As a straight dude, my first internal knee-jerk reaction was “this is such a stupid solution to a stupid problem”, but then my mental “Don’t be an asshat because not everybody is like you” guard rail kicked in.
Clearly this is a product for a market of people that it works for and I’m happy for them. Enjoy your neat keyboard thing, long nailed peeps.
Repairable technology with encouragement to repair things that break by designing them to be fixable.
Open source technologies becoming the rule, rather than the exception (this is already the case in some ways, but I truly mean EVERYTHING).
Open Standards that make interoperability easier by removing walled gardens (iMessage, G-Sync, etc).
I work for a company in Texas, USA. We actively discourage Windows being used in our organization and push people to use macOS or Linux.
If you want “Apple-like” look and feel, KDE Neon, Ubuntu, or Pop_OS! are good first Linux distros to start with.
When Microsoft started enforcing online accounts to use my computer. It was then that I fully jumped ship. I was using Linux way before that for my media server, HTPC, etc., but it was that and the Steam Deck that made me finally fully jump.
Meshtastic is neat and I always contemplate building a node for fun. However, I’ve yet to see many practical uses for it beyond maybe texting while hiking.
Entire article feels AI generated, right down to the typos.
pfSense = Firewall and router system based on FreeBSD. Has both open source and commercial versions. Built for SMB to Enterprise uses. Extremely powerful with all of the bells and whistles you’d expect from a professional firewall product.
OPNSense = Basically pfSense with a different UI. It’s a fork of pfSense. Much of the same capability, but is built by a smaller company.
OpenWRT = Replacement firmware for embedded devices (as well as x86). It’s open source WiFi router firmware that runs on tens of thousands of devices. Many vendors will even base their custom firmware on OpenWRT and put a different skin on it (GL.iNet, for example).

Make sure you switch your view to TV in the settings so that arrow key navigation works.
There is a default config it comes with. I just modified it. Their documentation is really good. If you’d like a copy of my config, LMK.
Icons I found online and then trimmed to the correct size and transparency.
It’s from Google intentionally breaking things
Bear in mind that in-video ads that Google is experimenting with will still cause 403 errors. There is another bug report for that. However, this fixes most playback issues.
I think the Windows Store app for Netflix supports 4k, but that would require running Windows…and that’s just icky.
The GitHub repo of the maintainer shows that the project is archived and dead.
Does that offer any advantages over the kiosk mode functionality? Looks like that repo was abandoned in 2023 and marked as archived.
Really? I thought Chrome added support on Linux for 4k.
I rarely stream Netflix and it’s only on there for my wife. If I want a show, I add it to my Plex library. Even if Netflix has it.
It’s a brand called Gimbi. It has a keyboard on the back and programmable IR buttons.
As long as your browser supports the DRM, it should stream 1080p and 4k fine. Chrome is best, unfortunately, specifically for Netflix.
Ok bud. Sure thing.
