It was more of the point that WiFi devices allow that to happen because basically every consumer/smallbiz WiFi network can be assumed to support internet access and most buyers won't care. The easiest way to avoid that…
Matter only sort of solves it because a lot of Matter devices (most in my personal experience) use WiFi and often intentionally neuter their Matter support to "encourage" you to use their app and/or cloud integration…
One of many reasons I prefer home automation hardware that uses ZigBee, Z-Wave, or Thread over using WiFi. If it uses WiFi it almost always wants to connect to or worse requires a cloud, where the dedicated home…
Mouse "works" but it will require that the VM "capture" the mouse pointer and often doesn't move the same way it would on the host because the VM is having to translate the messages it's receiving from the host OS in to…
As Wayne points out later in the thread, it's because those who are paying attention already know the answers but the questions are specifically designed to both confirm that eMudhra actually understands what they've…

The actual thread the post being referenced is in is about Dolby Vision and HDR10 playback on Apple devices, so I can see where a rant might come out I guess... edit: Yup just saw GP's reply and they clearly have…

The element of limited choice between multiple tracks makes me think of the Viewmaster Interactive Vision which implemented a much more limited version of the concept.
There was a whole era of mid '90s Microsoft games where they were still competing with "Exit to DOS to get the best game experience" so they went out of their way to make sure you were aware you were running in Windows…
Did you miss the point about working on random devices? That's the key to why I use Plex at all. If I have to install and set up a VPN client on it I'd just use Jellyfin because at that point I've limited myself to only…
"No Problems" isn't exactly a comparison. Apple's network has the majority of iOS and iPadOS devices on the planet tracking for it. Google's network has whatever subset of Android devices are running a new enough…

I bought my partner a few of those years ago before Google had even announced an intent to get in to the tracker market, and they work great for an individual looking to find their keys in the house, but as far as…

That's pretty common, a lot of older phone systems will literally have a line input where you can hook up a looping music player, Muzak receiver, a radio (illegal but common anyways), or whatever else to provide the…
When I was in school my backpack had to carry not only hardcover books for all my classes but also the associated notebooks and/or binders that the class all too often required us to keep as part of our grade. It often…
Though there definitely is a lot of slop out there (even before that term gained a new meaning) I think it's hard to argue that there are so many more high quality games now than there ever were before just because it's…
Also there are a lot more high-quality games available now, for a lot less money. In the '80s and '90s you might spend $50-100 on a bad game and you'd play it anyways because you couldn't return it. Even if you could,…
I just fired up my Deck and it's Settings > Security which seems like a pretty obvious place. I have mine set to trigger a lock screen on wake/power and if desktop mode is requested, which are the only two options on…

It's definitely deck-specific (or maybe Big Picture specific), neither my desktops nor laptops have ever asked for a PIN nor would I want them to.
