Play around in a virtual machine so you don’t have to worry about messing anything up. Start with the basics such as navigating through directories and creating, editing, and moving files. If you break something, just restore a snapshot.
It should be able to run games that support ARM. That means you are pretty much limited to open source games. The CPU clock speed is fairly low, so don’t expect great performance. These systems are intended for heavily multithreaded workloads.
It’s probably best to try that with a live CD.
A Thinkpad T480 would meet those requirements. Stick with the i5 version with integrated graphics to avoid overheating issues.
They shouldn’t have made it so bloated then. The 2003 version opened fairly quickly, even on a late 90’s computer.
Minecraft runs natively on Linux, so it won’t take them long to figure that out.
Wow, I didn’t realize the windows tax was that high. I thought the bulk OEM licensing was significantly cheaper than the retail price.
You can’t find anything on discord with a web search. You can’t even open it without logging in. Once you’re logged in, good luck finding an answer to a problem that was posted a year or two ago. That’s much worse than reddit.
It could be worse. At least they didn’t move to discord or facebook.
Just remember that you will be required to remove any illegal content that people post. I certainly wouldn’t want to be responsible for that.
It’s not really 10x unless you’re comparing to something like an N100 mini PC. It’s not unusual for a gaming PC to idle around 100 watts though. That does get expensive if it’s on 24/7.
That’s what DNS is for.
You would have to specifically open a port in your firewall before anyone could access a device over IPv6 on your network from the internet. Just like you would have to forward a port on IPv4.
Enable file versioning in Syncthing. Then you will have a backup copy of every change for however long you set it to keep them.
I had a Sapphire RX580 fail on me in 2023. It was a cheap card I got from ebay, so who knows what the previous owner did to it though.
HTTP works fine in Firefox unless you set it to HTTPS only. Even then, you only have to click off a warning to open an HTTP site.
Put a multi port NIC in your router PC and use a separate unmanaged switch for each network then.
I would just get a basic layer 2 managed switch and use VLANs. The 5 port and 8 port switches are super cheap these days.
It gets rid of most of the login attempts for me. I don’t use a popular port though. Pick a 5 digit port so they have to put in some effort to find it.
It’s broken because of anti cheat. I believe it’s possible to use the android version though.
