I thought they were dropping the tpm requirement. I even have a W11 iso at work that doesn’t have it, provided by an official Microsoft partner.

If you want to get good at civ games, you can check Marbozir on youtube. The guy is a genius at it and you quickly pick up the way in which you should think about the strategy and resources. And he’s very entertaining to boot.

Don’t you have issues with banking apps then? It’s the one thing holding me back from switching, but I haven’t really done a deep dive in it.

I don’t really like Gnome as I like to tinker with everything, so I use KDE. I also have a laptop with Cinnamon, which is also pretty good.

I picked up Dave the diver + dlc for something around 18€. Have been playing it all day and can highly recommend it.

My personal favorite will probably always remain the Mass effect trilogy.

I’m in the same camp, although I wish it wasn’t so. I’ve gotten okayish at Rocket League with mouse and keyboard, but that really is a controller game.

So the only mobile game I really play often is Mad Skills BMX 2 which has 0 dark patterns. Yay

Depends a bit where you live, but my guess is on average € 45-50k, with whatever local benefits there are. Which translates to between 3 and 4k a month, depending on whether a 14th month is included. But this can be a lot higher or lower depending on the location.

It’s called Smart YouTube now for Android TV. For phone android there are several options. I like Youtube NewPipe.

I use an HP microserver gen 8, which I bought second hand (300$) and upgraded with a better CPU (20$ from ebay) and extra ram (80$) and 4 2TB SSD’s (100$ per). I installed Windows server on it because I just wanted it to work in a way I’m familiar with, but a colleague of mine installed Synology OS on it. You can use the cd drive bay for the OS disk (with some tweaking). Since you already have the disks, this would fit your budget.

Oh man, I’m on 7.0.58…

I’m upvoting this because it’s hilarious, but on a serious note, installing windows is so easy my granny could do it.

The only thing, and I assume that’s where you struggled, is sometimes the formatting of the hd doesn’t want to work. In that case, a quick google will help you out, but also just format it quickly with diskpart and continue the installation.
