Incredible. Always good to hear some positivity in the news.

That threw me when I started Guards! Guards!. I generally only have time to read at night and stop at the first chapter break after 11:00. For several nights in a row I was reading until midnight, giving up, then forgetting by the next time. Eventually I checked ahead and realized there weren't any, but a lot of his 'sections' are chapter sized, so it works out.
You could soap the outside, but then the outside monkeys (children) would lick it off...
Plus that Gavin Belson guy keeps trying to jam his horrible signature into his products.
Is it possible to do something like this with a newer router? My wireless-G router is finally dying after 20 years, and if I need to upgrade it'd be nice to wrap it all in one.
I've been curious lately if the original Ape Escape is as good as I remember. I heard the sequels weren't as good, but I have fond memories of the first game on PS1.
This is my exact setup. The upgrade from the smart TV was night and day. Apps load instantly and Jellyfin works great. Most importantly the remote is easy to use and can control the TV.
I can't speak for the desktop side, but for my server it's been running without interruption for years. About once per week I do something stupid and use all available memory, but it hasn't crashed once. It just runs a bit slow until I free up some RAM, then Docker comes back to life once I free up some disk space. I definitely recommend it for anyone who wants a server OS that just works.
"But it wouldn't hit the fan so much if we stopped using Microsoft's half-baked products!"
It always falls on deaf ears. I can't believe how many millions my employer throws at Microsoft every year just to complain about how broken it is.
I got one of these recently and it works well. Much smoother than whatever my Smart TV is natively running and it doesn't crash constantly.
If it were just me I'd have set up a small HTPC with Kodi, but my family needs something that works without ever needing my intervention, and it needs to run the 100 streaming services we hemorrhage money to. These boxes are super cheap and let me run Jellyfin too.

In my opinion this is the biggest shortcoming of the ActivityHub ecosystem. That's not to say it should have been solved by now, since I don't know how to decentralize authentication safely. And after using it for a while I'm not sure I want a single account.
But it is a challenge facing newcomers and those trying to recruit them. This group of services is already tough to explain sometimes, and telling them it all interconnects just muddies the waters when you have to explain that it's not the way they expect.
