For less money than some gaudy gaming wireless router that you end up replacing every 3 years, you can grab a Mini PC with two NICs, a wireless access point, and install OpnSense.

Your life will be irrevocably changed for the better.

I am Cargon's complete lack of surprise.

Small and medium businesses expect their profits to go up under Trump, but they aren't considering the exorbitant salary they will have to pay their political officer to stay in the good graces of the local chapter of the MAGA Inquisition.

There are a lot of Republicans I need to outlive before I throw in the towel.

I'm surprised we don't hear more about judges getting shanked for their shit reasoning.

Vance was definitely the kid in grade school that plucked and ate the hair of the girl who sat in front of him. I wonder if she's okay.

Could still be hair!

This is exactly where my mind went. Bravo.

 

Ah yes, but you see, I also played Hacknet

 

I have an LG-38WN95C monitor which has a single Thunderbolt 3 port, which I use for my work M1 Macbook Pro. It's really convenient to have a single cable running from my laptop to my monitor.

But is it possible to achieve something similar with a full desktop PC? My PC has discrete graphics and a motherboard with no video-capable Thunderbolt output.

I was thinking of using a Thunderbolt hub, but most of them look like they are for use cases where the Thunderbolt cable plugs into the host machine, and then the monitor and peripherals branch off from the hub using DisplayPort / HDMI and USB.

But I want to do the reverse for the video signal. I want the hub's Thunderbolt cable plugged into my monitor, with the hub's DisplayPort link used as an input, not an output, which is passed to the monitor.

I feel like Thunderbolt's bi-directional-ness and daisy-chainability should mean this is possible, but I have little experience using Thunderbolt and I find it difficult to understand what hardware is capable of what behaviors. And with Thunderbolt hubs as expensive as they are, I am hesitant to drop significant money on a blind experiment.

Years ago, Brother printers seemed to be one of the few feasible options. What's the printer landscape like today? Are there any plug and play options that aren't part of some ink scam?
