Those reports might effect investments from the smaller players, but the big names(Google, Microsoft, Meta, etc.) are locked in a race to the finish line. So their investments will continue until one of them reaches the goal...[insert sunk cost fallacy here]...and I think we're at least 1-2 years from there.

They don't build the chips at all. They pay tsmc.
Couldn't agree more. There is quite a bit of AI vaporware but NVIDIA is the real stuff and will weather whatever storm comes with ease.
but I believe that's not correct anymore.
Why do you believe that? As far as I understand, other HW exists...but no SW to run on it...
Try adding a HDMI dummy plug. Older Intel NUC's (8th gen and earlier) have an issue that's fixed (but always seems to come back...) where they don't like functioning headlessly (without a display connected.)
Edit: Also, make sure your BIOS is uptodate.
Looks pretty cool. I'll have to spin up a VM to give it a try.
Intel integrated graphics is pretty phenomenal for ~5 user HTPC setups and NUC's are basically the best Intel products ever. Nothing better than it just working out of the box.
What NUC has a 3.5" bay?
Any Intel NUC(the small 4x4 ones) 8th gen or forward will fit the bill.
I'm not sure I understand what your question is. You are asking why to not torrent, but rather stream...but in relation to the services to setup yourself...
If you have decent internet...zero. why would you start to pay for services to get the same content you are already getting with a tiny bit less effort.
Do a BIOS recovery using the jumper. You'll have to go to download the recovery BIOS from Intel.

Edit: didn't read the full post. You can turn off the other LED in the bios.Youll need a display to know what's going on and to debug. If no storage is present, it usually boots to PXE boot or a screen that says no boot device found.
