PS yes, xbox no In fact since more than 50% of my gaming is away from TB, i sold an xbox Series X just because of that. The traffic on xbox offical app continues to be routed out of your network (validated on firewall) and even though the app sees the bandwidth as high, the latency will be bad...

xbox remote, (unlike PS play remote) channels the stream via the cloud through its own servers even for local streaming. Add the fact there are no local servers in India - and you get a really poor experience. Ps remote play works great otoh because on local, you have very high bandwidth plus...

For productivity, a keyboard folio pretty much a must have and completely transforms the usability of the device. I have both the Apple smart keyboard and the keyboard folio. The latter can often be found for under 10K during sales and while not as great as the floating smart keyboard , its...

I was on a r7000 a long time ago.. great piece of kit but needed better coverage (house has 2 floors ) and 2X separate APs wasn't cutting it. Moved to Netgear Orbi - quite neat but had the typical issues associated with consumer grade equipment that started getting noticeable once covid and wfh...

while some would say unifi is a rip off of Meraki. Subjective opinions aside, all SDN wifi equipment will naturally have a similar looking central interface. Even the underlying APIs and protocols used would be very similar.. What matters is the performance , price and ready availability of...

Ubiquiti and TPL Omada make more or less at-par SDN networking equipment. While the choice may not be as clear if you were in a country where Ubnt is readily available, for folks in India, just select the preferred equipment from the TP - Link Omada range instead. The pricing, warranty and...

Something very similar has been going on in India for years now.. Just sayin!

Which is why I suggested to get familiarized with the OS outside of a locked down machine. Apart from the shared roots both OSes share, Mac OS in every way (other than hardware flexibility) is a very close cousin of linux Accessible for laymen and folks who dont want to tinker too much (unlike...

What do you mean by ignoring updates? Isn't it the user's call when to update, if at all? There are several scenarios which do need an update and it should be the user's decision. eg for my handheld gaming PC (Legion Go and a Rog ally prior to that), - There is no data on them but games. I have...

Because like linux, there are really no constraints on how you want to use your system.. and unlike windows - which is perpetually forcing what MS wants you to do (forced updates anyone?) Of course there are constraints on what hardware you can use (which is a valid gripe) but the software side...

While its a quasi legitimate concern, windows malware blocker also does the same. And its a lot more bothersome if you need to over ride it. Anyway, If the app/ script/whatever is not malware and you do want to run it, you just need to go to settings> security and you will see a list of apps...

I won't comment on apps Some people will say just the reverse and its quite subjective. My own take on this is that I like the app selection on both platforms and both have their pros and cons (which is one of the primary reasons i continue to use two phones despite both being dual sim)...

I have been using both platforms on a daily basis for may years..I like them both and they are way more alike that what the general wisdom on the interwebs may indicate. Over the years, both OSes have converged to a point where the only real functional difference is individual preference...

In all seriousness, he deserves a TE peace medal if not a Nobel. A 51 page thread will finally end with all parties agreeing in peace..that he is, and always has been a turd :laughing:

I have been trying to answer this question for myself for the last 20 years, esp wrt Photos. From storing all my photos on a dedicated NAS as redundant backup starting all the way back in 2006/7 to all sorts of strategies including a plethora of linux scripts on homelab servers and a...
