I had similar issues with Linux on AMD.

Two weeks ago my step mother asked me "Can you help my friend connect her PC to the wifi, it runs Windows XP" users are fucking weird.

The actual answer, there is no reason to switch. The vast majority of users do not care about Linux or why they would want to. For us there are lots of benefits and things we enjoy about getting away from Windows but for them "why?"

This is really up to you, if you have the budget/space for dedicated hardware then you will benefit from it. However, if you are on a budget/space constraints then you could setup some containers in docker either running on the system or in a VM then transfer them over in the future.

Has it been confirmed that it is free? I haven't found anything saying anything about it at all.

100% but its a lot easier for a business to go "we need to purchase X number this intel product" vs "We need to spend X on product from some company your non-technical ass has never heard of"

In the consumer/small business space I think we will be fine for options but the intel NUC was great for a lot of business applications and I will miss it!

I am not OP but since they didn't provide any I went and found some

Personally, I think this is a case of people trying to make the policing issue in the USA a global one. While I acknowledge that many countries, including mine, have problems with policing, I don't believe it is highly controversial to consider hiring someone with a background in law enforcement.

 

The PCBs and switches for my all-button fight pads didn't arrive before Friday, but I did manage to get the RP2040s in beforehand. Since it's a long weekend and I wanted to play some Mario Maker, I quickly put this together. It takes the keyboard and maps the keys to a controller, and it works really well.

Its the only reason I am still using Plex, I don't know if we will ever get Jellyfin on even half the devices that Plex is on. : (

No worries, If I don't end up liking this I have many options which is nice.

I am going to give wefwef a try. I was using Mlem at first but I wasn't a fan. Still a bit worried about wefwef as I wasn't a fan of Apollo at all but willing to try!

Thanks for putting together this list!

I usually avoid FPS games on console and Steam Deck for this reason. Not only do games control better on PC but I also get motion sick when using a controller.

Games like Elden Ring, BOTW, TOTK, Smash Bros etc are fine for controller.

Yes there was and I agreed with the court of public opinion at first and still disagree with some of the initial terminology it does seem as if Twitch is just attempting to align with YouTube on how it handles ads and sponsors.

YouTube and Twitch both want to make sure the viewer can tell the difference between and AD run by the site and a sponsored segment controlled by the creator. To help with this all YouTube sponsored segments must be the creators own words and not a standard commercial. Its why when its a "word from our sponsor" its an ad read by the creator instead of a commercial for a VPN product.
