Keep in mind their claims about Android have been clearly refuted and their claims in general are dubious.

Given this, they're either dangerously ignorant or intentionally malicious.

It's pretty relevant to hosting providers, especially VPS providers. But if you have an AMD processor in your home PC / laptop, not really relevant to you.

I went with the open source one. Slightly more expensive, but had I wanted to I could have bought all the parts and assembled it myself, compiled the firmware, etc.

If a device relies on any kind of external service to initially set up or function thereafter, do not buy. Regardless of brand.

This is what I strive for. When I was looking for a wall charger for my EV I was shocked at how there was only one option that wasn't "cloud" based. And those aren't cheap.

The person is a modder who put DRM in his own mods and is complaining about DRM.

In my opinion, that's not on Steam to support their client on a long past EOL operating system. Not withstanding the added development workload and costs, there is also significantly more risk associated with supporting an OS that isn't receiving security patches.

Not to mention the modder's example Windows fucking 98. Steam still supports Windows 7, which was released in 2009. Your 6 year old PC will be fine.

My puppy is 14 years old and this possibility terrifies me. I don't have enough PTO to cover the time I feel like I'll be broken. I'm sorry for your loss :(

This is the guy who got banned from Steam's social features for being unhinged, puts DRM in his mods, and will randomly blacklist people using said DRM? Yeah, no loss here.

If only he'd do the same thing to his online presence. What he needs is professional help before he does more damage.

Also what appears to be a typo, Regomize, but is actually them merging "Register" and "anonymize".

9? That's quite a bit of compute lol.

My journey started with 1 server, then 4, then 5 (one functioning as a NAS), then 1 (just the NAS box), then I moved and decided to slim it down to a proper NAS and 1 mini PC/NUC clone. Now I'm up to two because the first was an Intel N105 which just isn't up for the challenges lol
