Older devices stop getting software/firmware updates.

But usually simpler things like USB to Ethernet adapters and switches don’t have much going on update wise. If anything at all. Switches often do, adapters rarely do.

The best you can do is keep an eye on updates for the devices, if any. Keep an ear out for reported vulnerabilities, and then retire devices when they are no longer maintained.

But all of that is quite a burden for a device most people set up and forget about. At some scale, and in some senses, there is no good answer. New vulnerabilities are found all the time in hardware/software.

If you just mean “will old devices stop working”? No. This would just impact new sales.

Is this lemmy post an Xbox?

“Ok, yes, it’s named Rachel. Yes. we had a vote in the office to name our bot, and ‘Rachel’ won.”

Did you get a TP Link?

Last time I was in the market, they were a top pick.

I wasn’t sure what kind of train you were talking about until I looked at the comic again.

Oh no. More sky pollution.

Yeah, run 20 random poorly optimized things like this and you got 100%.

I’m pretty smart myself, and I’m treated the same way. 😏

Exactly. Good ol Bernie.

Believe me. I know.

I’ve been around VRChat since 2016, know many current and former devs. I’ve discussed this sort of thing over and over during the past 8 years.

I’ve also been in high fidelity where they successfully ran events with hundreds of people.

I was at this event, and the crowd feel was amazing. But it took a very expensive array of servers to pull it off. VRChat is peer to peer. High Fidelity was server based and used a set of discrete servers to host the different aspects of the platform. Player location/pose, voice mixing, etc. Each aspect had their own server processing and compressing and streaming the data to each user. I forget how many there were total.

I’m not asking for 1000 people. I’m yearning for something around 333 people.

Edit: oh, and I’m also aware of there being private tests where they achieved ~200 people, stable, in a single instance in VRChat. I forget the exact count. I think it’s still under High Fidelity’s record.

I think you might enjoy how Bernie reacts to being asked about the New Jersey drones:

(Time stamped, it was the second to last question)

There is absolutely nothing going on, huh?

That’s a strong take. Wow. I don’t agree with that. I agree there is at least 50% hysteria going on, but 100%? I don’t think so.
