HD audio pass through ended up being reason I went with the shield pro. But it’s not “cheap” at ~$200 per unit. I still think that’s cheaper than a dedicated mini PC or something though (was really the only other option I saw for TrueHD).
Nvidia shields with an alternate home screen have been a good solution for me? TV isn’t connected to the network directly, just to the shield.
I’ve got RetroArch, Plex, Spotify on each of them - that sort of stuff.
Fuck everything about Microsoft products. The different licenses are a nightmare, the programs are shit, and “FUCK YOU FOR TRYING TO INSTALL A PROGRAM OR USE LOCAL STORAGE” seems to be the default.
Also I don’t trust them not to be spying on users. But sure, every government job I’ve had we used the products.
Don’t get me wrong, I loved them as a kid, and it was a nice way to transition to “adult” books but not really my speed anymore and I imagine if I went back I’d think they were “bad.”
I specifically remember liking Rainbow Six around the same time and I liked his books until he started tag teaming with other authors which was probably around 2000?
Based on that I imagine his books from 1986-2000 are “similar” enough.
I recall liking it, but I read it in like the 5th grade so my standards were low (before that I’d been reading my mom’s terrible ‘caterer turned detective’ novels).
I enjoyed Clancy for a long time after that but at this point I aim more towards militaristic speculative fiction.
Don’t buy Apple?

You rock! Thanks for the link. This is the sort of thing that’d be cool to mirror… Wonder how big it is?
Fuck Nintendo. Come on, someone grab* this pro bono… There has to be some bored, rich af partner out there who wants to tilt at windmills.
I’m aware but from your own link:
Users should not consider SteamOS as a replacement for their desktop operating system.
I was suggesting a desktop replacement OS - something for the ‘normies.’
Fuck Samsung but ValveOS (something aimed at the average user) would be neat to see. At least until Valve goes full on ‘LET’S BE FUCKING EVIL!’
There are already causes of action for this sort of thing - we do not need to try and come up with something new.
Because lawyers are fucking tech stupid and that’s who will be making the decisions.
If a kid is smart enough to figure this out and make it work for them, they’re gonna be fine…
And they should be eaten.
Neat, guess I’m going AMD for my next build.
Oh how I hate Discord.
Oh! Great idea - kid’s computer. I’ll be stealing that for my next project. Thank you!
Some of yall just need to stop with your “cable maintenence” and “airflow” or you’re gonna give the rest of us a complex. 😁
A number of these setups are tight. I’ll post my janky ass “comm closet” when I get home later.
Edit: (1) Fanless MiniPC running pfsense (2.5gbe); (2) 8 port dumb switch; (3) modem; (4) 8 bay NAS running OMV; (5) random USB HDD.
