I'm wondering how secure is the hard disk on the Steam Deck.

It's a portable device one could easily lose... or get stolen, given how on-demand it is.

And you also have to consider that "it's a PC", someone could be using it with Google Chrome and have all their private passwords and accounts synced in there.

Would there be any sort of encryption by default or any other form of protection?

Essentially, I'd like to have it behave sort of like an xbox/playstation does where you can just pick up the controller and power up the box remotely without touching the box itself. Or have a wireless wake-on-lan packet sent from my phone or my router so I can power it up remotely.

It seems there are hardware/firmware limitations in the raspberry pi to enter such kind of low power states (they aren't even interested in suspend to RAM), so I was wondering if there's any other SBC that can do that?

Apparently Emby DLNA connection does not work well with my Philips TV.

However, the TV has a built-in web browser (Opera-based) that does work, yet with very poor controls.

Is it possible to somehow select the videos from Android and have them play in the Emby website that's open in the TV's browser?

The game is set in some form of post-apocalyptic future in which you need to be a bad ass to survive as a taxi driver. The taxi is modded Carmageddon style, and can have spikes, and other mods which you can purchase to improve your taxi with the money you get on each stage.

Each stage has some mission or objective that might be related to the story. It might involve bringing someone safely with your taxi from point A to point B, but I seem to remember there were also some other stages in which you might not have anyone inside your cab.

When you do have someone in your taxi, you can see them sitting in your back seat if you press a key to look back. The characters are 2D and wacky-looking,

It would be really cool if there was a way for a torrent to be updated with new content, even if it's on an append-only manner.

This would be perfect for things like content repositories, things like collections of data that might get new additions every few months.

I wouldn't even mind too much if the updates required you to add a new torrent magnet link, as long as the new torrent automatically was able to communicate with peers from the old one to keep seeding (or downloading) the old data, and only seed/take the new data from new peers that have also the new torrent magnet link.

I mean.. you could try and do this manually, using separate torrents containing only incremental updates, b

I'm currently using a router with a custom firmware (http://freetz.org/) running dnsmasq.. I have a custom script to make a blocklist in a very similar way as to how pihole does it.

However.. I noticed pihole is able to collect statistics of domains blocked and it can even tell what are the most often accessed domains. How does it do that? it looks like it uses a standard dnsmasq. Does it parse dnsmasq log output?

I'd love to set up an interface like the one pihole offers, but I'm not sure my router can handle that.

I refuse to believe the sensitivity can't be improved.

I mean.. if I turn off the trackball friction, the joystick emulation can manage amazing speeds when I release the thumb from it, just by emulating inertia. And when I use the mouse emulation mode, I can see how the touchpad really has enough precision to detect small movements.

I just want to get a small movement in the touchpad input that can translate to a faster joystick output movement. There are examples that show that this should be possible... why then don't we have a way to amplify the output of the mouse-like joystick?

I'm trying to set up a configuration for "Alien: Isolation" that uses gamepad buttons (so that I can see ac

I've been checking on the configuration window and it looks like there's no way to set a repeat on hold for standard buttons (those that are not the triggers, joytick or the left pad).

For example, I wanted to assign the scrollwheel to the 2 buttons on the back of the controller for some game, but noticed I have to press it multiple times, each tap only sends one event and I would like it to continue scrolling on hold.

It would be nice if when you are in the key selection window there was a way to display an "advanced options" button that allowed to set turbo settings. Because this setting would be appropriate for basically every instance of a binding, I can't think of a case where it wou
