@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

@NekoEd well it's running 8.1 passably at the moment & I didn't think 10 was much heavier?

@NekoEd 2GB RAM 64GB storage (currently split with android so windows has 32)

You and me both

god I actually did some web dev on this thing on the Windows side at one point? on this pissy 10 inch atom machine with a pissy bluetooth keyboard and mouse attached? i could never do that today. i need my 2 big monitors. i have become weak and decadent

@NekoEd tbh though according to what i've seen on forums Win 10 should work, they even shipped it on later units - apparently it only needs some Intel drivers

@NekoEd what about gay Linux

found my old tablet & had the idea of using it as a music player or something - its an x86 based thing that currently dual boots Android 4.4 and Windows 8.1, but honestly the Android side is so old as to be useless, can't install shit for apps on it
I found there is an Android 5 rom kicking around but is it even worth installing that? or should I just maybe try and repartition the whole thing and stick Windows 10 on it?

I think I might buy this. Some might say I've bought too many freakin shmups lately but whatever

It's got one of those space manbows I've heard so much about

She talks a lot

I'm playing this demo. It's fun! There's a space kitty

installed it on my phone and it mostly went off pretty well but there is one (1) highly visible speck of dust right in the middle which will bug me for the rest of my life
