Can someone techsplain to me why I should pay US$75 for a mechanical keyboard? Is it that much better? #TechQuestions #Gear #Peripherals

@ant_pruitt @leo @jasonhowell I have Amazon gift cards from Chris that will get me a quest 2 for about $70. I have no real interest in VR or AR, but I want to watch YouTube and YouTube TV on it.

Can I watch YouTube TV and YouTube via apps on the device? #techquestions

I don’t ask for much, truly.

I simply want to watch “The Vampire Lovers” (1970) in 4K without having to buy a Blu-Ray player & screen or converting my iMac into a Blu-Ray player.

Because if I do either of these latter things, then I may as well buy more Blu-Rays.

And I’m not sure I want to go down that rabbit hole. (I do I want to know that I *can*, hence my earlier question.)

Okay, it’s time for a nerd question. Help me, nerds.

I want to connect a Blu-Ray player to my iMac and watch movies etc on the screen.

Have you done this? Would you recommend it?

Still getting moved in and settled. Here's a tech moving question. If my 2006 Mac Mini says 110-240 VAC 50/60Hz, I can plug that directly into the wall with a UK/US plug adapter without a transformer and not worry about frying the innards? Don't want to find out the hard way!

TIA

Why can't #mastodon sites load the original page directly instead of telling me to go to the original website?

I guess I found the limits of #DuckDuckGo when it comes to #TechQuestions...

I.e. how do I force a mailserver to reject anything but encrypted (PGP/MIME, optionally also S/MIME) eMails?

And yes, this is related to this post.

Because yeah, I'm sick and tired of #Spam and I think that it's long overdue for me to have #ZeroTolerance to #unencrypted communications.

Does there exist a cable that’s a (male) lightning connector at one end, a (male) 3.5mm jack at the other, and has a mic built into the cable (preferably near(er) to the 3.5mm end)? Kind of like this product, but for plugging into an iPhone: https://amzn.eu/d/iPixZSf #TechQuestions #PlsBoost #Audio

I'm curious about something with RSS. Is it possible to set an RSS feed for a single document?

For instance, say you have a page of resources for a topic.

Maybe you have a page of resources for local trans youth in your area, or a page where you update a list of your favorite local parks.

Does RSS work in such a way that this HTML page could have an RSS feed that someone could subscribe to, to see updates to this one page?

Good morning fellow #Mastodon users (#Mastodons? #Tooters?), what's your preferred #Android #app to use here? I'm currently using the official one but I understand there are a handful of alternatives. #techquestions #newbiequestions
