What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for?

I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren’t worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

Issues with HDR pass through on x86

After some researches I find two ways to have HDR pass through on Linux x86: Libreelec and kodi “stand alone session”....

Weird question I've tried to Google, what would be the best basketball video game to help a child understand the game/develop court sense?

My 10-year old son plays, but has learning disabilities and is having trouble understanding why he’s doing things. I was hoping to find a video game he could play that would help him learn practically in a non-teaching environment. Without coaches, parents, and other players triggering his anxiety....

Lighter weight replacements for Sentry bug logging

I love Sentry, but it’s very heavy. It runs close to 50 Docker containers, some of which use more than 1GB RAM each. I’m running it on a VPS with 10GB RAM and it barely fits on there. They used to say 8GB RAM is required but bumped it to 16GB RAM after I started using it....

What caused the change in electronic terminology?

What caused the shift from calling things like rheostats and condensers to resistors and capacitors, or the move from cycles to Hertz?...

Yo, what was your first computer? How old were you, where and how did you get it, what did you do with it, etc.

TL;DR It was an old Wang system, 286 processor(I think, anyway), with no hard drive, a 5.25" floppy drive, and a lovely green monochrome monitor. I didn’t have it long enough to reach the point where I could have identified the actual hardware/specs....

Running immich, HA and Frigate on a RPi4 with Coral or on a HP Prodesk 700 g4 (Intel 8th gen)

Currently I’ve got a RPi4 without Coral, running Frigate with 2 cams, HA, Paperless, Photoview and Qbittorrent. This works well but maxes out the RPi4. As I want to add Immich and more cams, I have to upgrade. Budget allows for either a USB Coral with the existing RPi4 or buy a secondhand HP Prodesk 600 g4 with Intel 8th gen....

Has Anyone Ever Pulled Off Federated Inventory?

I’ve been thinking lately about the concept of the fediverse and repurposing it toward the goal of creating a free and open, decentralized, federated network of vendors that run instances or groups of vendors that run one instance together. These instances would broadcast inventory updates to each node that they federate with....

Where, and when, did you start using Linux? Where are you now?

I started fairly recently (probably somewhere between nine and seven years ago; time isn’t my strong suit, cut me some slack) on Debian. Now I’m on Arch Linux.

Help with Tailscale uninstall

I recently decided to switch to proper wireguard instead of tailscale and finally be fully opensource on my home server, however, when I uninstalled Tailscale I lost internet on the server. I’ve tried editing the resolv.conf and rebooting a couple times but I can’t find anything else and I am square out of ideas. Has anyone...

What is an average person living in the US supposed to do about corporations raising prices?

They keep raising prices, stating that it’s due to inflation, but then they keep having record profits....

Conflicted about Auth servers shenanigans

Planning on enabling SSO on my homeserver services. Issue being, i already have an auth server for services i host for friends, using authentik. Would it be worth it to make another auth server for my personal/family needs, or would it be better to use the existing authentik instance?
