I got this on sale, because I liked the original games premise but didn't want to buy a MP-only game. I've yet to play it though. XD I hope it lives up to expecations.

Dual cores can be fine if they have the necessary support for the features that the software asks for, like h.264 decoding for video calls. I worked in a charity that gave out repurporsed laptops for vulnerable communities and an 8th Gen Intel works really well for office work. Heck Zoom requests an 8th gen for said background removal.

I disagree, unless it's the modmic, there are enough people who either don't have the space nor want to spend the money to properly place the mic (ie as near their face as possible). I'd rather they use some mediocre headset mic then place something that'd be otherwise decent like a Samson Go on a tiny tripod on the table next to their gaming keyboard, 20-30 cm away from their mouth.

PC38X is a reasonable headset, but I'm guessing Epos wanted higher margins but couldn't get them to stay in the business. As much cachet as the Sennheiser brand might have had, the gaming headset space is pretty competitive and there are plenty of decent headsets for not a lot of money.

Yea, especially if this is a second machine for productivity. The Duo is hard to beat and Lineage will help it lots.

Man, I remember a time when XMPP worked. That was a glorious but short period.

Nice! Don't forget you can program the K9 Pro to match the Anne Pro 2's tap and hold and Magic FN tricks!

No OS updates is one thing, but no security patches is not great. The base Surface Duo can easily do another 2-3 years.

Damn. Get well soon. I hope it doesn't hit you too badly.

Fuck Sierra games, it's why I gave up on them and played only Lucasarts point-and-click adventure games.

Yea, I've been through that, banking apps and payment apps definitely don't like that. When I did that they weren't that well-used, but now I wouldn't go that way.

Another recommendation is Xiaomi's other sub-brand Poco. I noticed the current models sacrifice the camera capabilities with lower spec hardware, but what you get back is usually a better SoC for the price.
