My understanding is that this unlocks future-tech... Post quantum computing, hyper efficient rail tech, fast charging batteries, etc. Pretty neat stuff, and even cooler to be able to follow this as it develops.

Any advice on the USB switcher? I've had a hard time finding one that was of high enough quality to be a daily driver. I need USB3 for my webcam as well

Wow, had no idea this thing was still around. Takes me back to neo Kodi/XBMC/Windows ME days. So much hardware and software to accomplish what a small stick does today.

Kagi has been a delightful experience for me for two months. Don't think I'm ever going back.

I've had a pair of Audio engine speakers for almost 8 years now and have no reason to change them. They're great!

Seems like a good time to flatten my Dell windows 11 laptop and install Nix on it. I've really loved using NixOS in various VMs but the experience is so good I want to use it full time.

Any recommendations on how to best set up pre boot encryption and opt in state these days?
