  • Hezbollah has shot missiles into Israel territory frequently and that’s a good thing. Since October 7th they have shot at precise military targets in relation to border skirmishes.

    Senior Hamas leadership is a separate entity from the al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, who does have authority to take action without authorization from Hamas (and does frequently). Which is why the escalation and assassination is a bit puzzling, but I do feel Hezbollah being brought into the conflict as a much stronger force is a good thing if it means the destruction of the occupation and genocide being committed by Israel.





  • I actually just answered this question on another post in this forum. I’ve been using a KVM to use my living room TV as another screen that I can play games / stream video / generally use my PC which is in my bedroom.

    It works great in a max resolution of 4K/60hz and zero latency as far as I can tell on the USB ports for gaming controllers and mouse & keyboard. I use KDE big screen to easily navigate & open programs, emulators, steam, whatever with a controller so I don’t have to try to read tiny 4K text from the couch. I generally find disabling my monitors and enabling my TV works best.

    Basically how it works is:

    PC (HDMI & USB) -> transmitter -> Ethernet (CAT 6 or better) -> receiver -> TV (HDMI & USB)

    The Ethernet wire only connects from the transmitter to the receiver. It does not connect to your network at all.

    This is the particular one I got:

    Basicolor HDMI KVM USB Extender 4K@60Hz KVM Extender Over Cat5e/Cat6 Up to 60m (196Ft), 4 Ports USB,Lossless or Zero Latency, Plug&Play(Point to Point KVM Extender) https://a.co/d/8Ki2lzw

    Other option, if everything is in the same room you could just run some long HDMI or displayport and USB cables.




  • FWIW, I have an old steam link. I can’t remember what video settings I was getting. But I know they weren’t 4K/60hz. I ran one additional cat 6A Ethernet wire to a dedicated KVM from my desktop to my living room OLED TV. I’ve been very impressed by the result. I’ve mostly played a lot of my old favorites on various emulators. It’s been very nice playing through the metal gear solid series in upscaled 4K and avoiding that crap collection that was just released by Konami.

    The steam link is cool and I’m glad to see Valve still supporting it all these years later. But the flexibility of a KVM is really nice. I watched a Steelers stream today just using my TV as another monitor basically. And KDE big screen is very nice for navigating things with a controller and not trying to read tiny text in 4K resolution lol
