I have this at home and enjoy it. What will your work use it for?

Resource usage and storage would be the main things to look out for. Octi really does need ssds as hdds will slow it to a crawl, a good amount of ram is nice but not fully a requirement for home use

Parsec is pretty slick imo.

You don’t?

I dunno if it’s already been mentioned, but there’s VSCodium, it’s vscode without Microsoft

Without thinking into it I would have expected some more custom hardware, some on device AI acceleration happening. For one to go and purchase the device it should have been more than just an android app

Yes but that’s not ideal for a nervous flyer, or being in a window seat. It’s easier to just stand at the airport.

For me it’s the last chance to stand for a while. If I’m going to be sitting in a cramped seat for 2+ hours then you bet I’m going to be standing before hand. So the if I’m standing then I might as well be in line.

In the eyes of apple the screen on an iPhone would act as a security device as it contains the fingerprint sensor.

You’d be surprised, check out Hardware Heaven on YouTube, they may have something for you

I use a TP Link ER605 and it works well. I had to ciall my ISP to get it enabled but that says easy.

I know you said you haven’t got any PCI slots available, do you have any M.2 slots available? You might be able to get a M.2 to ethernet if so.

This is sad to see. I have a hOn device which I recently connected to WiFi to see what features it would have. Sadly it had to connect to the internet to work so I didn’t play with it too much. I checked this plug-in out then and was hoping I could use it.

The whole 1gb is fine sounds like the old “nobody will need more than 64k of ram” is all

I’ve ran cat 6a in my home as when I’m sure to upgrade the devices I don’t want to have to redo all the cabling. I am looking at moving up from 1 Gb/s already as I can easily max out the connection when transferring data over the network, like a backup to a different system.

Hell, I’m pretty sure we have ISPs here in EU thag offer 2Gb WAN.

In terms of significant developments, more and more PCs are currently making the move to 2.5gb networking too

Well you can run 10 Gb/s over RJ45 these days too

GPU passthrough using Nvidia cards might be a bit tricky. With older cards they would error out when being passed, although this may be different these days.
