Replacing Sky / Virgin media with a Freeview recorder. Looking good so far, it integrates well with all the catch-up setvices, and a software update just added YouTube. #manhattant4r #cordcutting #freeview

Plex and stremio on Steamdeck because why not -

Install from the discover menu in desktop mode,
add as non steam game into the steam library,

Switch back to game mode and there's already a community layout ready !

Old 2009 MacBook Pro getting a new life with Linux Mint (Mate)

Core2Duo 8GB RAM / 120GB SSD is still a capable machine but too old for MacOS #linuxmint
