KVM or USB switch reccomendation
  • As someone that works in AV for exactly your type of scenario.. you unfortunately won't find anything that supports >1080p60 for under $500. That type of video bandwidth is at a premium for switching on KVMs, matrixes, eg. Good USB 3 support is unfortunately expensive, too.

    Expect lots of noticeable lag, too. Switches aren't engineered for gaming yet.

  • Microsoft won't update your Windows 11 PC if it has these apps
  • This, 100%. Autodesk has full industries by the balls and just laughing their way to the bank.

    Zero fucks for their user base and bloated buggy software. We would ditch them in an instant if AutoCAD wasn't required for prints.

  • Microsoft won't update your Windows 11 PC if it has these apps
  • My job includes programming devices from manufacturers that only write their software for Windows. There are entire industries that are blind to anything but Windows due to lock-in from one or more manufacturers of devices needed for daily operations.

    Some consumer products are similarly locked-in due to supporting software. There may be alternatives for common tools, but device-specific things simply won't work on Linux, 90% of the time. Sure, we can request the manufacturer support Linux in some way, but good luck getting any response let alone a working port.

    Edit: Yes, it may be becoming more painful to use Windows, but until it's less painful to take the Linux path for viable alternatives, nothing will change.

  • Learning to back up my messages
  • I've used SMS Backup & Restore for several years to do exactly what you describe.

    Everything backs up to a local folder on my phone and I sync to my home server. The app can sync backups to a cloud storage, but it isn't required.
