It’s it now?

Can you honestly even claim you answered the question? You didn’t even do a complete sentence on the topic before shifting into a diatribe against capitalism.

My computer is amd and it computes real nice

I think he also called his supporters dumb

Wow you really were gonna get that out regardless of the post topic, weren’t you?

I wanted my computer to be secure but headless. Suse, fedora both had supposed instructions but in classic Linux style they had a bunch of out of date commands and software and it didn’t work. Fedora always required a human to enter a password on boot, suse just bricked.

Endeavarch had instructions (a maze of unclear gibberish, to be honest) that actually worked and did what I wanted with minimal fuss and it’s been operating well for 2 years.

Don’t be such a ridiculous fucking hater you blind yourself to reality

Barring literally everything else, this steam box shares its lineage with the Xbox, not Sony or Nintendo’s products. Speaking as one who ran xbmc on their classic first-gen it’s nice to see things coming full circle to “everything is just a media center pc, bitches”.

Keeping it in your bedroom has advantages, especially if you’re prone to forgetting because you see it right in front of you before you go to bed. It also dries faster (less bacteria growth) and you never have to clear it out to clean your bathroom sink (obviously a non-issue if you have a cabinet).

But uh, I got you

If you’re talking about a commercial building or something, sure. I get the concept I suppose it just seems like it’s probably optimizing 2025 hardware against 2005 constraints when we’re talking about a single household. I’m unlikely to automate any part of my home in the near future but if I ever did I’d definitely want to look for some data (like, “gaming latency increases 20% with 10 smart devices”).

We’re talking about things that take ms to decide and act upon. I mean if you prefer it or you’re used to it that’s fine but for many people I’d argue the cost of change in either direction is higher than the aggregate savings in time.

Fair enough, just seems like sticking with the more standard tech has its own advantages but if you’ve got a lot of devices in the net I could see the value

Why? It’s plugged into mains, you don’t need to save 5 watts.

There is 5+ more years to it than that

Their auth is better than the tool itself (last time I evaluated options which was maybe a year ago)

Except the person who wrote that, regardless of the actual issues with FUTO, cannot be trusted and is an unreliable source.

I really would encourage people to not treat that guy as a real source, but use it as a starting point for evaluating his sources, such as they are, on their own merits.

Oh it’s lemmy I ignore that most of the time

Nah just doin a little light jesting

Samsung breaks so many things about android and makes them unequivocally worse that it’s hard to call it android
