A lot of home routers will give you a traffic graph - if yours doesn't you can either find one that does or flash/build one. I currently run opnsense which has an ok graph out of the box, I haven't fiddled with it to see if t

I have a g-cloud and it's about 30% lighter than a steam deck and pretty ergonomic to hold. Yes it can't play Cyberpunk but it'll handle native Android games, classic emulation, and any cloud streaming very well. You can als

IMO there's a gap between "charge every day" and "charge once a week" that needs to be crossed. In other words, if they made the battery last twice as long it'd still be equally as annoying (since your daily ro

I use live captions for this a lot and find that it's pretty accurate. It's helpful if someone says something that I don't catch and I can just scroll up the captions to make sure I understand. Also helps if someone tries to

IIRC that video is about how young content creators get exploited, which is indeed a bad thing but not exactly what GP is asking about (young players getting predated upon)

Agree, I've seen enough wrong answers that I think it's actively harmful to put AI answers at the top of Google search results.

> The hotel internet did not like multiple devices off the router. It didn’t reject it outright but it throttled or nerfed it. Curious - what tools would they use to detect this, and what could someone do to work around this?

I have the non-cover version of this (or at least, it's another Logitech keyboard with a very similar design but lacks a cover - the K380s), and I also have a Keychron B1 Pro and a TKL mechanical keyboard, but my cheapo K380s still fee

IIRC one of the reasons WhatsApp has done so well is that they basically supported every platform under the sun, which was a technical challenge back in the day. These days the field is much narrower but 10+ years ago finding an app that su

FWIW I think a linter or other similar code quality checker would have caught this as well. From a practical perspective (e.g., how do you prevent this from happening again in your game studio's multi-million line code base) that woul

So Sunshine and Apollo are continuations of Nvidia's EOL'd GameStream tech, which is designed to mirror the local display to a device. It doesn't really have the concept of a "user session", it allows you to mirror
