I don’t quite understand the criticism. It’s not gonna be top of the line, but it’s more than enough to replace my dying laptop from 2015 that I pretty much only ever use like a desktop anyway. And I can save myself the time and effort of picking parts, building, and dealing with shit not working as expected.


I’m 1000% certain you could attach a Blu-Ray drive via USB without internet telemetry, unlike Sony’s policies ;)
Edit: fixed rogue “care of” character, will contact GrapheneOS team lol
Surely you mean 1000‰ (1000 per mille), not care of. How did you type that, anyway?!
Wow, I just realized that’s the default key on GrapheneOS lol, I should file a bug report.
The idea did occur to me a minute after I’d commented. After my PS4 gives up, I’ll have choices to make.
The DRM measures of blurays make a hassle to play any legitimately purchased movie, especially 4k ones, a big hassle on any operating system. Not as plug and play like with DVDs…
I don’t want to rip them before watching them or search hours in obscure forums for a leaked description key…
MakeMKV thankfully exists, though 4k is a hassle even with that.
This would be more useful for game ripping - did that for a lot of my PS3 games due to the large filesizes.
