Yeah, that’s the entire point. There’s a DeX program on PC that just lets you use DeX on your computer (using your phone). It basically just pipes the inputs and audio/video over USB, the the program. The latter is a much more niche use case.

What?

Remember when everyone was like, “What??? They would never do that!”

So when Israel does it as part of their normal everyday strategy, it’s okay. But when someone returns the favor, even when it’s an airport used for military operations, it’s suddenly just terrorism. Got it.

The feature is called DDNS (Dynamic DNS).

For reference, Brooklyn alone has over 2 million residents. NYC as a whole is 8 and change million. So yeah, we’ve got huge population density, and it shows in busy areas.

www.protondb.com to check your Steam library against Proton (Linux) compatibility. You can log in with your Steam account and it’ll give all your games a compatibility rating.

It’s not exactly difficult if you use Tailscale or really any VPN. So I really don’t see the value for the cost; if you’re even considering self hosting a Plex server/instance, there’s a list of basic knowledge you should have or learn (like what you mentioned).

Pakistan was created by Indian separatists (I’m oversimplifying, but that’s the crux). They’re divided by religious groups (e.g. Pakistan is majority Muslim, while India is mostly Hindu (~80%).

If you can run tailscale or similar, your IP becomes a non-issue (CGNAT vs static IP)

I’ve been here my whole life and, honestly, we don’t know either. But The Office made fun of it when Michael went to NYC!

You picked an excellent time (in terms of consumer choice on NAS’s). I’ve been using a DS920+ for the past few years, and the software is solid (e.g. the core apps like Drive, Photos, etc). Synology is (was?) also always number one in terms of security. But honestly, there’s little to no reason to expose your NAS to the internet these days since tools like Tailscale make life a lot easier (and safer).

That being said, I also was a beta tester for Ugreen’s NAS(es) last year. Their software sucked at the time, but it’s gotten way better. The hardware itself is gorgeous, and they don’t skimp on parts. The one I have is one they never intended to sell in the US: DX4700 (they sell the DXP4800). This one has an Intel N5105 (predecessor to the N100), 8GB RAM, and dual NVME slots (for cache or for storage). Plus they listened to us testers when we told them to allow third party OS installs without voiding the warranty (e.g. OpenMediaVault, etc).

Point is, no matter who you go with or if you build your own, it’s a good time (minus tarrifs).

Depends where you live. I pay $70/month for gigabit Fiber from Verizon (it works extremely well and rarely goes down or has issues). It’s also symmetrical.

No ISP in NYC has data caps. We have 8.3 million residents. I’ve lived here my whole life, and I’ve never had a data cap in my life for any ISP.

So I never understood the bs justifications given by Comcast and other ISPs who operate in less populated areas (most of the country, honestly). Like yes, I understand that no matter what they say, it’s about the money. But people in NYC would literally riot if we got data caps on home Internet.

Why doesn’t the rest of the country push back?
