Steam has been the only thing I've tried LAN (other than some early PS4 remote play years ago), so that may be the issue. Geforce Now is probably the best I've tried of the bunch, so I'll give their tools a shot locally next time.
My assumption based the note that Linux Plex servers won't work with Parsec is that the emulation & streaming is done on your local network.
Either way, I've yet to have a suitably positive experience streaming anything interactive on either LAN or WAN. I see the improvements that have been made and many friends swear by it, but it may just be that I'm too sensitive to input lag and even the rarest encode/decode hiccup.
I can only imagine how many battery cycles I've lost to the BigQuery web console, especially the jobs detail views. Safari tends to be pretty great with battery life, but it's no match for that thing.
I saw the headline and immediately realized I've noticed similar oddness in the Atlanta area recently. Glad to hear I'm not alone. So far I've been blaming it on weirdness from my devices roaming between mesh router nodes, but now I'm going to run the test script overnight and see if anything turns up.
