You think someone stupid enough to make all the above mistakes would be savvy enough to build PKI and a RADIUS server? You're giving her too much credit.

You may be 100% right in your assessment of the scam. I can't argue otherwise because you deleted the URL, so you win by default.

I have to say I am really disappointed with this hand holding form of moderation, treating me as a child that can't make up my own mind on a product. I was able to find that cat food sold through a reputable pet store and now I can't remember the name because you've deleted it. You've decided your opinion trumps my research and that's not how an open forum for discussion should be.

I know you think that animals are going to be harmed and you're trying to do the right thing, but it's simply overplaying your role and blocking discussion. Imagine going into a BDSM community and telling the people there that what they're doing is harmful and they need to see a psychiatrist. Maybe you could be right? But it's not your call.

You should be stopping hateful speach, bullying, and trying to keep illegal content off the server. Sluthing links and deleting posts because they don't match your opinion is simply not the role of a mod. I don't mean to be rude or insult you personally, but these kinds of actions matter and really make me reconsider if this is a community I want to be a part of if it is run this way.

Reading the article it sounds like it's both.

Protesters scuffle with police, try to break through a barricade. They’re chanting “shame,” “Ben Gvir is a terrorist” and “where were you at Sde Teiman,” the infamous prison where Palestinian prisoners were abused, at the cops

Samsung has been doing this for a long time with DeX an it's awesome. However it won't really be a thing for most people until Apple does it.

This is actually a very good comparison because restaurants use this argument all the time, except for wages:

"I can't make money running my restaurant if I have to pay a living wage to my servers, so you should pay them with tips. How else can we stay open?"

These business that can't operate profitably like any other business should fail.

Bravo. That really solidified your argument.

I've been vegan for a little over five years now and I take the same multivitamin I used to take, plus a B12 supplement.

Now I happen to have JUST bought a new bottle from Costco the other day and looking at my receipt it was... $14 for 360 tablets (a year's supply). So over the last five years Big Kirkland has sucked a hefty $70 out of me for being so gullible.

If only I didn't have this wool over my eyes! Your conspiracy theory has to be the worst I've ever heard.

Absolutely. It sounds ideal for something like that.

The issue is they sit in this odd place from a price perspective. I can get an N4000 based stick PC with 4GB RAM and eMMC storage for $140 CAD, or a vastly better performing N95 based mini PC with 8GB RAM, real SSD, and additional outputs for $50 more.

The stick PC really only makes sense if you need that form factor, or if you're on a really tight budget. The improvements for $50 are just too much to ignore.

Your wishlist sounds almost identical to mine. As frustrating as the limitations of streamers are, they are easy to use. HDMI CEC makes single remote setups possible, easy volume changes, input switching, etc. Apps are vetted so they "just work".

As for casting, most platforms support running Miracast or AirPlay receivers. Google is the stickler here that won't let you run a Google Cast receiver (or at least I haven't found one) and also doesn't implement Miracast on Pixel devices. It's such a shame because I vastly prefer casting the URL to the TV and letting it source the content than mirroring my phone all the time.

Yeah, those were on my radar as well. I haven't yet had a chance to look into what the Linux compatibility is like, but that sounds promising that you were able to do it.

The big downside I see is that while the power consumption is low, they're running a really old SoC, usually based on Intel N4000 (launched late 2017). Looking around it seems to have h.265 decode which is the most important one to look out for. It doesn't support AV1, but that's mostly streaming services and not that common (I think?). There may be other disadvantages I'm not thinking of at the moment.

What was the performance like for you?
