    Why does MacOS cost less in support in businesses than Windows

    If you calculate purchase price (used or new) divided by years of security updates left you end up with used phones not being that much cheaper than new ones per year (unless you tend to break of lose your phone often). Of course new flagship phones tend to get more expensive every year, which...

    Best HDD for long term storage solution?

    It's what I do. I run raw FreeBSD for my backup holding server. The hardware is ECC enabled and can take SAS disks. That's about as complete as it gets short of a tape robot.

    Monitors larger than 32", but not curved or ultrawide?

    I have a Gigabyte AORUS FV43U 43" which does very well. Around 100 dpi, so no scaling at all.

    Anybody else zooming around in the Phantom II? Flies perfectly, like a brick with enough power.

    Another day, Another Rumor of Valve being Acquired

    This isn't good for Linux. The Wine emulation layer that allows people to run Windows software on Linux is the foundation of the Steamdeck. Many important improvements to the Wine project come from Valve. It is hard to imagine that MS as an owner would continue this.

    Microsoft Reportedly Readies $16 Billion Bid to Acquire Valve / Steam

    Well, "shelfed", which could or could not be the same as cancelled.

    Multiple NIC’s, I have some questions

    Your plan in the first post is doable. I can't help you with Windows to set up the routing, though. You probably also want a dhcp server on that central machine. And transfers between 2 machines that are not the central one could be slower going through the computer instead of through a switch.

    Multiple NIC’s, I have some questions

    That creates a single point of failure and you have to tell all those computers all the routes (unless you want to go all the way and run a routing demon). I would hook up everything except the internet to one 10 Gb switch that can talk 2.5 Gb.

    Can't you measure the thickness of the existing pads?

    Best HDD for long term storage solution?

    I use the Toshiba drives with good success. You can make a NAS with RAID1.

    Do I want a EA-written application on my Mac? Nope.

    Winamp's source code to be released publicly on September 24

    Of course if people had selected an open source package that wouldn't have been an issue. But they got locked in.
