It appears to be on the feature todo list

Look I'm one for reclining a bit while gaming.... But gaming on the upper monitor looks uncomfortable. Back in college when I used a machine that had a 2x2 layout, top was always for music or reference material, things I didn't need to look at constantly.
Endwalker issues for me were mostly the insane login queues.
Dawntrail went much smoother and you can actually see places where they beefed up capacity, even within a server. Field areas and large cities had more instances than they did in Endwalker - up to 6, as opposed to the 3-4.
Aether I think kind of caught fire, but on Crystal it was pretty chill except for that one time the entire datacenter got dumped back to the login screen. I also heard stories of people getting momentarily trapped on Dynamis if they visited during peak, since the server also validates load when you're coming home.
Who am I to judge if the card has sufficient performance, security, cost, and physical form factor for my needs.
That makes sense
I was thinking it was referring to something like a SAS or BIOS firmware update. Which would be impressive if that also ran BSD
I'd like to politely disagree
Finding alternatives to large software packages is great, don't think I'm not saying that - but any time you have competitor X and competitor Y, be they both commercial, both F/OSS, or some combination thereof, the competitors must be cognizant of each other when setting up features.
Burying your head in the sand and ignoring Microsoft, Apple, and Google is a very solidly Microsoft-Apple-Google-style play. It's the play of someone who believes the other side offers no competition. That's how you get unwieldy features these tech giants implement because they know they can make a 70% effort and people won't be annoyed enough to leave.
Every tool they make has a reason someone made it. Many tools are very important - for one example, the Microsoft Office document format is considered to be almost a universal format in presentations, spreadsheets, and plain documents for message passing between businesses.
But as we as a society design alternatives to those various monopolies (as we should), we need users to want to use the new thing. We have to take what people like and keeps them on their old platform, and best preserve the intent of what they want on the new platform. Doing so requires discussing the features those big tech companies
And as users, when we select the platforms we use, we need to weigh the cost of going with an alternative vs going with a giant. No solution is a perfect solution for everyone, and the chooser needs to weigh the maintenance cost (in hours or money) they will incur, how their users will like/dislike it, and maybe even look at a piece of software and decide "nah the vibes are off".
I'd love a world where those three tech giants had proper competition in all fields, and I think their business practices are scummy and need improvement. But the real alternatives to each need some polish before they're ready to be used by [arbitrary tech illiterate grandmother].
Why would that be illegal? Shouldn't there be some way to plug an older flash drive or console cable into a laptop that doesn't have a type A port? (Ahem, Mac)
A to B made more sense in a world where devices cannot serve as both roles via negotiation. My android phone when I got it utilized a data transfer method of plugging my iPhone charge port into my Android charge port, then the Android initiated the connection as a host device.
The true crime is not that the cable is bidirectional, the true crime is that there is little to no proper distinction and error checking between USB, Thunderbolt, and DisplayPort modes and are simply carried on the same connector. I have no issues with the port supporting tunneled connections - that is in fact how docking stations work - just the minimal labeling we get in modern devices.
I'd be fine with a type-A to type-A cable if both devices had a reasonable chance at operating as both the initiator and target - but that type of behavior starts with USB-OTG and continues in type-C.
Others have some good information here - all I'd like to add to the root is that Windows and Mac have a built-in DNS cache and it's pretty straightforward to add a DNS cache to systemd distros (if it's not already installed or in use) using systemd-resolved or dnsmasq if you really dislike systemd. Some distros enable this from install time.
Systems that utilize a DNS cache will keep copies of DNS query results for a period of time, making the application-level name lookup speed essentially 0ms for a cached result. Cold results obviously incur the latency of the DNS server itself.
HLS is a bidirectional protocol though - the system's total network latency affects how quickly it can change to a new bitrate stream as conditions improve or degrade. And despite the name, it's not just limited to live content. You can use this to deliver fixed-length content
As much as I dislike how Intel works sometimes, this market does not need fewer competitors.
I hear it's also bad to get into a battle of wits with a Sicilian - especially when death is on the line.
