My opinion is that you should wait for 6-12 months before making a purchase either way. Open weight models are getting good. With GLM 5.2 now chasing Opus, I'm very excited to see a smaller model's distillation. Plus, the OLED Mac

The "just wifi" is about getting your true geolocation so regulated gaming platforms can operate legally. Ironically, I bet whatever API they use can be intercepted by a kernel level process. They also have VM checks. I "acci

I wonder how open and shut those DUI cases really are. In Michigan, they’ve recently discovered their THC test would return positive with the presence of CBD. https://www.mlive.com/public-interest/2022/08/mich

The Steam Link continues to be very useful for my girlfriend and I. It’s plug and play and we haven’t had issues with compatibility or controllers like we have trying to set steam up on a Pi 4.

Epic has no DRM. Steam’s “DRM” is non intrusive and optional. The EGS is a CEF application and is probably less resource efficient than it should be.

I don't think you have thought about the problem space enough. Nobody has disputed that JWT reduces network latency. My argument is that JWTs are unnecessary complexity for your app, overused, potentially dangerous [0] and for 99% of

You keep parroting "complexity", yet in your original argument you stated that for "sensitive" requests, you should just hit the backend anyway. So that implies that you already have a database setup and you are alread
