    I never understood these things until I went back to university. Now I totally understand having my life on my laptop and just being able to sit down and plug in for a gaming experience.

    I don’t like using my desktop that much anymore because I spend so much time on my laptop, and syncing files over nextcloud is meh.

        I mean sure, but I’m not always connected and my cell plan has a limit.

            Stg some colleges regressed in their network. I transferred colleges and at my old college, I occasionally struggled to stream steam games from my desktop in my dorm. The university I graduated from last had proper gigabit. I knew some people form my old college and it somehow got worse.

                It’s like a few mb best case scenario. Most people were getting really bad dsl speeds. For me, my game streaming was horribly compressed and almost unplayable.

                Edit: this was 2023/4

    OCuLink is kinda rad, I wish it were more widely used. (Maybe I’m just looking at motherboards from the wrong generation.)
