So, there has to be a way to manually disengage the park brake. And I say that because otherwise techs wouldn’t work on them. Time is money in the automotive service industry. That information will leak eventually. It’s stupid to even intentionally try this.

The populace can’t track police, but police can track the populace. Sounds like BS.

A fair assesment. Except that you have to (and should be) cleaning the upright vacuum as well. Vacuum fires are no joke.

Yeah. I’ve got an 870 that’s still cleaning. It gets stuck under furniture and needs to be rescued at least once a week, and last week it lost its ass dustbin somehow mid clean, but it’s still kicking.

I don’t use my PS5 to surf the web. I know you can use it to watch movies and stuff, but I don’t use it for that either.

At best, it depends on what kind of user most of the console owners are.

On the other hand I own 3 different raspberry pi’s. One for Home Assistant, one for Pihole, one for booting the server computer when I’m not home if I want to stream a movie from my library.

I was able to overclock it to a crazy level. Played all kinds of games on it between me and my roommate. It was finiky using big picture mode (I ended up buying a dedicated mouse and keyboard for it to use on a lapboard at the time), but BPM gave me trouble with controllers, refusing to quit to desktop, and hanging on launching games occasionally.

A lot of Dell’s BS software went the way of the dodo bird as soon as I could get rid of it for similar reasons. The update to windows 10 I also seem to remember giving me trouble. MS didn’t consider it supported hardware. But it all worked out and now that thing is my media center PC. It’s still running after all this time, which is crazy.

As someone who owned the Alienware one with windows 8 (and upgraded it to windows 10, and a 2TB SSD), I’m glad to find anyone else who actually bought one, especially the steam OS variant, and has expertise with it, rather than regurgitating what articles say.
