Been trying to do that with my fire 8 for years.
It's been passed around to a couple of gurus, still a fire 8.
A friend gave me a 2024 fire 10. Gave it back to her for donation somewhere else. Won't see my sd card with my 80G library again. For the third time in 5 months
Pulled the sd card and it will go in the jar with the rest until I buy an android tablet I can root. Later this month.
Both kindles are headed for Goodwill.
I obviously won't miss them.
Because an independent encryption program makes Bitlocker look bad.
Add to it that Microsoft don't want anyone to use something more secure than Bitlocker.
Everyone is curious what they were really after sending in actual people instead of drones to being with. Stealing uranium stockpiles seems to be the current running theory, and hence why the C-130 was there and lost.
By "everyone" I assume you're referring to "conspiracy theorists?" Humans were there because the only thing that can actually secure an area are boots on the ground. The C-130s were there to bring the MH-6s. This is pretty simple, and in order to complicate it you have to really want it to be something else.
Mx25 Infinity on my 2008 hp G62 laptop. (Whoops, using xfce with gnome fork). Acting as a kodi server.
antiX26 on my i7 laptop. zzzICE wm. Daily driver.
PIOS on my pi3b. Xfce, jellyfin server.
All idle at less than 800mb. The jellyfin server doesn't have to do transcoding, serves up three streams at a time.
The kodi box is also the backup dev box, but with 8G of ram, I've never seen it at 50 percent.
The i7 is new as of 2 months ago. It's just shit fast compared to my usual. I'm still trying to catch up.
All of these Debian OS derivatives/compatibles I have run successfully and usefully from a 4G thumb drive.
I also ran Mx23.1 (wildflower) on the pi3b for about 8 months. Used it as my first kodi server. Functioned adequately if not spectacularly, and this is on 1G.
All run firefox as the default I believe.
Low memory options are out there and fun to use.
This is why almost every platform for Internet services DOES NOT USE Microsoft software.
This is just plain not true. Microsoft has about 1/4 of the global cloud computing market and, if nothing else, the number of things that just use Entra for auth is insane. I'm not suggesting this is a good thing, I'm just saying your claim that Microsoft is some kind of edge case in "internet service" is ridiculous.
Given that Windows now need 16GB of RAM to work well then I see that the answer in 'NO'.
That was enough when I used one of the first Slackware versions in the early 1990s
Might cost 50 cents to make the chip, but then you have to cover for all the development costs and packaging into a useful package that fits into a socket.
Add some profit on that in order to make the shareholders happy and to cover costs for the next generation and the $700 price tag might be a bit on the high side, but not horrible.
Add to it that not all the chips made are fully functional so there are some losses there too.
The private companies — some with ties to the military — are marketing detailed intelligence on movements of U.S. forces, even as Beijing seeks to keep its distance.
That IT department is today located in a low pay country and anyone that has worked there for more than 12 months is defined as Senior. Some of the people there are there just for a few weeks and don't know what icy roads are.
And all the new web app versions eats memory like a starved hog. 8GB isn't enough 640GB might be enough to solve your problems for this generation.
Take everything in stride. Trample anyone who gets in your way.
