Its usable for much now... Just not as a daily driver laptop. It is good for embedded applications now, but not quire there for phone or laptop use. Maybe one day.

That was my point.

I could train as hard as possible, for years, and I promise you I couldn't beat a single woman in the WNBA on a 1 on 1 game. I think it is important to remember, that yes, statically, men have an advantage, but each individual is unique. I think it would make more sense 1. Remove the profit motive from sports. 2. Have leagues based on skill, not gender. Of course, that will never happen. Match making in video games is a clear example of how it can work. If I was really into any competitive game, every time I played I'd be playing against people that were roughly equal to me. I suppose that is harder to do in team sports though, especially when there is money involved for the players.

I might give this a try. I use Google Wallet for my various loyalty cards and whatnot, but it is actually a poor UI for it, mixing credit cards and loyalty cards in a single sideway sliding interface that takes forever to find what you want.

I'm guessing you were making a joke, but the real answer is it is a Godot tile map.

Thanks. It was a silly toy, but it scratched an itch, and was good for at least one chuckle.

Here's a little game I made because I missed it too. https://dbeta.com/games/webdefragger/

For sure, that's what it is designed for. A proper remote desktop system would need to be able to support low bandwidth links and gracefully drop frames if latency is high or bandwidth is low.

VNC might have seen improvements over the years, but last time tried it, it didn't handle high resolution/detail well at all. RDP can stream practically any media in close to real time, as to where VNC really broke down if you tried to change too much of the screen at once. Ideally, there'd probably be a new open screen sharing standard that used modern encoding and decoding to allow for high bandwidth connections smoothly. Moonlight gets close, but isn't really designed as an RDP/VNC replacement.

I can always tell it is a toupee... except when I can't.

I stopped all voice assistants when they started getting snippy with me for being rude to them. I don't need a poorly design if statement snapping back at me for showing my frustration at its inability to do a basic task.

I have recently, but it was Call of Duty with their kernel level anti-cheat. Not really a problem, I just had an excuse to say no to the friends who wanted to play. If I really wanted to, I could have switched over to the PS5 to play.

Even on userland stuff Apple controls tightly. If they want to require a user to manually click, they will get that. If they want it to be a physical mouse and keyboard doing it, they will get that too. They own the device, and have complete control, not the user or "owner".

Unfortunately, in mobile phones, there is little choice. It is almost 100% Android or iOS. Even a lot of "flip" phones are now Android. I'd love to have a KDE based phone, but the options are slim, and the functionality is missing.

Theoretically, Microsoft could protect against most attacks. Apple has done it by making it increasingly impossible to touch kernel level stuff without an MDM. Every release they lock up more of the system. It means they are drifting toward iOS on their Macs, where the user doesn't own their device, but it is an effective blocker to stuff like this, baring zero day kernel issues.

I think that is where Microsoft is headed, but they also aren't able to let go of backward compatibility, so they really aren't getting any closer to a system that is secured enough to handle such sensitive data.

Others have given you a good idea, but since you appear to be using Unifi for switch and firewall, o can give you a clear answer: Don't set vlan on the Synology. Set it as the "Native" VLAN on the switch port going to the Synology.

Synology can be vlan aware, but you don't need it. Let the switch do the talking.

On the Synology I recommend putting it on DHCP while you test. Once it starts getting an IP in the right subnet, you can then switch it to static. Just make sure your gateway is right, putting it wrong will cause the device to not be able to reach outside its own subnet.

I don't want to let nations off the hook for being bastards, but the technical incomlktence of both our core infrastructure and the tools that support them is also astounding.

It is possible, although unlikely, that it is the display server for WebOS, the OS Palm built and LG bought. I seem to recall them having their own display server.

If you have never heard of it before, I recommend checking out the wikipedia page for it, and some of the information available about its creator.

That is interesting. That Windstream came to town about 15 years ago, buying the local phone company and almost instantly made the service worse. I did not know they went bankrupt, but it doesn't surprise me.
