Every year I enjoy the hell out of Left 4 Dead 2 around Halloween. If you guys have never played it, oh you're in for a fun time. Super cheap and runs on a potato at this point if your Xbox brother can find a computer.

Honestly, the apple TV is the least spammy by a long shot. I also hear great things about the Nvidia shield, but it is pretty ancient by now. Or use a computer, but of course that's got its own annoyances. Of course these are all the most expensive options, apparently for a reason.

Yeah 'etc' of course stands for 'et cetera' which implies that's all just a bunch of extra shit, right?

So much this. The whole point is to annihilate entire sectors of decent paying jobs. That's why "AI" is garnering all this investment. Exactly like Theranos. Doesn't matter if their product worked, or made any goddamned sense at all really. Just the very idea of nuking shitloads of salaries is enough to get the investor class to dump billions on the slightest chance of success.

That is an iterative backup of a file within a file system. It is not the same as periodic screenshots.

With every update Windows becomes more annoying.

With every update Linux Mint (and every distro) becomes more refined.

There are still gaps; HDR isn't really there yet, never mind Dolby Vision... but if all you want is a PC that acts right and doesn't piss you off with ads and upsells... honestly, a default Linux Mint install is at least as good as Windows at this point.

Second for Rescuezilla, it's a Clonezilla front end with sane defaults you'd probably pick anyways.
