Same, I played SpaceChem in high school and it captivated me. A lot of my solutions were unoptimized sync monstrosities and the boss battles filtered me pretty hard, but man it was satisfying to figure out a solution and just watch it create the molecules. The music was amazing too, it was on my study playlist all through university.

I think from a purely technical viewpoint, cheaters will always have the advantage since they control the machine the game and anti-cheat is running on. Anti-cheat just has to keep the barrier high enough so regular players don't think the game is infested with cheaters.

Heh, a group of friends and I also visited the Hoover Dam while we were in Vegas for DEF CON one year. Was a really cool experience for sure.

I've got a CalDigit TS4 that I connect to my Macbook Pro. Connects to a 4K 120Hz monitor, mouse, keyboard, wired ethernet, hard drive reader (not always connected), external blu-ray drive, and DAC. Works perfectly.

I used to post on a forum that did this, as well as showing the OS and browser you were posting from. Some users would be funny and modified their user agent so that it said they posted from a Wii.

My university offered a Linux Kernel elective one semester. I really wanted to take it but it was scheduled during one of my TA shifts

Heh, in 2014 I remember taking a taxi that only accepted card using an imprinter, which was unfortunate because I had just gotten a new card and the numbers weren't embossed. He had to drive me to a gas station to get cash from an ATM.

I've never experienced it but I've been told that if an emergency responder needs to enter an area where classified information is stored you let them in, escort them, and security will debrief them and have them sign an NDA after the fact if they saw any classified information.

This video (on top of stuff like YouTube Poops) did an insane amount of damage to my sense of humor growing up.

I've not used their ergonomic keyboards, but Keychron seems to make them and includes Mac keycaps + compatibility.

>The downside is that I can't shut it down remotely without knowing when exactly to also turn off the plug. I could create some automation, but it takes about 2 seconds being off before turning on again.

Huh, I would have expected the BIOS to not do that if it detected a graceful shutdown (or at least have a longer grace period).

I just recently converted my gaming PC to a game streaming system. I considered getting a PiKVM for power/resolving issues remotely but I ended up going with Wake-on-LAN. Though setting it up was a hassle.

If you just need power control and your motherboard supports it, I've seen that some people use smart plugs and enable a setting in their BIOS that turns on the computer whenever it detects power.
