      browsers are not the only way to watch YouTube … mpv is older than most of his machines ;)

      but yeah - i get the point

      nevertheless there is a lot you can do with aged hardware - there are lots of desktops/windowmanagers which will happily run as well

        mpv is older than most of his machines ;)

        As someone who first started to load programs into his computer with a cassette tape recorder, I’m aware of that.

        browsers are not the only way to watch YouTube

        Between that and apps on a phone, nothing else comes even close in the percentage of usage for viewing a video on the internet.

        but yeah - i get the point

        Thanks. ]:D

          so you’re older than his machines as well … see - they are not that(!) old ;) :D :D

          i love my thinkpad x1 3rd gen and wouldn’t swap it for anything until it crumbles to dust :D
