Technology@lemmy.world•New UEFI vulnerabilities send firmware devs industry wide scrambling
13·2 years agoPXE, or network boot. It is basically never used (and rarely enabled, if ever, by default) by the individual, but can be helpful in, for example, a large scale OS deployment. Say IT has to get their corporate image version of Windows 10/11 installed on 30 new laptops. They could write a ton of flash drives, but it’d be easier to just host a PXE boot server and every laptop just listen to them.
V6 specifically in that instance would just be for the reason of “we need to move away from v4 anyways”

Games@lemmy.world•8 Years later my Steam Link is still getting regular updates
1·2 years agoDid you not ever have to have a controller plugged in the host and Link per player? That’s a quirk I’ve faced using my laptop as the Steam Link device, streaming from my desktop.
As a link to a different website, at least. This one links to imgflip

News@lemmy.world•Bill Gates thinks of himself as 'very nice' compared to Elon Musk and Steve Jobs

Technology@lemmy.world•YouTube Says New 5-Second Video Load Delay Is Supposed to Punish Ad Blockers, Not Firefox Users
914·2 years agoAlphabet’s monopoly is bad, make no mistake.
But they aren’t controlling all electronic means of communication for 90% of the continental United States, as AT&T did in the ma’ bell and pa’ bell days.

Technology@lemmy.world•YouTube Says New 5-Second Video Load Delay Is Supposed to Punish Ad Blockers, Not Firefox Users
91·2 years agoWhen you browse to a website, your browser passes info about itself to the server hosting that site. This info is intended to help the server provide the best rendering code for your browser. This is called your User Agent.
However, Google is using it here to identify Firefox users, and is apparently choosing to lump them all in a box called “adblock users” instead of trying to identify an ad blocker more accurately.

6·2 years agoAs others have said, don’t buy TVs for their smart features. Just use a streaming stick. They are easier to replace as software changes, and there’s practically no real benefit to ever putting a TV online in the first place.
Also, LG panels are the best visual quality. You’re doing good going the LG route. Just keep it offline.
