they cost now.

I go early every year and I’ve had to wait in line once, and even then the wait was only about 10 minutes for my area which is not considered rural.

Do not underestimate the power of capitalism

The Odyssey + Metroid Prime 4. Something like Turok except with mythological beasts, magic, and space stuff?

Home assistant integrates with Google Home devices as well, so you can start small with your HASS OS device and make a slow transition of your GH devices as you change them out (or retain them). My best friend loves his HASS and GH, and uses them both heavily with HASS as the main driver.

They are the Shadow of Mordor games, based in the LotR world. You play a protagonist who’s story takes place “behind the scenes” of the series. They go on sale or marked as free at least once or twice a year. I personally haven’t found time to play through them but always want to!

Kill a mini boss of an orc horde. Orc horde gains a new boss that evolves around how you killed thier predecessor. Rinse and repeat and the game gets harder and harder while you also git gud.

Exactly my sentiment too. I already paid for it, may as well use it until they make some move that makes the jump to Jellyfin worth it. Not to mention Jellyfin is still fresh on the scene and I personally think it still needs a few more years to make a more seamless changeover from Plex for me and everyone else I’ve granted access to.

Not particularly useful at all, but meets the obscur box for sure, and I didn’t read the “useful” part of the title until after already typing this post.

I used to frequent this page in the early 2000s:

The Best Page In The Universe. https://maddox.xmission.com/

Specifically, he had an amazing blog post about Ben Stiller at the height of his career: https://maddox.xmission.com/c.cgi?u=ben_stiller_should_star_in_every_movie^___^

If it happens soon, he can only run for one more term. Knowing how slimy the GOP is though, they will string this along to give him 1y 364d of this term, so he can run twice more. 10 years is the maximum our current system allows a president to serve.

My self hosted wireguard has no issues, so no idea what this is on about… I leave my VPN connected for many hours at a time and never had a crash as this post is indicating. Sounds device specific, but have not seen the issue on my S22U or S26U.

Right there with you bud. I stopped after they killed the first drug lord in a wheelchair. I think it was the second season. Man what a boring show.

I kind of feel the same about Plur1bus, but at least that show is interesting to see very prominent locations completely void of population.

Holy shit this is brilliant. I find much better results searching our archive solution for a term than whatever Outlook returns for me.

I have an HP multi function that can print on multiple types of paper, including cardstock, photo and glossy magazine. I’ve made reprinted NES instruction booklets on it even. I know everyone says “HP Bad”, but they are all making the toner move. I accidentally updated my dad’s Epson color inkjet printer and it started complaining about his black ink cartridge. Lesson learned, just don’t update firmware on ANY brand and block their update servers at your router if possible.

Thanks! I do have several cassette players, including the one my grandmother recently used to listen to these same tapes. I assumed the process is similar to what you laid out but have yet to get my system set up for said conversion.

And for the photos, I’m already planning that too. I have a stand alone scanner but know it’s a very tedious process from past personal scanning projects, and I have a tote full of I scanned photos. Maybe I’ll task my oldest with it later this year I’m her “down time” lol.
