https://www.playstation.com/en-us/remote-play/ I don't know about connecting it to an Alexa though - not sure what the point would be if his primary purpose is to play video games. You could check his computer if you have that capability for PS Remote Play. If he has an apple computer, just do CMD+Spacebar to open up Spotlight Search and type in "PS Remote Play". On windows, just click the windows key, and search for it. If it's installed, it should pop up. He could be using his phone or tablet to do this also edit: Sorry Steph, didn't read your post thoroughly - so no other electronic devices besides Alexa? It appears he could connect it to a PS4, but it's not exactly simple - looks like it'd require an additional hub. https://www.soundspod.com/connect-ps...ne-with-alexa/ |

He needs it to be plugged it so he can turn it on especially if he's using remote play. There is a device called backbone where he can play his consoles games straight from his phone as long as the device is plugged in.

Ok, but what about if he didn’t have his cell phone? It has to be turned it at bedtime, but staff could hear controller clicks and a back and forth conversation coming from his room. Is there another device he could be using to access remote play? I thought maybe he had a projector we didn’t know about but there weren’t any hdmi cables or anything attached, only the power cord. This is driving me nuts!

https://www.google.com/search?client...7zM&lnspr=W10= Look for one of these devices or just take the power cord from his console so he can't turn it on. All he needs for it is to be in rest mode and he can use it.

An update - I finally had a day free to tackle the corrupted Linux filesystem. I attempted to restore a system snapshot using the TimeShift utility but sadly the root system file ownership error persisted, so I was forced to wipe the drive and start from scratch.
Thankfully I had hundreds of pages of notes from my last system build so I was able to follow my process guide troubleshooting various new version bugs along the way. In 4 hours' time I had restored all my applications and their respective configurations. It then just took the rest of the day to re-index my media server. So far... so good.

Well-done! The Optiplexes were my last international corporation's go-to machines to deploy en masse. Stable hardware with fairly reliable support and warranty policies.
It should serve you well!

Sweet machine. What did it set you back? Dell are very very expensive here. I considered one of their machines before buying mine, but there was like a four-month wait or something so I said sod that and went with a refurb.
