  • I don’t know, maybe there’s a healthy medium? My home computing is still very personal.

    I will hang out on IRC with friends, while I hack away on my low-tech coding projects in the background.

    My smart phone is primarily used for comms and navigation, and I’m not stuck to it out in public.

    I refuse a smart home, and the only mindless automation I take part in is dedicated to movies and TV.

    Circling back around, I do feel like not all hope is currently lost.














  • I can confirm that the one I used 3 years ago could stream Netflix and HBO from browser, no problem. It also handled local files in VLC like a champ.

    I even installed Steam and played a handful of non-resource-intensive games on it.

    I’d buy another in a heartbeat for use as media rig. This time I’d install barebones Debian on it, instead of med-weight MX like I did prior. It’d probably perform even better.
