  • The funny thing is that we started buying MORE games after getting it and filtering steam for the ones that work best.

    It completely replaced the Nintendo Switch as our party platform, we have been adding piles of local multi player games to it and using multiple Xbox controllers with it docked around the main TV most of the time.

    I think when it comes to how many titles work it is going to depend on your gaming preferences. If you play a lot of EA games or Ubisoft games it is clunky to get their store loaders going sometimes or at a min you get prompted to sign in via onscreen keyboard which is a PITA sometimes and there is lower support.

    Steam native games however are great.



  • Apple implemented a kernel API for security software and made it good enough that they forced their own tools to use the API.

    I haven’t looked at the Security API in depth but I have looked at the iOS APIs… Apple gets away with their own apps having MUCH MUCH deeper access than what they give 3rd parties… I would be SHOCKED if their kernel API is all they use in their own tools.

    Microsoft needs to shut up and do the work to make their kernel secure.

    The EU ruling is very broad however, if it has just been security tools YES MS could have just built out the APIs and used them for defender, but the EU ruling makes it so open we have wonderful video game anti cheat and DRM drivers from all sorts of providers playing around in driver / kernel space.










  • To save you going 5 min into the video… He was using an adapter with zigbee2mqtt that was listed as experimental.

    It is less about the network adaptor and more that he switches from zha to zigbee2mqtt with the skyconnect / homeassistant adaptor that is still not fully supported in zigbee2mqtt.

    Using a coordinator more central to your network can help but as long as a large number of your powered relay devices have a strong connection there isn’t anything wrong with using the USB ones.

    The ONLY issue with the USB ones is that it is recommended you put them on an extension cable as the USB port it self can cause interference, and putting a little distance from the antenna helps.

    So his solution DOES all that, and is a good solution, but I wouldn’t just go toss your USB stick in the bin…



  • How exactly did you start remote play together with Shredders revenge? In some games it is part of the in game invite option, for others I have tried just triggering it from the steam menu while the game is running as I didn’t see a native option. For shedders revenge when I triggered it from the menu none of the controllers appeared for mapping.
