It’s an extremely bizarre suggestion given your request. I do want to defend the game (though not the suggestion) a little though.

It initially presents as you say, but offers you opportunities to fight back in your capacity as border control. Letting in the right people can help the resistance and incite a coup, or enable you and your families escape from the country. It isn’t just Be A Good Tankie Simulator 2013, though you can play it that way too.

You linked then to the already linked video they were complaining about.

They had a reveal trailer as part of the PlayStation State of Play back in May, and basically the entire internet collectively lost all interest the moment it revealed that it was a 5v5 hero shooter.

I can’t speak for anyone else but I definitely didn’t have gravity explained in school as the rotation of an objects 4-vector due to a temporal gradient.

Bell and Rogers actually don’t share their towers in Canada.

I hate drive-thrus even as a driver. The intercom is always garbage, the menu is always presented in some insane arrangement that’s makes it basically impossible to peruse, paying at the window is awkward, receiving your food through the window is awkward, checking to make sure your order is correct is awkward, and to top it all off it usually takes longer than just parking and walking inside.

It is baffling to me that anyone ever willingly uses a drive-thru.

Exactly this. I have a couple of small projects that are MIT licensed specifically because I don’t care how people use them or what they use them for. If someone finds it useful then they’re welcome to do whatever they want with it.

This idea that I’m being somehow hoodwinked or taken advantage of because the thing that I explicitly said could be used freely is being used in a way that doesn’t align with the values of some other completely uninvolved third party is beyond absurd.

Exactly my thoughts as well. At 1000 nits peak the OLED screens I have are already painfully bright under “ideal” viewing conditions (i.e., dim lighting), and easily visible in poor conditions (sunny day, curtains/blinds open). What on earth are they building them brighter for? Outdoor daytime viewing?

A feminine body, I am happy with, but not female.

…they literally said “feminine” and “masculine”, not “male” or “female”. Specifically using language you say you’re okay with, but still prompting this response. What exactly is your problem with what they said?

There are a few options there.

As someone else mentioned if you’re using IPv6 then it doesn’t matter, you’re already routing internally even if you’re using the public DNS name, no extra work required.

All the rest are for IPv4.

If you’re not behind CGNAT some routers/gateways are also smart enough with their routing to recognise when they need to route back to their own external IP and will loop back locally instead of making any hops out to the internet. Again, if this is the case for you then no additional work is required other than perhaps running a traceroute to confirm.

Another option is to add a local DNS entry for the name you’re using to resolve to a local IP address instead of your public address. The complexity (or even possibility) of this is going to vary considerably with your setup. If you’re running your own local DNS e.g. pihole or similar then it’s trivial. This is how mine is set up.

If all your clients are going to be on PCs (or devices you have more than the typical manufacturer allowed modicum of control over) then you can do something kind of like the previous, just with all your local hosts files.

If none of the above are options, then you’ll unfortunately have to fall back on using a local name/address, which means a slightly different client setup for devices you use exclusively in your home versus ones you might use elsewhere.

Traffic for a local Jellyfin server should definitely not be going over the internet. Also any reasonably modern client should be able to direct play most media without transcoding.

As for my own Jellyfin setup, one TV has an Nvidia shield plugged in and is using the standard Android TV client. The other is a Samsung smart TV onto which I have side-loaded the Jellyfin Tizen app.

Speedtest.net, Steam, well populated torrents, and the Star Citizen patcher are the only things I’ve experienced my full downstream of 1.5Gbps with.

There is analogous functionality for most of it, though it’s generally not quite as good across the board.

FSR is AMD’s answer to DLSS, but the quality isn’t quite as good. However the implementation is hardware agnostic so everyone can use it, which is pretty nice. Even Nvidia’s users with older GPUs like a 1080 who are locked out of using DLSS can still use FSR in supported games. If you have an AMD card then you also get the option on the driver settings of renaming it globally for every game, whether it has support built in or not.

Ray tracing is present and works just fine, though their performance is about a generation behind. It’s perfectly usable if you keep your expectations in line with that though. Especially in well optimized games like DOOM Eternal or light ray tracing like in Guardians of the Galaxy. Fully path traced lighting like in Cyberpunk 2077 is completely off the table though.

Obviously AMD has hardware video encoders. People like to point out that the visual quality of then is lower than Nvidia’s but I always found them perfectly serviceable. AMD’s background recording stuff is also built directly into their driver suite, no need to install anything extra.

While they do have their own GPU-powered microphone noise removal, a la RTX Voice, AMD does lack the full set of tools found in Nvidia Broadcast, e.g. video background removal and whatnot. There is also no equivalent to RTX HDR.

Finally, if you’ve an interest in locally running any LLM or diffusion models they’re more of a pain to get working well on AMD as the majority of implementations are CUDA based.

To be fair his prior rant was about how bad he was at using and understanding Linux.

I’m all for more people switching to linux, but a lot of your windows issues sound less like windows issues and more like your specific installation is messed up somehow issues.

One thing I will mention though is that Windows does have native per-application volume control, you don’t need to install EarTrumpet. You can right-click the system tray volume icon and open the mixer, or just search for “volume mixer” in the start menu.

A temporary one that you’re expected to remove as soon as you’ve created the admin user(s) you need, but yes. It should only be there during initial setup and ideally removed before the server is ever exposed to the internet.

Always 5% higher than it currently is.

No. The opposite, in a way. Curse of Knowledge.

I literally cannot watch minutephysics videos on YouTube because of the amount of mouth noise when he speaks. Even if I force myself to watch them I just absorb nothing because I just fixate on the mouth noise. It’s baffling to me that so many people not only don’t seem to mind, but don’t even notice it in the first place.

What do steam’s libraries or its API have to do with ASUS software?
