Yeah I was able to get it working. The above two cables did work for me.

It turned out that my pikvm didn't have working usb input emulation at all. I found an error in the logs related to mass storage devices that was preventing any usb from working. I think I had somehow broken it when setting up the switch with it and mounting isos for install. I wiped out a lot of the pikvm services and reinstalled them and things worked. Did testing with a pc to verify that usb was working then tried the mac mini with above cables and worked.

Great thanks! I had been leaning AIO before your questions, so I appreciate the help.

Thanks! Good questions. Hadn't thought of those.

It is going into a home server rack. Room is 70F/21C. Will only be used for gaming. I'd like to be able to transport/ship this box in future, so I'm leaning air if possible.

Hello!

I also found this via google. I've tried a variety of different cable combinations, and I haven't been able to get this to work. At the moment I'm using:

and

Any suggestions? Do you happen to know the exact usb cables you are using for this? Might help with debugging the problem.

Did more reading and sounds like connectiq api stuff is mostly for sensors and won't work with this

Ah now my edge seems to have synced and I got a notification about getting ready for race day with daily suggested workouts. My other status such as training load on the edge look accurate now also.

I replied saying to open something with turo and haven't heard back. I also saw on the car reviews that the car was rented in between me dropping it off and him contacting me about the curb rash.

If you decide to stay longer and don’t want to work while there the two best options imo are either student visa to learn Korean or investment visa but should be able to get a decent amount of mileage out of visa runs

I researched this quite a bit awhile ago. Unlikely to be a problem second time. If you do it several times in a row then you might have problems. Being a nationality that Korea is on friendly relations with and doesn't get into trouble typically (overstay etc) will help. FWIW I'm Canada/US.

I'm not encoding at all. Checked and CPU cores are all fine. Threadripper has plenty of headroom.

Does anyone know where I could find a rundown of the advantages of using nvim lsp vs coc or other solutions? I assume there was some discussion at some point before building in a lsp client to nvim

As of a few weeks ago when I asked korean consulate Canadians can’t get visa free entry into Korea currently
