Wait till the EU battery replacement law kicks in. Kind of no need to upgrade then unless you crack the screen.

Difference between my Samsung s9+ and Samsung s21 is minimal.

My setup is two laptops (home and work) but 90% of the time they are just used connected via usb-c to my desk in the front room.

Pull out one wire and swap between work and home setup.

Thanks for the info. Wanted to try it for ages.

Currently using poweramp.

Dispointed though, I use exactly the same music set stored on my phone and also on nas drive. Yet sorting doesnt always put the album together and the search doesn't find all of the artists songs.

Sticking to poweramp.

Yeah noticed that too, bad storms in the area I heard. Satalite connection issues.

Only tracker I've ever been banned from. Got the mame roms, left 24/7 seeding but banned before I had chance to even seed back.

This is what I do. Plex server with storage at home and brother just connects via his app built into his TV. They just text if they want a certain movie or TV show and I add it.

I wouldn't pay that out of principle.

I've got a wyse 3040 with Ubuntu 22.04 lts running 24/7 just running pihole to block network adverts.

Then a wyse 5070 with a 256gb m2 ssd using windows 10 for my plex server and transferring files from my seedbox

Both work great with zero issues. Both in the frontroom and as no fans in them totally silent.

I was tempted to use one for emulation but don't really need anything my current rasp pi 4 can do.

The system is screwed for sure. I've not been with Virgin for around 9 years yet last week got an email to my Gmail account from Virgin saying there was email issues.

Even listed my old Virgin details on it.

Hardware wise the orange pis are fine. I used one for years as a retro gaming machine. Then changed it to a NAS server for about 2 years and never had problem.

I used to play the acorn archemedes demo version of this for hours. Could never afford the full version.

By time I had a full time job the computer was dead.

The ps1 version was terrible, wish I never brought it.
