Any suggestions on the best modern router this will run on?

Even worse. Games with a mysterious auto save “feature” that don’t allow a manual backup save. There’s a special place in hell for those developers.

I got Ferra Torr Mortal Kombat vibes.

If you wanna date the weird horse girl you’ve really gotta commit.

I’ve never understood why it’s so hard to re-purpose an old android phone as a TV streaming box. I have an old One Plus that would blow the Nvidia Shield out of the water but as far as I can tell nothing exists that make that possible. It has HDMI via the USB C port but no way to add a remote and use the TV interface. The ability to sleep when the TVs CEC signal sends a power off command would also be a requirement for me.

That’s because Isreal has been slowly co-opted by xenophobic right wing extramists under the guise of survival.

LG is one of the worst. Only TVs with ROKU are worse for privacy concerns. ROKU, LG and Samsung make Google look good when it comes to invasion of privacy.

I’ve been against the idea of smart TVs from day one. A good panel will easily have a longer life than whatever smart box they shoe horn into TVs now. That’s reason enough to avoid that trap.

Mark my words on this: on top of the privacy invasion Future smart TVs will be designed to slow down to the point of being unusable well before their panels wear out to force upgrades and prevent third party repairs.

As long as MAGA doesn’t blame Trump or the corporations directly then those corporations will continue to raise prices because higher profits are in their best interest.

We need to rename the Statue of Liberty to the Statue of America. In its current state it’s just woke propaganda with a sign actively promoting illegal immigration. It’s downright un-American.

Do you think Jeff Bezos will push his Prime studio to make Homelander a hero now that he’s an ultra right wing supporter?

Wait until they see the spider tank with Will Smith on board. You already know it’s gonna slap.

Gross!!! Let me taste it.

I’ll play them eventually. I will. Stop harassing me!

Do they sell XBox’s there by chance?

This we can agree on.

See the OP’s ending sentence for reference.

No one is shitting on other people’s choices. They are criticizing a major corporations choices to skimp on specs while charging a premium price. Specs that can’t be upgraded and will absolutely lead to a shorter usable life. I find it odd that people get upset about criticism that isn’t aimed at them at all. The only thing I can think is maybe they realize they were ripped off after putting so much money into Apple products and they need to defend their financial decisions. Even then I don’t fully understand. I’ve purchased overpriced junk many times and don’t feel the need to defend the offending company. Maybe it’s because Apple has managed to make their customers feel like they’re in an exclusive club even though everyone uses Apple products these days. A publicly traded company is around to make money and nothing more. They should never be held in reverence.

If you choose to be a weak little quiet corporate Stan then that’s up to you. Apple is well aware that third party apps exist and they’re well aware that machines with less ram will need replaced far sooner than machines with more. RAM is cheap and Apples intigrated memory is no different in the regard. The only reason to use less is planned obsolescence. If you don’t believe that then you’re either Tim Cook or you’re an idiot.
