How did xbox get here

qdoggie

I read xbox the first three times I saw the title on the previous one, and was confused 15 minutes into the video when there was no xbox in sight, then I figured it out.

You missed the chance to put the „two of them“ cats at the 1 hr mark with the two USB 3 ports.

Also the xbox typo made me think you now included a comparison to the xbox 360 as a HTPC to the two. The only plus point I can think of now to using one of these vs. a xbox or an PS3 (like you mentioned) would be the ability to play pirated content & Live TV much easier vs. the locked down consoles.

Your tangent about PowerDVD amused me. If you haven't already, I hope at some point you talk about the incomprehensible fiasco that is UHD Blu-ray support. There is *fewer* than one legal way to play those on PC, now that the DRM technology PowerDVD relied on, Intel SGX, is deprecated.

When I saw that big blue ring I realized the box running Home Assistant in my server rack is Zotac zbox ID84 that was gifted to me. Slightly newer CPU than yours, with a GT 520M, but it works great for Home Assistant, even on UPS power.

I guess you could use it for something super simple like pi-hole? The power consumption could be worse.

Damn, I am the rare one who used eSATA! :D In 2010 i got my first notebook, which was a Dell Studio, and it had USB2.0 and esata. In 2011 or 2012 i bought an external HDD enclosure (Delock 42492) which had this combined port, along with eSATAp + USB3.0 cables. It was fast at the time much faster then USB2.0, and neighter had my desktop PC not my laptop USB3.0. It was a great chocie, i still use the external HDD with USB3.0 cables. After i sold my Dell Studio, the new notebook didn't had esatap, just USB3.0, i had the wired cable for years and i think 1-2 years before a had thrown it out. Also in Europe, there was a high-end satellite receiver called Dreambox, and the early HD models (like DM800) had only DVI as digital out, no HDMI. Also some first HD-ready LCD TV/TV-monitors had DVI input.

Power DVD is such trash, yeah. I got a used internal BD drive a couple years ago which obviously didn't come with any software included. So I opted to use the trail version of Power DVD. Funny thing is, my second monitor at the time wasn't HDCP compatible, so power DVD just stopped working as soon as I moved the windows over to that monitor. Somehow it would still work if you move the window in between the monitors so you could just get around HDCP it by recording one half of the video on that non compatible monitor, then the other half by rearranging the monitors and combine them in post. Not that I did that of course, I just wanted to watch my dang discs the least illegal way.

never felt so thankful to Hardware Video Decoding/Acceleration than with this video

I had a netbopok with an ION 2. I remember performance being bad, but not quite as bad as you had. That system had a Intel atom D525 though I didnt know there was a system that had an amd cpu and ion gpu though, that's cool!

Back in the day, I had a cable box that had a DVI port on it. I guess it was common for more early HD era stuff to have DVI for some reason.

A lot of early HD televisions had DVI before HDMI came out, with the same on HD A/V gear, so a lot of A/V oriented devices rocked a DVI port for backward compatibility for many years.

I had the same Dell E6320 laptop and I added a USB 3.0 port via the ExpressCard slot. It stuck out just a few millimeters but it worked
