The ideal is “plays fine at lowest graphics settings on old hardware” while having “high graphics settings” that look fantastic but requires too-of-the-line hardware to play reasonably.

Generally this is almost impossible to achieve.

I don’t fudge rolls, but I do dynamically adjust enemy’s max HP depending on how well my players are doing.

This will be useful if you are trying to let multiple people share your computer remotely. If you are trying to set up personal game streaming for one client at a time, try Moonlight and Sunshine (more mature, easier to setup, works on any hardware).

True but Nvidia has been making performant ARM chips (for example, the ones in the Nintendo Switch)

The idea is ARM can be more efficient, which translates as longer battery life and/or faster computers for the end user.

This is and always will be true about software. Progress sometimes means abandoning bad ideas, even ideas that were good at the time but are bad now that something else has changed.

Old Windows games generally don’t work on modern Windows without a virtual machine.

It’s cute.

Technically there isn’t a benefit to Michelangelo’s sculpture either.

My game’s anticheat software is already using root level permissions to monitor other program’s RAM, my OS might as well have all that data too.

My gaming OS is a malware mess. I don’t use windows for anything else since that’s the only thing it’s good at. I’ll move to Linux once my friends stop playing the games that require Windows only malware anti cheat.

I’ve been alone in the forest with a bear and it just sat there doing its own thing as I walked by, doing my own thing.

Yeah throwing a piece of sodium metal into water will cause a violent reaction. Even touching it with your finger is bad because of the moisture on your skin.

But sodium chloride (table salt) dissolves in water easily and safely, resulting in an aqueous solution including sodium ions.

Using ProtonVPN probably isn’t doing what you want it to do, since the port they will give you is random, but for your website you will want ports 80 and 443 exposed.

CloudFlare will hide your IP will properly forwarding traffic (and other benefits, like caching images on their CDN, if you want them). Also their free tier is more than enough for something like this.

How are Apple’s AirPods not “in ear canal things”?

The way you recover data from a totally dead drive is use a program that scans every byte and looks for structures in the data that look like files e.g. a jpeg will have a header followed by some blocks of content. In an encrypted drive everything looks like random data.

Even if you have the key, you can’t begin searching through the data until it’s decrypted, and the kind of error that makes it so your drive won’t mount normally is likely to get in the way of decrypting normally as well.

Probably. Go to developer.apple.com. You want to download Xcode and install the iOS SDK through XCode. You may need to make (free tier) Apple Developer Account before it lets you download.

Note that you can’t install apps from the iOS App Store on the iOS simulator; only a handful of system apps and anything you build for the simulator yourself.

Apple provides an iPhone emulator as part of their official SDK. Free to download, but only runs on Mac.

You literally can’t buy a non-smart TV anymore

The rules end up there because people complain about things and then the mods implement a rule to ban the things people complain about. Sometimes they let the community vote on it. It does end up being the vocal minority who the rules cater to sometimes.

Traditional 2FA (assuming you mean apps with codes) can be done from the same device (if you have the app with the codes installed on that device).

It doesn’t defeat the purpose of 2FA. The 2 factors are 1. The password and 2. You are in possession of a device with the 2FA codes. The website doesn’t know about the device until you enter the code.
