Synology includes some php runtime or package they require… I think… But I dont expose my services outside.

I typically back up everything important on my phone the week before. Then uninstall all Apps I don’t want scanned if needed (password managers, banking, etc.) This allows me to worry slightly less…🤏

Idk, $100 or so for 8th gen Intel isn’t too bad, but this is in the us

A used laptop with a messed up screen will work as well.

Of your options, I not go with BMW as they are pushing subscriptions based features. In my new car journey I may settle on a low millage model 3 if I can get it with the lithium pack.

On my pixel 7, i see it listed as beta, but not sure how to disable. Can only remove updates.

It is but ddr5 is not cheap

I agree. On a new machine I’ve been using I tried Ubuntu and then Zorin, but Bazzite just works better. Could be the Fedora base that’s helping a lot, idk. But switching that machine over when I’m not lazy.

I just got a mouse for my SNES and it’s great watching people play Mario Paint for the first time.

I see a ton of i5-8th gen 2-in-1s with dead batteries, but under 100 on ebay

Just look at the processors in the Synology offerings, you didn’t need much to run a bunch of services.

It always comes right after I migrate my family members. Same thing with lastpass and I’m still trying to get people off that.

I didn’t game, but use Bazzite. It has worked on every system I’ve installed it on, even an old AMD A6. I just feel safe in there, but it’s not perfect. And the distro is large.

You can run Windows in vms on Linux if you don’t need screaming performance. I think you can directly install from iso with Incus as well. I haven’t find this yet, i used Qemu instead.

You could spin up a vm with mx and see how it works.

Will do. I think Asus stopped sending fw updates so I’m hoping to get a few more years out of this unit.

I’m running an older Asus router they is listed on the OpenWrt site. Would it be the most affordable option to just install open wrt on this device and manually bring over my current configs?

I do the 5 lb bags it last like 3 months for me

On the pc and c64 it was pretty easy. Are we also talking about how everyone ran the WinZip eval?
