Walmart sells the onn android tv sticks for $15 you can customize them and change the font end so that it’s just a few apps that are easy to navigate to.

You can also get a faraday bag.

I’ve used cheaper thin clients in the past. You can get them much cheaper than $50 and they come ready to go with storage, power supply, and case.

The price didn’t go down, he’s factoring in current ram prices. $250 for an rpi 5 is wild.

In the past the issue has been limited storage for newer versions and possibly ram. It should list those specs on the open wrt site.

I run dullsters.net which is sort of a single user instance. Nobody else can make accounts it’s strictly for one community.

If you need necessities then there’s ‘buy nothing’ groups where people will gift you stuff. Like if you need a new toaster or coffee maker or whatever someone will give you one. Thrift stores have gotten massively greedy in the past few years with prices close to what a new one would cost.

It helps if you tell other people about why they should boycott. It doesn’t have to be perfect, but if you can avoid certain companies it does help.

The people and businesses who fund the political candidates, capitulate, or otherwise support facism. Stop buying from Walmart, target, home Depot, Amazon, Tesla, u-line, etc. buy things second hand and pay with cash. Stop using traditional social media (already here) It doesn’t have to be perfect, but do your best to be mindful of who you’re buying from.

Nintendo DS lite is cheap and good. You can get them from Japan off of eBay and get colors that are Japan exclusive. Sometimes you can buy them as ‘not working’ and it just needs a battery or just the buttons need to be cleaned. Just don’t buy one that needs a new top screen as they’re hard to replace and cost too much compared to just buying a different one. You can get flash carts for them for cheap and load every game onto an SD card.

One thing I’ve run into is not performance with old hardware but missing features from the CPU/GPU. Think of tpm 2.0 requirements for Windows 11. There’s other obscure instruction sets that newer games and programs require such as resizeable bar if you want to run a local llm.

The government already knows where most of these people are. They’re just grifting and terrorizing people.

Everything is a special model these days which makes the price higher. You don’t see mid range, average cars anymore.

At the time it would have been worth it to pick up a lot of games over an expensive pc. I’m not sure I would go out of my way to buy one today since most of the good games are on pc and can play on a pc without a gpu. If you find one for $20 at a garage sale then I would probably get it if you’re into collecting games.

I’m so glad that he showed some games that aren’t shooters/sports or pc games. I found there’s a combo Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts / Viva Pinata that I decided to pick up. I’ve had a 360 collecting dust that I picked up cheap years ago and never really played it. I’ll probably pick up a few more games for it if I find them for cheap.
