I’m just unsure if I want to keep it running 24/7

This is exactly how I’d think about my daily driver. Unless the laptop you mentioned turns out to be a spare, that is…

You’d be surprised on what modern router got these days. I got a Linksys e8450 running OpenWRT on 512 MB of RAM and 1.35GHz of dual ARM core. Regardless I wouldn’t want to push it as I’d be in great trouble if that thing goes down (my whole household depends on it).

I do believe that router can serve files with no issue, just that it’d be limited to the USB 2.0 that it has. I’d still want a dedicated device regardless just so that I won’t feel bad about breaking it from time to time.

Because you’d need it for work, of course!

You would not wanna run jellyfin or any on-the-fly transcoding on anything but a dedicated device, my dude. Definitely wouldn’t on a work laptop.

Some routers are able to share files on USB devices, so that might be another option.

While we’re on this topic:

Anyone running PostmarketOS for daily driver? I got a Fairphone 4 running LineageOS but am thinking to switch to it. I looked on the wiki but seems the support is incomplete…

He’s been stuck in a school-like purgatory for seven decades?

Might as well ditch the Alpine base if that’s what they want.

Where is this from??

Grow up

And you’re an idiot who watches too much movies.

You don’t seem to understand my point.

They would’ve done it if it’s easy, or given no other choice. It would’ve been much easier & cheaper to just buy the IP license than stealing it. All businesses (including the unlawful ones) would choose the easier & cheaper option.

I mean… they could’ve hired a bunch of hackers to try stealing it from the company server or something. Then again, cost (and also risk) would incur.

No, it doesn’t work like in the movie. Everything here simply comes down to cost & benefit. Boring, huh…?

Reverse engineering is reverse engineering. It is in fact legal in most places.

Yes, there are differences between unlawfully acquiring design document and creating one thru collection of perceivable data

While they might not give a shit about patent, they do need the design detail, something only the licensor could give.

Without it, they’d be spending their precious time reverse engineering with no guarantee of success.

RISC-V, on the other hand, have the design documents available to public.

They’d require license to produce x86 hardware, but not with RISC-V since it’s patent free.

Why not RISC-V?

They can doubt all they want…

You know what else got integrated memory? Arduino.

No.

you don’t
