    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

      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
