Any domain with "my" in its name is marketroid trash anyhow and should be burned with fire. They also usually tend to be the first ones that get abandoned once the PHBs behind them get captivated by a new squirrel.
(For the pedants out there, that's "my" as the pronoun, not an arbitrary sub-string. Yes, myspace counts.)
Try to see if you can get a "super-basic" tier on the TV. In particular, if you get ESPN and don't watch it, you're being overcharged. The cable companies pay them a lot of money for being a default channel in a "regular" tier. If you watch local channels, try using an antenna, you may even get better picture quality.
You know those silly back-up cameras that cars were required to have (thus increasing the sticker price yet a little more) because a few hundred idiot parents couldn't keep their children from playing behind cars in the driveway? Yeah. The difference is that it doesn't lock you out of driving your car when it fails. We can only hope that sanity will continue to prevail.
Then why don't you make a gaming box that you use for nothing but games? Most games these days want the full screen anyhow, so if you're going to get a second screen to browse web pages while playing a game, why not use a second computer too?
If someone misses out on a "promotion" due to their software not being 110% compatible with strange ancient bugs in Word or Excel, then just maybe they really didn't deserve it after all.
There is in fact a non-Windows version of that. Sorry for it not running on a GPL operating system, but it is a form of Unix. My main problem with Apple these days is the crappy non-repairable hardware they have been making ever since Steve died.
In case you haven't heard, there's a Linux version of OBS. I'm sorry, but you have to do a bit more than double-click an installer to use it. Yes, you actually have to use a command line and type "apt-get" a few times. And holy crap there's even a BSD build, though I'm not sure what runs on BSD that would be worth streaming.
In my case, I'm mostly a Mac guy. I only use Windows 7 for a few games, the main one of which has an official Linux version. So I don't have a bunch of old Windows crap to replace. I'll probably end up using Ubuntu or a derivative, being as close to a "mainstream" distro as you can get for 3rd-party software. (I'm already using Ubuntu for a 4-tuner MythTV box.)
Razer? Then your problem isn't with Linux, it's with Razer going out of their way to require you to use proprietary software that phones home before the device more than barely works, and it only runs on Windows. And they don't even fucking care.
And there he is! There's always that one guy in every article about broadband satellite constellations who doesn't understand that these aren't at geosynchronous altitude.
Good luck getting those ads downloaded (or any sort of proof that they were shown so you can get paid) when I refuse to connect your crappy "smart" TV to my network! You assholes can stick your Brawndo ads where the sun don't shine.
I have more or a problem with the hopping about from place to place in various orbits like you were going out to the Circle K up the street for a soda and snacks, with no respect for the reality of orbital mechanics. Other than that, it's a very pretty bit of total science fantasy. At least the guy who wrote The Martian made an effort to come up with plot problems and solutions that didn't completely ignore laws of physics.
Seriously, though, I'm from the start of GenX, we kids had to wait to even have crappy arcade games at home. I even had a Japanese exchange student try to explain Space Invaders to me back in 1978.
That depends on if the parents got the phone for the kid, or for their own insecurity about not knowing where the kid was every moment of the day. Because cell phones don't keep going for free ya know.
I revolted against the real names requirement they put on YouTube because they wanted to CROSS-LINK ALL THE THINGS, logged out my YT account, and stayed logged out! A year or two ago I finally got my YouTube ID back through their "legacy accounts" page. It had been more than 10 years.

Or even dis-charged.

I don't think Wayland is such a bad thing. But the other two, they're crap. And guess what they have in common? Yeah, it's the P-word.
I also rely on HR Block tax software

Hmm, Lex Luthor vs Tony Stark? This could be a great movie. I better get some popcorn.

At least Boeing has made an actual useful product.

I thought all this started back in the '60s when people didn't want to have to have to pay the phone company for equipment?
It was awesome.

For those who haven't seen it, it is exactly the same as Fortnite, but with a slightly older target demographic.
So in other words, the very same kids who were playing Fartnite last year?
Seconded! The best way to be a hero is to fight the system... er... DEE!
Nigel? Is that you?
I'm sure China will be happy to produce "mis-calibrated" rulers.
