Yeah I'm gonna be completely honest, Steam has pretty garbage info related to this considering how well it seems to work for me. They should really make it more obvious.

As long as Steam is running and signed in on your PC, after you first set things up, you should be able to pull up the Steam Link app on your phone, TV, etc and connect to your PC. They have to be on the same network until 1st time setup, then you can connect from anywhere.

I think there are some "home streaming" options in the Steam settings that let you set things like "boot to desktop/steam/Big Picture" so you can set it up how you want.

If you're trying to run it off wifi it might not be great (it'll definitely still work), but I've had good luck on a wired connection.

Not necessarily just steam games. I use the Steam Link app on my home TV connected via Ethernet, and you can boot straight into your desktop. Theoretically I could play or do anything I wanted as if it were my main desktop if I plugged in a mouse and keyboard.

Dominant personalities and work styles almost always make it up to management.

That's what people have been saying about every step of the musk acquisition process and yet still people use Twitter. Thinking back to the Facebook privacy controversy years back, everybody still uses Facebook. There can be an infinite amount of red flags and warnings, but these websites are such a huge part of some people's lives that none of it matters to them, unfortunately.

This is the same issue the LGBT community suffers from, as well as people of color, people with accents, etc. People always find ways to make themselves feel superior to others by pointing out something different. You choosing to wear a mask just makes those kinds of people laugh because they either 1. Feel better than you for not wearing masks or 2. They are uneducated/ignorant and follow others' opinions without question.

I suppose the only way to turn it back around on them would be to try scaring them by saying you have something contagious like strep throat, or worse, so they'll shut up and leave you alone. Otherwise my only other advice would be to just do your best to not engage with these types of people.
