Sure, but chances are if that’s your use case, you moved to a tablet years ago. Your photo storage is likely Facebook and Google Photos backup.

The casual people doggedly hanging onto PCs likely have some obscure software they need to run on it, either for work or personal use.

As long as the browsers keep getting patches we’re all good.

AND runs all windows programs right out of the box with no faffing about.

The “source control” when I first started was all the code on a shared drive, to check out a file you copied it to your machine, and renamed the extension on the shared drive to your initials.

When somebody edited without doing this there would be full blown meltdowns over lost work.

Those are rookie numbers. I have at least a 35k one somewhere. More than one actually.

People run their businesses on this.

Big purchase. Big screen.

If they can get a version that just runs all Windows programs (not just games) out of the box without user modification then great. I’d consider that to be an actual Windows replacement.

If all you’re running is a browser and some light office suite use then great, Linux can do that now. Otherwise what people saying “just switch to Linux” are really saying is “stop using your PC”.

Android and iOS already replaced Windows for normies.

This sounds like the start of another sovcit “loophole”

Delphi will be back, baby.

I use an Nvidia shield pro.

Certainly handles Jellyfin and Moonlight (for gaming, I could never get Steam Link working smoothly).

I assume there’s a YouTube client you can drop on it but I don’t use YouTube for much because I can’t stand YouTubers.

I do have a double set with original (or as much as you could get) along with the post-prequels completely broken one. I think there was a pre-prequels version as well. But then that is DVD quality, which is getting on a bit.

The likes of Disney+ doesn’t even acknowledge the originals even exist.

Same with their Alien and Aliens versions as well. No director’s cuts at all, which is a shame as I far prefer them. They should have both.

They were course and rough and irritating and got everywhere.

The only way to watch the original Star Wars movies before George completely fucked with them is piracy.

The 4K77, 80 and 83 editions are what you’re after. Enjoy. There are apparently reduced noise versions as well, but I thought it was perfect as is. It’s old. It’s supposed to have noise and grain. The desert scenes in the first one are really noisy and I’m not 100% sure why. Maybe he filmed those on cheaper film stock in smaller cameras, but that’s just a guess.

Apple: Enough!

But you’ll have to buy a whole new laptop when it turns out that was a lie.

I think software was a lot easier to visualise in the past when we had fewer resources.

Stuff like memory becomes almost meaningless when you never really have to worry about it. 64,000 bytes was an amount that made sense to people. You could imagine chunks of it. 64 billion bytes is a nonsense number that people can’t even imagine.

Since it underpins Android, you could argue it’s the most successful OS in general.

RSS is what we had before algorithms that just pick adverts and far right fuckery.

If you’ve never placed too much trust in your sphincter before, you will eventually.

I’d first heard of it yesterday when I saw it recommended here somewhere.

However, I wouldn’t assume maliciousness over incompetence. It is Google after all… Anybody who has ever published anything on there has probably had it removed at some point. There’s so many malicious apps and spurious reports, it could honestly be anything. The smaller your app, the longer it takes for an actual human to get involved and sort it out.
