I dunno - I’m headed to Snopes to find out

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).

Thanks! appreciate it.

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.

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.

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.

That’s something I have not considered! Who will be the first to make a gaming board that uses HBM ?

This OS is pointless. I have a Motorola Edge. It’s like the OS is written by Google fanbois. Know what would be cool? Something that works on many types of phones.

That’s a truck load of crap. If the real kit is old Soviet kit then you are right.

It’s not that far off. I woke up to an Internet outage and none of my home lighting routines fired off and I couldn’t control my lights via wifi. I got it under control shifting to Bluetooth but for a second it was infuriating.

Amen to that brother. It was simple and we screwed it.

There’s a small amount of resistance in rural Tennessee but the general population is hypnotized by fox news.

The “law” is being ignored as it was in pre- Nazi Germany when the brown shirts started arresting and beating and intimidating people. There is no law currently.

Was that settled or is it in challenge status? I’ve seen no rebate of tarriffs going to the rich people that didn’t pay them yet.

Yarrrrr me to matey …but not sweating so much. Just torrenting

The use of the word “nasty” . I mean when do intelligent people say that? When’s the last time anyone reading this post said " that salesperson is nasty" or " that price point is nasty"? Five year olds say shit like that …Trump has dragged down language for the dumber half of the country and now they all have poopy pants. Freaking grow the hell up and get some eloquence in your conversation. /Rant
