sebthomason Consider a Dell Optiplex FX160 Instead of a Raspberry Pi

Hey thanks for the tip. I've been thinking of setting up little media station thing...getting tired of using my mac keyboard as a remote..

I have a question.. for anybody, what is the difference between using a PC as media server as OP describes, or using a little Android box thing like the Mi, or something like Apple TV?

Basically I have a MBP, and I'll be getting a TV soon, and I want to be able to easily watch dls on the TV, using a remote. And I'd prefer not to have my laptop doing the grunt work.

Any opinions/explanations appreciated! ta

Sounds like a lot of Trumpisms.

And lots of obvious things only a dim egotist would consider to be revelations worth collecting into a manifesto.

"... if a billionaire loses $200 million he will probably be unhappy, while if someone who is worth $10,000 unexpectedly gets another $2,000, he will probably be happy".

woah, fark, really?
