I would search for another source for that info. The list presented on my example site seemed somewhat anemic...

Thanks, I will take a look around. I understand that all these processes may just be the nature of "doing business with Win10" too. AKA It is what it is.

I'm almost there. I'd like to try some Linux distro running Android Studio, but my SSD is too small for dual boot. Also simpler/smaller distros have gotten larger now too so I'm not sure it would solve my problem. Throwing hardware at the problem is simpler, albeit more expensive.

Why not boot Linux from the CD or an image without installing it, just for a test drive?

Haven't only because of laziness. You've encouraged me to do so now. I think I will try that out and see how it works. If it runs fast enough that way (and there is considerable less RAM used) then I could possibly put off buying new hardware for a while.
Thanks!

Well,
I'm pretty sure that the 0xA01C invented this hexadecimal pronunciation system.

So am I. Very glad! That is just heinous.
In my first job out of school I was programming Allen Bradley PLCs and they used mostly octal to represent values and it was very annoying. Almost every other PLC used hex and eventually AB did too. At least, to the best of my recollection they did. I got out of programming PLCs as soon as I possibly could which was not long after that.
Amusing trivia : I started that job about the same time the IBM PC came out and back then PLCs were called Programmable Controllers or PCs for short. It took a few years to make the full transformation to call them Programmable Logic Controllers since the term PC had become trademarked.

everyone has a smartphone.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

because there is only one remote and you have to fight for it, either resulting in either a divorce or a baby (9 months later).
I'd rather be phishing!

in practice, there's usually like 15 remotes. One for each device.
So whoever can grab the *right one* first wins.

We have a Logitech universal remote - five devices, one remote. Every once in a while, one or more devices get out of sync, but it's easy to recover.

what if you lose it? can you call it?
it's 20-flippin-19
this is a hill i will die on. Smart devices should talk to smart phones, and devices these days should be smart if they cost $100 or more.

can it page the remote? *raises eyebrow* - one of the reasons I've never bought into these things is so many lack a page feature. You'd think for what you'd spend they'd put some thought into that. That's also one of the reasons i like a phone. It makes noise. It can bark or whistle at you.

That's a side rant of mine. DLNA was released in the 1990s.
Devices are just now supporting it over the past decade. 15-20 years is just too long of a turnaround time for tech. Meh.

honey the codewitch wrote: can it page the remote? *raises eyebrow* Not that I'm aware of. It's a non-issue for me. It's only the wife and I and we are both very good at ALWAYS keeping it in one of two or three places.
honey the codewitch wrote: DLNA was released in the 1990s. Ummm... 2004 actually. Regardless, it's been very poorly marketed.

We're not married to our phones like everyone else seems to be. With one exception, I don't have any apps on mine that didn't come with it.
We've never lost a remote, and the Logitech is cheap, so buying another one won't be a problem if we need to do it.

surprised so many other devs aren't with me on this.
filed under "unpopular opinions" i guess.
