Glad you got it sorted. Weird about teams though. Have a good one!

Windows detects media being played and shows you that inlay with controls. It must be detecting that stream somewhere being played, even if it isn't obviously playing in a browser tab. You should be able to control whether it shows media controls on the lock screen.

I mean, yes and no. For an individual or individual systems? No, it's not hard. But I used to oversee a WAN with multiple large sites each with their own complex border, core, and campus plant infrastructure. When you have an environment like that with complex peerings, and onsite and cloud networks it's a bit trickier to introduce dual stack addressing down to the edge. You need a bunch of additional tooling to extend your BGP monitoring, ability to track asynchronous route issues, add route advertisements etc. when you have a large production network to avoid breaking, it's more of a nail biter, because it's not like we have a dev network that is a 1-1 of our physical environment. We have lab equipment, and a virtual implementation of our prod network, but you can only simulate so much.

That being said, we did implement it before most of the rest of the world, in part because I wanted to sell most of our very large IPv4 networks while prices are rising. But it was a real engineering challenge and I was lucky to have the team and resources and time to get it done when it wasn't driving an urgent, short timeline need.

Yeah, pretty much this. I live two miles from a light rail system that gets me straight to work in 20 minutes, and my job pays for public transit. I can drive two miles and park at the rail station and be there in five minutes, or take a bus that adds 50 minutes. Biking the direct route would put me on a narrow road with trees right up to the lane with cars speeding way over. Biking a safer route would detour me a fair bit.

It depends on the projector and how picky you are. Also, if you have a nice white wall vs something darker.

For me I have a cheap one around $80, and on a white matte wall you don't need the windows closed to see and enjoy the screen, but if the wall wasn't white it would be a different story, and if the overhead lights are on it would wash out a fair bit.

With a higher end unit that puts out more lumens, you could overcome most of those issues and still save space.

So really just depends on your expectations. For me, I'm not watching things that need perfect fidelity, and I don't need my overhead lights on while watching, so I can get away with an inexpensive unit.

I don't have tv, bit I do have one of those small portable projectors. I don't need to dedicate space permanently to a TV when I also have a computer desk, but sometimes it's nice to have a large display for a movie with friends, etc.

She drove the 3 hours to see the house, and the seller came home as she was leaving. So chance encounter.

Definitely a sink, I saw one exactly like that in a restaurant bathroom. 10/10, absolutely terrible choice for a kitchen.

Lightning bugs have a multi-year lifecycle that includes living in fallen leaf matter, hunting for other bugs, before emerging in like 2-3 years. So they need places that don't haul away all of the fallen leaves/plant matter or use broad spectrum pesticides.

I've always kept all the leaves in rows along our fences for the lightning bugs to live in, which is also popular with the song birds hunting for bugs. That and don't do the broad pesticide treatments.

Nonchalantly execute the ducks in front of the kids. You'll also be supporting your local youth therapists job security.

Maybe it included documents or correspondence from each of the 30 attempts? That would still be absurdly long at over 150 pages of documentation per attempt. But I could see them trying to make a point through the sheer volume of pages.

I think many folks are too young to remember before the Internet when everything was published through retail stores. Publishers took big risks paying for advance copies of games to be produced and shipped, and developers typically got less than 70% all told.

When steam came out 30% and you didn't need to print advance copies, or deal with retail channels, it was a huge win.

Now, the world has changed, but so has steam. Steam has continued to introduce features, sales based % tiers, grown the community, push Linux development, push VR, etc. they also go out of their way to support their devices and make them user repairable.

In any other sector people would be bitching about not having a pro customer option, and yet in this market we get a bunch of non-developers bitching about the revenue split from the best game store other than GoG.

It boggles the mind.

Topology: no, a set being open doesn't imply that it is closed. What if it's both? We call it clopen. Moving on.

I have two for my kids, and will be getting a third. With the dock, it acts as a regular desktop computer with monitor on an arm, mouse, keyboard, etc, giving my kids an inexpensive desktop computer that can play games. It's emulation is so robust that I downloaded battle net from Blizzard, added the installer as a non steam game, ran it with proton compatibility, and they can now play diablo 2 resurrected.

In desktop mode it is just a regular Linux desktop, so they can browse the web, and I have a nuc running Windows that they can remote into to learn Windows OS stuff as well. It is a way better experience for them than any other micro PC you might find for $400. And it can be mobile. Pretty crazy device.

That said, I wouldn't need one for myself unless I traveled a whole lot more and wanted my steam fix on the road. But for a kids first desktop they are amazing.
