"Kumbaya my lord "
I mean a few of us are still … Android, Chromecast (Android TV), Google One, Google Suite, Google Mesh, Nest (the few products that remain).
Google is collapsing because we are not the customer they serve (anymore). We are the product.
They have spoiled all the good will their brand has which means they are vulnerable to competition.
There is something about the Palm Pre or Jolla Sailfish OS that was so endearing back then. Devices that support it just don’t exist.
My vote is universal Blue and its spins like Bluefin or Bazzite
Large language models are going to replace search. Naturally concise recommendations are easier for humans to interact with than a swath of web pages. The problem that you get here is this is going to disincentive the creation of new web content outside of the walled gardens we already have. The walls are just going to get higher.
I gotta be honest, I love his deadpan dry ass thumbnails.
Don’t forget about newsgroups (⌐■_■)
Abso lutely. Microsoft and Google basically have a duopoly on corporate email and no one seems to care. I know this does seem relevant but trust me it is.
I think Nintendo is dancing into dangerous territory here. I have a feeling this thing is going to be loaded with anti-features here specifically designed to curtail modding, piracy, and even unlicensed peripherals. The games themselves are going to get HD re-re-eleases and Nintendo will charge you full price again for the moderate upgrade.
My favorite trick to reviving old computers is trying to find ways to get them to run off of solid state storage. It really makes a huge difference. You will be surprised by how much more tolerable classic computers are when you no longer have to deal with slow storage mediums.
Mind you this doesn’t make them modern levels of fast and you no longer get the satisfaction of hearing the hard drive grinding away when you open a window but thems the tradeoffs…sigh…
Correct
I really hate having the taskbar permanently affixed to the bottom of my screen. I’ve had it on the left side for decades now. They are really throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
Someone at Microsoft “Customization is the enemy of progress!”
Jeff Geerling did a whole video about you can just use a professional display. It has the option to install a raspberry pi because it’s meant to be a display for a store window. This would be a good alternative but $$$.

Note: the reason TVs are cheap now is because they collect data about you. Your data is subsidizing the cost. So if that’s the case how much money do they make off you that getting a non smart display costs 4k?
I 'member
Probably not but you can buy digital signage. You will pay upwards of $4k potentially based on your needs.
I think immutability is the point of this particular distribution. There are definitely some kinks but conceptually I really like what they’ve done.
I’m curious, what apps are you having issues with specifically?
10/10 video. She knocked it out of the park.
