If you're not doing stuff with them; not much point.

Since these devices have ARM processors, they can be embedded to places that doesn't need high power and contain smaller volume; unlike PCs. You can host your a Jellyfin server on one, host a pi-hole so that you filter out every internet traffic from ads on another. Maybe a small FTP server that you can use as cloud storage?

I've been using Linux on my laptop for years; I use i3wm that makes using it way easier than anything Windows can provide; but on my desktop pc I have too many stuff installed that I can't be bothered to migrate all to Linux.

Honest opinion: Gameplay mechanics are really interesting, visuals are quite good. If you ever wanted a "pokemon but without keeping it kids friendly" game, this might scratch that itch just fine.

I didn't got deep into this game, but it has a noticable lack of direction. The game doesn't tell you what to do aside from the basic base building; but I like it.

Oh also, it's quite buggy in this state and crashed occasionally; so you might want to give it a few more updates before buying if you dislike that.

PS3 is also by far the coolest console to cfw. Being able to run and backup all my PS1/PS2 games and my Blu-Rays; FTP support so you can send and recieve files from LAN is really cool.

Wasn't this game released before and pulled back? I swear the visuals look unbelievably familiar

Look up compression methods, work out which would work best for your needs. Maybe re-encode your video files with H.265 which offers lower filesize for similar quality, or decrease the frame rate of the video files.

Similar to what happened to Netflix, competing services will harm this process. Currently the most comparable to old Netflix is the Xbox Game Pass; which if companies like EA and Ubisoft pulled their games from; it would be way less prefered.

As the profits that come to these companies decrease, they'll be more tempted to focus more on their own subsctiption platforms. Game industry has this trick up its sleeve that some games can be played 1000s of hours, but even adding games of this nature; satisfying every player with a single subscription service is impossible.
