Is anyone here using their hardware TPM chips for credentials?

I’m curious about the possible uses of the hardware Trusted Protection Module for automatic login or transfer encryption. I’m not really looking to solve anything or pry. I’m just curious about the use cases as I’m exploring network attached storage and to a lesser extent self hosting. I see a lot of places where public...

Curious what folks like to do with spent coffee grounds / espresso pucks / stale beans. Personally have tried to use as fertilizer with limited success, used as a substrate for growing oyster mushrooms, and in cooking (brown bread made with some stale espresso grind really helps the flavor).

Is streaming IPTV without obfuscation safe?

I’m not sure exactly how police hunt down “illegal” activities on the Internet though, streaming https://iptv-org.github.io/ without using any protection against ISPs is not a good idea I think. Do you use IPTV? If so, is your connection on a VPN or Tor (streaming on Tor would be a horrible experience though)?

What's the best headset to use for both PC and console right now?

So, I currently have a HyperX Cloud Orbit S headset that I’ve been using for both my PC and my PS4.

Last night, I completed a sleep study. They connected me to an EEG and EKG. They also measured my breathing and monitored me all night through video and audio.
