Topic: Trump to buy ownership of a network?

Something along the lines of this.  It's got to be Windows, as I want it to play all my file formats, many with subtitle files.  I don't want to get a Chrome Box, just to start finding out it won't do everything I'm used to getting from Windows.

OK, time to show my ignorance...

So, you can hook that critter up through WiFi to display on any flatscreen and a wireless keyboard and do the computer stuff?

 

Seems too simple.   

On another note...

I am working on migrating away from communist supporting skunks like Amazon...and in my morning reading caught this post at WRSA@GAB -

Find a cool product on Amazon?
Find the company web site.
Order directly from the company site (can usually save 10% with direct sale).
Still get product within 8-10 days.
Company avoids losing 25% margin share to Amazon.
You avoid giving money to Jeff Bezos.

Sounds like good advice for all such neerdowells!

Plus, I am looking at going to Proton Plus with the VPN since the latter I am using currently experiences too many drops...a VPN that fails is pretty useless! Unless its my provider being a tool!  But upgrading to Plus regardless and gassing my old socialistmedia hosted emails.  But the latter poses a big logistical problem...what online accounts I need to continue...how long to convert several crap-sited e-mails to one...means logging onto each site I want to retain a relationship with and changing all the profiles...

I'll hook it up to the TV with an HDMI cable, but yes, a computer in every sense.  Except it wouldn't be a gaming rig, with no video card.  Streaming video, playing files, and maybe some internet cruising from the couch.

Styxhexenhammer666 suggests accessing newspaper sites etc. through some archive site. I will look into it.
archive.today  I do no understand it. He said it screws some places out of clicks? I do not understand it.
He is talking about something different here I guess. I will keep my eyes open for it.

I always do price comparison on larger purchases, including direct purchase. I recently bough an electric heater for my garage. Did a ton of research and ultimately bought direct from distributor (made in chy-na unfortunately but an equivalent American made product was not twice but four times the cost).

I'm trying to get my buying done because the wallet snaps shut on the 20th!

That's why I use unsecured debt...if things go teats up...what difference does it make?

Saw at CTH...whatever "it" is appears to be in-progress...
