do people actually buy those? I honestly thought they were some kind of money laundering thing. I've never once saw one sell.

If using era-appropriate hardware, I wonder if you could use archived Kubuntu repos to upgrade one at a time until it's a modern Linux kernel.

I've been holding onto OG Lawnchair faaaar too long. I wish the updated version would land on official F-Droid already.

I don't know if it changed, but when I started looking around to replace my set about 2 years ago, it was a nightmare of marketing "gotcha"s.

Some TVs were advertising 240fps, but only had 60fps panels with special tricks to double framerate twice or something silly. Other TVs offered 120fps, but only on one HDMI port. More TVs wouldn't work without internet. Even more had shoddy UIs that were confusing to navigate and did stuff like default to their own proprietary software showing Fox News on every boot (Samsung). I gave up when I found out that most of them had abysmal latency since they all had crappy software running that messed with color values for no reason. So I just went and bought the cheapest TV at a bargain overstock store. Days of shopping time wasted, and a customer lost.

If I were shown something that advertised with 8K at that point, I'd have laughed and said it was obviously a marketing lie like everything else I encountered.

Wasn't always the case (I think it changed within the past two years), but upon doing research on when it changed I stumbled on this gem.

I'm pretty sure that was implemented a while ago. My install of VLC from F-Droid started showing up in Play Store's update list.

It couldn't update since the signature didn't match, but Google knew about it and included it anyway.

PSP's store closed a looooooong time ago. Used to be that you could purchase stuff from the PS3's store and use a USB cable to transfer the license, but after Sony enabled 2FA that route closed as well.

The first thing I did when I migrated was look for foobar2000, as I knew it rivaled Winamp in compatibility. Couldn't find a Linux client. Only Windows/Mac. Unfortunately it looks like Audio Overload went Mac only, but the legacy 2.0 version is still available for Linux so I might give that a try.

A combination of PSF/NSF/2SF/USF, various PCM streams, along with stuff like VGM, GBS and SPC.

Winamp. It's the only audio software that supports tons of game audio formats.

I got it running in WINE, but file association has been a pain and every single time WINE launches my system locks up for a good 30 seconds.

I wonder if there is anybody out there insane enough to make a project like FreeDOOM.
