They recently cut our cable because it’s no longer included in the rent and I’m not willing to pay extra. I haven’t even noticed.

You can use pretty much any device that runs Android or Linux to run Steam Link. Even something like a Chromecast will do.
My router can limit access time but I’m not sure if it’s on a device by device basis. Might be worth checking.
Here’s a video with some good builds at different price points. That should be a decent starting point.
Well, nobody is forced to use that cesspool of a website.
That’s what they’ve been doing for decades. And unfortunately they’ve been very successful at it.
Here in Germany there are still plenty of independent online retailers and they’re competitive with Amazon. I always try to avoid buying from Amazon and for tech products that’s usually no problem.
Instructions unclear, dick now stuck in computer.
But does it run Doom?
How else would you heat up a huge pile of bricks? This is for industrial applications or grid scale heating systems. They basically all use hot air.
The main advantage of using what is basically dirt is that it’s dirt cheap. You need a metric fuckton of this stuff so the cheaper the material, the better. Also, molten metal is difficult to handle.
Chances are she won’t even notice if you put Linux on her machine. My wife certainly didn’t. I tried to explain the concept of different OSs to her but she didn’t care. The Firefox icon looks a bit different, but that was the only thing she noticed.
I’m a big fan of Mint. It’s great for beginners but also for anyone who just wants to run their PC with minimal hassle. Considering those are pretty low power machines, I’d go for the Xfce editions too. Personally, I think Xfce is a bit sparse but it runs well on older hardware.
There are also a few distros specifically for older hardware, but I don’t have experience with those. I’d suggest starting with Mint and seeing how that goes.
From what I’ve heard that also applies to some South American countries. But in any developed country it’s basically unthinkable to do something like this without getting caught.
Cool. Thanks for the info.
How much did you end up paying? Did you have to pay tax, customs fees etc? $200 sounds almost too good to be true. Do you run Linux on it? Any driver issues? I’m looking for a replacement for my NAS right now. On paper this one looks pretty good.
I’d go with a corporate hand me down just for sustainability. Those tend to be in decent shape and can be had for reasonable prices. Buying second hand is always a bit of a lottery but so is buying chinesium.
People generally recommend 8th gen or higher Intel chips for transcoding so I’d look at alternatives. I have a Dell with an 8th gen i5 and that works very well.
Nobody makes your download any damn app. You can just not do it.
