Figured I'd give an update. I had a Lenovo x220 laying around that I had installed MacOS on. Runs as well as a 2011 MBP. He's been using that for minecraft. I haven't even tried Fortnite on it but maybe I should. Works great for Minecraft though so he's happy.

Re: Happy Birthday MR Forum member pinion - 5 months ago

Thank you everyone! I've been absent and I apologize for saying thank you nearly two months later but better late than never! Solidly in my 40s now doing that daily grind of working and having a bunch of school aged children. Life is good and I hope life is great for all of you as well!

Wow thank you. It seems decent enough but its certainly out of my budget. I'll just have to wait for things to calm down. I should have built when I could have.

Re: "Gaming" PC - 11 months ago

Good point. I found a Switch Lite for $150. Asked if he wanted that and he said he wanted a computer. He's only got about $100 so hr has little options unless I bear the cost.

Excellent suggestions. I'll look around. Thank you both!

My son asked for a computer he can play Fortnite and Minecraft on. I'm thinking an older laptop or anything he can plug into his HDMI TV. I'm sorry for the OT post about a gaming computer but.... here we are.

Secondly, I am being serious. If you take away the things I said at the end of the day you're betting on the speculation of what a companies stock will be.

It dropped like 30%. It was still up 780% on the month when I looked yesterday. also, I'm still confused why people think it's a Ponzi or Pyramid scheme? I get that, unlike, stocks, there is no basis for an actual value since it doesn't have assets like buildings and what not. Other than that isn't it the same as buying stock?

I've been waiting on the TVs that incorporate ATSC 3.0 tuners. There's a few out there now. ATSC 3.0 will bring OTA 4k channels. That said, I'll probably just end up getting an HDhomerun with ATSC 3.0 built in and not worry about it on my TV.

I too would recommend 1Password or something like it. I know 1Password is big on this forum but alternatively I would suggest Bitwarden. From there I would let the password manager generate a unique password for each site. I prefer passphrases eg. it would generate something like "Leaping-couch-aardvark" because then if I really need to memorize something for a certain site at least it'
