Funny, I’m a Gen X - and I have everything locally stored and with over 400 gb of music commercial free. -I could just put the whole thing on shuffle for the next few years. Still sometimes listen to ad supported Spotify tho as am used to radio.
I remember it too, the dreaded thin clients are coming to kill your desktop. Honestly I’d love it if there was a viable option. You just can’t do it though - look at Stadia. Until graphics can be processed without a local card you’re only catering to net nanny’s and the slightly Amish. Ahhhh Web TV.
I’m not messing with any of these - seems far too much hassle.
I dunno - I’m headed to Snopes to find out
The portions are out of control - one restaurant lunch for me I can make 2 lunches out of. We are trained to eat too much.
Temu will save us all with 3rd party Chinese parts that are cheaper and only slightly buggier and no docs. I’m ready for the fight.
I liken it to the dragon sickness Thorin had, an all consuming greed because you can think of nothing else. Stunted mind syndrome?
Big tech is making wayyyy to much money selling artificially inflated parts and pieces, Some people may buy into a second generation Web TV but gamers and builders won’t. ( I know - I was there 3000 years ago when net nanny’s were buying Web TV and I was selling Packard Bells with 4MB RAM).
Throw the book at 'em!
My mini pc or laptop connected via HDMI to a projector setup makes me more happy every day when I see crap like this. Bonus is you can move it to the patio for outside movie night and it’s a whopping five pounds. Same goes for moving apartments because I’ve always moved too often.
Build your own open WRT router or get one of theirs. It’s the best way to go and you don’t get dragged through the monthly fee wringer for stupid child security or other stuff that is not well designed.
Yeah me too. With all this creative tomfoolery though I can’t imagine it’s helpful to to guys in the trenches coding the thing.
Amen brother. I’m not buying it either if that’s the case. Didn’t say I wouldn’t play it.
When do no evil finally turns to do evil always. I think this leaves the Woz as the only remnant of when tech was the good guy.
I drive a 2013 Miata with 6 speed manual rear wheel drive configuration and it has no tracker and no screen.
They are unbelievably awesome.
They’ve been pushing the thin client for years and it’s never taken off. You and I wouldn’t be the target for this machine and neither would gamers or content creators. This is for business or grandparents.
Exactly like FB changing their algorithm so you no longer see friends life updates at all and now see spam, ai slop, and ads.
This is the most word Spaghetti I’ve seen in ages. You should get back to those meds.
