It probably just needs some more RAM installed.

Your data is worth a lot more to microsoft than the license fee.

If you have sonarr and radarr setup, then you would probably want to use autobrr instead of autodl-irssi since they work well together. They both watch the IRC announce channel from the tracker so the torrent is loaded within a few seconds of being uploaded. Sonarr and radarr on their own are too slow to get into the initial swarm.

You just set filters and autodl-irssi will download anything new that matches the filters.

Popular TV shows usually get over 10:1 on TL within an hour if you use autodl-irssi to download them the second they are added.

Don’t forget that you can host your own DNS resolver instead of relying on public DNS servers.

Yeah, if it requires kernel level access, I consider it malware. Not all anti cheat requires a rootkit and some even works on wine when the game developers allow it. It’s still not good for privacy, but at least you can play the game from a user account with limited access and keep your data safe.

Watch for thin clients too. You can install Linux on some of them and use them as a normal PC. They will have more processing power than a cheap SBC.

It’s broken because of anti cheat. I believe it’s possible to use the android version though.

If it can’t own my media, I’m certainly not going to pay for it.

Play around in a virtual machine so you don’t have to worry about messing anything up. Start with the basics such as navigating through directories and creating, editing, and moving files. If you break something, just restore a snapshot.

The maximum real world speed for USB 2 is around 320Mbps or 40MB/s, but that only happens if there is only one device connected to the USB controller. 30MB/s is much more typical.

You typically only have issues if you want to use a newly released card with a distro that doesn’t run a recent kernel or if you want to use GPU compute.

It should be able to run games that support ARM. That means you are pretty much limited to open source games. The CPU clock speed is fairly low, so don’t expect great performance. These systems are intended for heavily multithreaded workloads.

Keeping data centers cool is hard enough on earth. It would be completely impractical in space.

It’s probably best to try that with a live CD.

A Thinkpad T480 would meet those requirements. Stick with the i5 version with integrated graphics to avoid overheating issues.

If you’re using windows, make sure you set it to show file extensions. Watch out for files with a double extension such as “mkv.exe”. That’s guaranteed to be malware. Don’t open any link, bat or com files either.

Minecraft runs natively on Linux, so it won’t take them long to figure that out.

Wow, I didn’t realize the windows tax was that high. I thought the bulk OEM licensing was significantly cheaper than the retail price.
