I have an old asus zenfone 2 with the x86 processor. Has anyone tried turning it into a small server? It runs some whatever old android at this point, and I figure it could still run a thing or two.

I think old school gaming in general was simpler and more enjoyable/to the point. I have most nostalgia for PS1 stuff, but I really like a bit of everything

40GiB of game ROMs of all sorts. A ton of snes/megadrive oldies, some PS1 stuff.

Now I want to expand to Wii and Gamecube…

yes

Are you thinking of a mobile app or something else, like fully separate hardware you’d carry around? Sounds interesting

Not from US. iTunes wasn’t even considered/known as an option here, let alone having people using it.

I say they’ll just know they can’t trust your OS install completely, so it may refuse to serve you HD content, or maybe some banking stuff can fail… some online game may not work, etc.

I haven’t taken time to actually read about it unfortunately, but I feel like this whole TPM thing is just gonna be PC enshittification vector. I wish I’m wrong about this…

Win11 is just win10 with (basically) enforced hardware security TPM. So, you know, websites and shit know your hardware is legit, to check if you’re allowed to play that sweet 4k video you already pay that subscription for.
