There’s weirdness sometimes if devices don’t respect your network’s dns settings and just use their own. You can override that by forcing a dns redirect if your router supports that but not all consumer ones do unless you put openwrt or something on them.

Technology@lemmy.world•Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for LinuxEnglish
20·16 days agoModern specs are complicated. I vaguely remember something about a cryptographic key the driver needs to be signed with to successfully complete the handshake to enable all display options between the computer and display.
Not entirely unwarranted either, an unexpected amount of voltage on an unexpected pin because the driver / hardware is misconfigured damaging your TV would suck. (Still sounds like the Forum is being a dick about it though.)

The underlying research is necessary and valuable but the marketing arm of universities blow everything out of proportion.

Technology@lemmy.world•Samsung reveals first tri-fold phoneEnglish
3·23 days agoI’d settle for something like the Red Magic 11 with better cameras from them. Saving a couple millimeters instead of having a bigger battery and flat back is silly.

News@lemmy.world•Power surge: law changes could soon bring balcony solar to millions across US
34·26 days agoBack-feeding the grid during an outage is the main concern. One panel isn’t going to hurt a line worker. A neighborhood of them might.
“Normal” installations have a transfer switch of some kind between the house and the grid to prevent this. Which means a permit and electrician.
Don’t know what’s different about these panels / installations that makes them safe without that.

politics @lemmy.world•‘Unforgivable’: Trump’s ‘piggy’ insult is stoking more outrage than usual
8·1 month agoThat’s true, but I also think there is a stark difference between a low quality ‘off the record’ recording and standing at the official podium taking questions from vetted journalists to a live feed on every news network.
Anyone paying the slightest bit of attention has known he is, at best, an odious man-child for years. But a lot of people actively try to avoid paying attention because they’ve been trained that it’s “just politics” instead of the infrastructure that impacts every aspect of their lives.

Games@lemmy.world•Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026]English
15·1 month agoI believe you’re talking about the Steam Link. Which if you had ethernet running everywhere worked pretty good.
The old Steam Machine branding was more a set of guidelines / branded manufacturer specs for mini-PCs. Not many actually came out and yeah it got shut down pretty quickly. Though it was the origin of Steam OS / Big Picture Mode and what became Proton.

It’s an interesting advancement and it will be neat if something comes of it down the line. The chances of it having a meaningful product in the next decade is close to zero.

5·2 months agoEven if quantum computing turns out to actually be infeasible and classical cryptography is secure for the next millennia, it’s still a good feature to have a third independent encryption layer in the protocol. It makes it that much less likely reliant on the other two being bulletproof.
I believe that supposed to be whether you can get to their website to download clients / register / etc through TOR. Not that the VPN can access the TOR network.

I just hope at some point they’ll be able to reformat/release it as an ebook or something. I know a lot of people get turned off by it being on wordpress. ( I know there’s at least one unofficial one but still. )

I think it gets some flak but I’ve been super happy with Unraid.
Migrated hardware by moving the usb drive over to the new system and it didn’t blink that everything but the HDDs was different. Just booted up and started the array and dockers. The JBOD functionality is great. Drive loss is just an excuse to add a bigger drive.
