This wouldn’t be a tool for wireshark. It could be a tool for the browser dev tools though. With it you can see every time a website tries to make a connection out, what data is submitted, and what the response is. Unfortunately, if you don’t understand how http works, it might be all Greek.

Disney climbed the ladder of public domain and then pulled the ladder up behind themselves.

As a LightBurn user and license holder, this is annoying, but I could see this being a good thing in the long run. Right now, there is very little opensource alternative to LightBurn. As of today, there is a much stronger incentive to make it happen. I’m hopeful this spurs on a modern tool in the open source community that works as an alternative. What LightBurn might have done is save them selves some support overhead and created competition. We’ll see how that works out for them.

On Steamdeck, I haven’t tried multiple controllers, but with one, it has been rather seamless for both the PS5 and the Stadia controller. They are both Bluetooth, and when I turn them on they just work. That said, the original SteamDeck(which is what I have) doesn’t support CEC or Bluetooth waking, so the Switch wins out on automatically turning on and switching my TV’s input. The OLED SteamDeck is supposed to fix that, but I’m not paying for a replacement until this one dies or a SteamDeck 2 comes along.

Since I was personally called out here, Windows 10 was my last home version of Windows, but it was earlier days of 10. For work, however, I manage about 1700 Windows workstations and servers, so I know all those problems still. To be fair, I’ve been running Linux in some form since before Ubuntu existed. I think it was Debian in 2001 or 2002 that was my first Linux desktop.

In this case, "web’ means web browsers, not servers. Godot projects can be exported as static web pages. Sure, the storage is someone else’s linux box, but execution happens on your local device.

I might give this a try. I use Google Wallet for my various loyalty cards and whatnot, but it is actually a poor UI for it, mixing credit cards and loyalty cards in a single sideway sliding interface that takes forever to find what you want.

For sure, that’s what it is designed for. A proper remote desktop system would need to be able to support low bandwidth links and gracefully drop frames if latency is high or bandwidth is low.

VNC might have seen improvements over the years, but last time tried it, it didn’t handle high resolution/detail well at all. RDP can stream practically any media in close to real time, as to where VNC really broke down if you tried to change too much of the screen at once. Ideally, there’d probably be a new open screen sharing standard that used modern encoding and decoding to allow for high bandwidth connections smoothly. Moonlight gets close, but isn’t really designed as an RDP/VNC replacement.

I don’t want to let nations off the hook for being bastards, but the technical incomlktence of both our core infrastructure and the tools that support them is also astounding.

It is possible, although unlikely, that it is the display server for WebOS, the OS Palm built and LG bought. I seem to recall them having their own display server.

If you have never heard of it before, I recommend checking out the wikipedia page for it, and some of the information available about its creator.

I agree. The hardware was out of date before it was released. The controls were poorly placed to make the joycon gimmick work. It was designed for little kids hands and didn’t offer a solution for adults. The steamdeck really highlighted all these problems by doing it better day one. But for the target demo of the switch, very little of that mattered, and it was a great success. I just hope the Switch 2 learns from these mistakes and doesn’t repeat them.

You are probably right that it isn’t literal. In IT I often hear “Goat farming” as meaning getting out of IT.

Both cursed and nice. If you plan is to have a box for emulating old games, it is really a great theme for it.

Draw.io has that option for PNGs as well. Pretty fantastic if you want to pass around a file anyone can view, but still be editable.

If you like OpenArena, check out Xonotic. Its a similarly fast paced open source shooter.

There’s nothing wrong with using technology in voting, it just has to be done in an open, verifiable way.

Indie game devs: Godot will be happy to have you. Not nearly as large of an ecosystem of tutorials and for pay assets, but time will fix that if people start moving over in mass. I know for my gamejam games I’ll take Godot any day of the week.

You assume they have an endpoint team. There are a lot of companies under 100 employees out there. They are often lucky if they have an IT guy at all.
