The CPU/GPU part of the device does not need to go on your head. Manufacturers make it that way for convenience (and lower part count) but that doesn't necessitate that stand-alone headsets be made like that. Apple, for exampl

You're talking about streaming/remote control of a PC which can involve significant latency and lag spikes (unless you're tethered with a good USB cable). That is by definition not a stand-alone headset . You're just

Not an expert but I'm pretty sure it has to do with how much VRAM you need in your GPU in order to process them efficiently. Last time I was reading about the sizes someone mentioned that 8B was just barely too big for their GPU.

Windows without backwards compatibility is a dead end because the only reason why Windows exists is backwards compatibility and the existing user base. As an OS it is decades behind all its competitors, with a 30yo filesystem, file locking

Even "power" USB C cables can do data transfer. They just do so at USB 2.0 speeds (like a lightning connector would). Finding a truly power-only USB C cable is difficult but not impossible. It's a special order.

I've never seen one that did but I've only looked at IPv6 on Netgear and TP-LINK routers. Let's try the other route: Find a consumer router that both hands out IPv6 addresses and blocks inbound IPv6 traffic by default.

Most consumer routers these days are automatically assigning global IPv6 addresses to every device on their network. The only security feature protecting them is the difficulty of (random) discoverability (no firewall rules by default).

It shouldn't be time-based it should be support-based. As in, the moment you stop supporting your product is the moment you're legally required to publish the source code and any signing keys, tools, etc necessary to use it.
