My understanding is that all of the codecs we are discussing are deterministic. If you have evidence to the contrary I'd love to see it.

You can boot from USB with UEFI, that's not a showstopper. Unless I'm missing something?
It's still a bad idea. If they have some really nasty malware installed it could rootkit your device, and vice versa - and you never really know. Just build a small portable computer (eg. Raspberry pi, NUC, etc) and use their KB/mouse/display.
Other peeps are saying just connect to a remote desktop you have hosted somewhere using your friend's PC - don't do that, you can't trust their software/hardware.
Are you negging him cos you want him to be your man baby?
I laughed at the word 'fastness', but then realised it's a lot safer than offering 'speed' on the internet lol
Yeah that caught my eye too, seems odd. Most compression/encoding schemes benefit from a large dictionary but I don't think it would be constrained by the sometimes lesser total RAM on a GPU than the main system - in most cases that would make the dictionary larger than the video file. I'm curious.
I agree, the delivery services are definitely price gouging to a degree. It sucks that we're charged for delivery, service fees AND the item prices are inflated by around 20% too. Thing is, I think there's a bunch of reasons that TonyDelivers will eventually become as bad as the current market leaders. As his company grows, takes on employees, builds infrastructure, overheads increase, management grows - they'll fall into the same "traps"/profit seeking the other delivery companies have fallen into.
Exactly, most services can be tied into a central authentication system/SSO and can automatically be disabled upon disabling an SSO user.
In a capitalist economy it's normally a "growth or death" situation, for many reasons.
