What I don’t understand is why. This sounds like way more work than spinning up some out-of-the-box framework with oAuth or a Google login and hosting it on Lambda or Azure. What is logging in on a VM box even going to do for the device?
Yeah, I was on the fence and now I wish I had bought it. I’d still get my money back and I’d have a cool cosplay prop.
Looks like it’s a no-go for Destiny 2. Here’s a useful site to check next time. https://www.protondb.com/app/1085660
So happy they brought Steam Powered Giraffe back to do the soundtrack.
I found out something shocking that could be related to this. AWDL, the proprietary protocol behind AirDrop, will exclusively use channel 6 on 2.4ghz networks and channel 49 (in the US) on 5ghz networks to find any nearby clients, and it’ll look for them about once a second. That means if your WiFi network isn’t broadcasting on those channels, any Apple device that doesn’t have AirDrop disabled will constantly be switching WiFi channels to check for this and switching back. I learned this when trying to get VR streaming over WiFi to a Vision Pro and found very consistent lag spikes once a second until I changed channels on my WiFi router.
It’s like the ending of Silicon Valley. Maybe they’re trying to shit their pants so badly that nobody will ever try to make another device like this.
