I’m basically running this setup with Unraid as my hypervisor. It’s definitely doable, but takes a lot of tinkering to get everything up and running and games with super strict anti cheat won’t run at all. I would only recommend going this route if you really enjoy tinkering, I’d say finding a cheap second hand PC for your NAS is probably much less work.

You spent more time typing that out than it would have taken to actually check Google’s wording. They claim “7 years of OS updates”, you’re just spreading misinformation.

Every Google search should include an AI answer! Who cares about energy usage, we’ll just buy a nuclear power plant!

Seems like you can’t find a robo vacuum without a camera these days, anyone not running https://valetudo.cloud/ is asking for trouble.

Anyone looking for a free drop in replacement, I’ve been using Rancher Desktop without any issues https://rancherdesktop.io/

The Mk4 made up a lot of ground, but I agree they are a pricey option. Personally I was able to justify the price by the benefits of open source, if the company disappears tomorrow I’m confident the open source community could continue issuing firmware/slicer updates.

If open source is a big deal for you I would look into Prusa, they have a great track record and a lot of other companies are using forked versions of their slicer. I have a Prusa MK3s and absolutely love it. I had a self sourced RepRap before this and compared to that it absolutely “just works”. I bought the multi color add on and was expecting it to be very finicky, but other than some initial filament loading issues (have to make sure the end of the filament goes to a point) I absolutely love it.

Elon Musk ’s backing of Donald Trump is hurting Tesla ’s struggling EV business in Europe

Valve makes infinitely more money off of store fees selling other people’s games. Why would they want to make a fraction developing a single game when they can go after Android’s 30% cut?

Your concern is power consumption, but then want to use the same board as a server running it 24/7?

Is this your brain on AI?

If a game developer can’t trust the platform you’re developing for, you probably should look to find better business partners.

Their biggest problem is they have to brainwash their users into thinking their product couldn’t have just been an app.

Right, and blockchain/NFT have nothing to do with that problem. Xbox could have implemented the exact same program without a blockchain, they just wanted the buzzword in the headline.

Because then they wouldn’t be able to evangelize NFTs. You see this constantly with crypto/NFT tech, a solution in search of a problem

Russia is killing people every day and will continue to do so. When you are afraid to help your neighbor from an aggressor, who will help you when it’s your turn?

What are you smoking and where can I get some?

What do you mean? The US is switching to NACS which is a standardized plug, Tesla superchargers will not be the only charging network to use it.

They wouldn’t even need to license it, part of getting the other car manufacturers to switch to NACS was establishing it as an open standard. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Charging_Standard

To extend your analogy, you first said “Even my non-artist relatives know the sky is green” then I said “most people know the sky is yellow”. Why would I need to “prove” my statement any more than you should? You think it’s my job to educate you or something? If you want to know go do some research, otherwise we can just agree that we have different views, but I’m not about to go do your homework for you.
