KDE's Falkon Browser Sees First Major Update In Nearly Three Years

HDMI *in*, which is super useful if you want to be able to pass another video source through, such as your PVR/cable box/BD-player.

My solutions involve:

• Multiple inputs on the TV or monitor
• A/V Receiver
• HDMI switch or KVM switch

For my computer setup, I got a nice 8-port HDMI 2.0 KVM switch for about $300, last summer. Apart from a couple minor quirks, it's been working great. I haven't used it to pass audio, but it does.

The main use case I can see for HDMI-in would be recording (e.g. video game or desktop capture). However, I think software-only solutions tend to work well enough.

Another HDMI-in use case would be picture-in-picture, although it'd require your source not be HDCP encrypted. If your device had HDCP decryption, then you could also build a video post-processor.

Anyhoo... I was saying the RK3588 has HDMI in, and so far I haven't seen a NUC (meaning any intel nanopc) which came with that feature. My TV has 5 HDMI inputs and I just rely on that for switching. If my HTPC had an HDMI input then I'd be able to daisy-chain my 2 most-used inputs, avoiding the long reach for the remote drawer when I want to use my X88 Android TV for the few apps that I need which don't have web clients.

Speaking of... did you know Microsoft sees Windows as a tertiary-class security platform? They advertise that fact loudly and clearly by making MS Authenticator for Android and iOS, but not for Windows. Windows is plainly too insecure to be trusted as a credential store, lol.

And it's a good thing.

LOL, indeed.

At my job, we use their free security tools to make security models and threat diagrams of our (linux-based) software. Years ago, I sat a one-day training course on them but have since forgotten most of the details. The cyber security role has become specialized, leaving us simply to interface with the specialists and follow secure coding practices.

What I liked about that ASRock Apollo Lake board I had was that it was passively-cooled, standard form factor, and had native SATA ports. And the thing you just can't beat about Intel's CPUs is the level of driver support. They use the same line of iGPUs as their desktop CPUs, so everything basically just works.

Cool! Thanks for thinking of me!
