AMD graphics are stable if you use the open source drivers, but if you need their closed drivers for whatever reason (eg opencl) then they are extremely unstable and much worse than nvidia.
Of course if you're going to arm then apple is currently about the best option.
Or just get a usb air mouse remote. There's plenty available.
Why build your own? There are plenty of available set top boxes on the market complete with remote controls and a variety of different software, everything from the cheap chinese android boxes running kodi to the apple tv, and all of them are better than the crapware bundled with any tv set.
What [the National Design Studio] is doing is taking the parts of the federal government that touch you directly, your prescription, your voter registration, your passport, your federal login, out of the agencies that legally own them and rebuilding them on White House infrastructure. Vote.gov belongs to the Election Assistance Commission, and the studio built a copy. Passports belong to the State Department, and the studio is building a replacement this week. Login.gov belonged to GSA, and the studio’s guy runs it now.
Trump has said publicly that this infrastructure is for other presidents, and he is right about that. It is the one thing in this story I take him at his word on. The infrastructure outlasts him. Whoever wins in 2028 inherits the websites, the vendors, the data, and the hardware, sealed and waiting.

The biggest problem is caused by the deficiencies of legacy IPv4 and the various kludges to mitigate those deficiencies instead of using the proper solution.
Early versions of HTTP/HTTPS assumed one site per IP. It was quite easy for a firewall to whitelist and/or blacklist individual sites.
Then they added host headers and SNI to allow multiple sites to share a single IP. This is because legacy IPv4 is expensive and in short supply.
So now in order to whitelist/blacklist sites you need to filter at a higher level as you need to be able to match the host header not just the IP.
Once you add in SSL it gets even worse as your firewall devices cannot inspect the Host header without breaking SSL. Some places implement full SSL interception and MITM, but this then totally breaks with applications that enforce certificate pinning etc.
Yes it's a mess of kludge upon kludge, resulting in security problems, Move to IPv6 with unique IPs per site and these problems can go away.
You didn't read the whole post: "Set up your TV to simply be a monitor and use a cheap little computer as an HTPC".
Seriously who bothers with the crapware built into a tv anyway? Just use it as a dumb screen and attach other devices to it. The devices are cheap and much easier to replace than a tv. I have a tv from more than 10 years ago which i still use in one room, with a newer box connected to it. The built in crapware on the tv is now totally useless as it stopped being supported years ago.
AIX has always run on Power/PPC, running it on an Apple branded PPC machine is not strange at all. Legacy macOS 10 was never meant as a server OS so it made sense to use something that was.
IBM Z has run Linux for a long time, it's not surprising that people would port other open source systems to it like opensolaris, there's probably BSD ports too.
Azure is just not all that great. AWS, GCP, even Oracle and several other options have a lot of advantages, the main selling point of azure is being tied to windows and other legacy systems.
If you have a clean slate you're much better off going with AWS or GCP.
They killed a lot more of their own civilians back in january than the combined US/IL strikes have done since.
but obviously you can't do that if you have a huge farm of devices to support.
It depends what those devices are. In a lot of cases this "huge farm" is actually "hundreds of virtual machines running on the same hypervisor" so you absolutely can compile a custom kernel and roll it out. The memory usage vs a generic kernel will also be somewhat lower, multiplied by the number of virtual machines and you have quite decent savings.
Using the waste heat makes much more sense in a new development, as the properties would be designed to make use of the waste heat rather than having to retrofit it later alongside a conventional heating system.
You would assume that the server farm would have its own connectivity, and having installed it they could use the same physical lines to provide service to the residents, so long as it's optional and you're not forced to use this specific provider (their service could be terrible).
In English, every word can be verbed. Would that it were so in our programming languages.
