@mavica_again god I wish but it definitely doesn't

Amazon US really turns up the good stuff sometimes. This is a plug n play famiclone in the shape of a boombox https://www.amazon.com/Output-Classic-Controllers-Birthday-Children/dp/B0CCYM39D1/

@revenant i'm so sorry for your loss :(

need a micro usb otg adapter and i know i have one but i also know it'll be much easier to buy another one on ebay than actually find the fucking thing

@NekoEd oh maybe that's why it shipped with 32-bit 8.1 then? Didn't realise that made a difference

@mavica_again i used to get up in arms about that shit a lot when i was still attempting to be a graphic designer. my arms are tired now

check out this fox I saw on the television

@Rib standard case of out of touch execs i suppose. we have to Protect Our Shit, because, well, we just have to

and even if the streaming services themselves see sense, they still have to deal with the studios licensing content to them insisting on DRM as well

@Rib couldn't find anything definite but it seems like it might be possible to get an older version of netflix working? but i'm not a fan of these kinds of workarounds tbh, theyre rarely very sustainable, at least in a browser on windows it'll work and be supported for the foreseeable future

it is a shitty situation overall though yeah, its all done for DRM reasons but pirates still manage to rip every show anyway, it just inconveniences legit users and ironically drives them to piracy

@Rib tbh the main thing keeping Windows in consideration for me now is the netflix factor, if i'm gonna use this as a media player i'd probably want to use mainstream streaming services which are notoriously picky about what OS & HW they support for their android apps so probably would be a no-go on some open source android fork on a weird old tablet... whereas in Windows I can just stream any of them in HD from a browser no problem

@Rib oh interesting! didn't even know those existed 🤔🤔🤔
Suppose I might even be able to keep the dual boot setup with bliss and Windows or maybe I could just fuck off windows entirely
