Not saying you’re wrong, but I’m trying to be more critical online.
My boss, probably.
I would argue fancy graphics help sell it. It’s the easiest way to grab attention, be it in a trailer or while watching a streamer. Depending on the game it also helps immersion, but not all games need that. All AAA games need to be sold though (at least that’s the aim of any AAA publisher). And people have bought them. And they still do. But they’re starting to learn that attention grabbing graphics doesn’t equal good game.
Good point.
I have 3 but they’re not close to the router. (What I’m saying is: I’m likely target audience, but I don’t have an additional switch nearby, since so far any router I had also had a built in switch.)
But yeah, I get it. Modularity makes sense for repairability.
Well the router I use today has 4 ports (and a built in modem for that matter, but I don’t use that).
I understand I can use a switch, but that means I’ll have to buy a switch in addition to this to replace my router.
Mmh only two Ethernet ports? I guess it’s for people who use mostly wifi only?
I read someone else musing that they must have thought that keeping it plugged in all the time would be bad, so the made it impossible to use the mouse while plugged in. Seems plausible. I suppose it would degrade the battery? Or the cord drag would be bad?
I’m in the same boat, but I think this hike still will make me cancel my family plan. Less time on YouTube is probably good anyway.
That’s still a far cry from the heterogeneous environment called „PC“.
I find your take hilarious - that compiling a console game for PC would be trivial (and to support that very different platform) and that devs/publishers simply „refuse“ to do it.
Now, open source is a different topic and I can’t really estimate the effect it would have if it was standard across the industry.
This will be really easy to google for.

My two year old has shoes like that today!
So, I’ve been trying to set this up with a plan to self host without public access. Just to share family pictures. But I’m cutting a lot of corners to make it work for myself and my family only, since that’s my goal.
