Three hours or so of faffing and I've managed to get it mostly working.
Turned the Steam Machine to the beta stream, deleted all network config, turned a "Force Supplicant" mode off. Dunno what turned it on.
Lots of rebooting and retrying and re-configuring.
Was hoping this machine/VR-headset might be something I could recommend to non-techy family but this is far too shoddy.
I have successfully used the dongle to stream No Man's Sky a couple of times, and it seems to reboot now into a working state.
It's not really massively better than just streaming over the normal house wifi where the repeater is in line-of-sight anyway. Weird seeing mpeg compression artifacts in your peripheral vision isn't it.
Seems to crash within 30 minutes or so of No Man's Sky play so far. Might be the game's fault rather than the streaming combinations. Stays crashed somehow even after alt-f4 closing it. Have to reboot.
Anyway. Process but still feels shonky and no way I can recommend this to newbies or the less technically proficient.
Battery needs a recharge now anyway.

I’m much happier with AeS than I expected to be but if the polls had been true, McMorrow might have had better funding and could have won in a 3-way. And there would be a different bete noire for the Fash to wave in front of their marks.

Geen verrassing maar stof tot nadenken, "We show that AI-generated article reviews are now better, by every measure we could construct, than reviews written by well-compensated human experts and judged to be of unusually high quality by journal editors and authors."

Feeling ways better already. But it might be smarter, not to do a big tour tomorrow. šŸ¤”
The question is... What could / should I do...

Content warning: re: UKPol Holborn

Thing is, the commentariat are used to the idea that if there's a policy they don't like they can campaign to get the leader changed and then the new leader will change the policy.
But the Green Party doesn't work like that. Zack didn't write the policy, would have voted against it if he wasn't busy, and a new leader can't change it any more easily than Zack can.
The job is spokesman, not chieftain.
There'll be a leadership election soon anyway, has to be one, my guess is Zack will win again. If someone better stands I'll vote for them but I'm not aware of anyone that could be.
