Reason why they are not comparible, because these knock off fly by night brands will offer no support, no returns if you try, no firmware updates and are usually using old dated controllers and chips.

Ya, i did this with the mother-in-law - set up her accounts on her device, all recovery options go to my number or emails (she didnt want to have a lock screen on her phone... forced that at least) and she has lost her phone 3 times in 2 years.... I then explained how her unlocked phone gives...

k, nice , didnt see that :D If they are doing that then awesome, that is always my concern, is some backdoor chip in these things that starts sending out, or for all we know has a sleeper device in it that doesnt turn on for a while. In the end, how do you block this from sending out data if it...

I do like to think STH had some decent credibility, but the amount of cheap "back of a truck" Chinese products they push these days, some with known chipset bugs or other faults (why the items in said product were discontinued) they do not even bother to research...

Windows 11 will run like crap off a USB drive (unless it is a USB 3 SSD type external USB drive...)

This wasnt Roku's fault, this is people using the same login info across multiple services. People should know better by now, but they dont...

Intel MEI is something only in specific motherboards, so 2 options are either stop buying those devices, but if it is a work environment you may have it so you can do remote management if ever needed, or ya, disable it and just get any other NIC and off you go.

I just use Steam and Proton for windows games, and for me performance is still all there, I can do Apex Legends and max out at 144FPS as I could in windows. Most other games I play though, have linux versions, Steam games, Civilization. On one hand, it almost makes it easier for me to choose...

Sure there are specific cases where someone may need Windows due to specific software, but for most home users, especially those not specific to gaming (Steam and proton works great!) there are alternatives, but people dont want to try them. I switched to nix distro as my main OS years ago...

Pulling a Broadcom.. cut off all the smaller people, even though it costs them nothing on support, or make their entry into the products so dam high either people will bite, or a few will leave. sad.

I think they do not list it because it is not really an issue. Every NIC supports those features because they are often needed or used, and if they are getting exploited, then someone is likely already with in your network and you have bigger issues. Are there active PoC's for that of those...

This part I do not always understand. People are willing to spend stupid amounts of money on hardware, or on games, but nope! I am not paying for the core OS that lets everything even work and makes my computer usable..... If you hate MS that much move to linux?

Same, I have returned things with out a hitch and always got refunded.

^^ I did not know about that. Stupid for sure, it is amazing how sometimes the "justice system" is so a$$ backwards.

Not suprising....(another reason why I am glad nix is my main OS!) Windows 10 users: Get ready to be bugged about creating a Microsoft Account Read more: https://www.tweaktown.com/news/97720/windows-10-users-get-ready-to-be-bugged-about-creating-microsoft-account/index.html
