Look what new computer is on the market for only $99 and it comes with Win 10 installed!
Quote: Kangaroo Mobile Desktop Computer KJ2B#001-NA Intel Atom X5-Z8500 (1.44 GHz) 2 GB LPDDR3 32 GB eMMC Windows 10 Home
They call it a "mobile desktop," and it looks like a fine machine.

Hi Richard, I just put up an "Insider News" post on another little wonder from NVidia, the Jetson TX1 [^].

Since Win10 costs $100 that's a good deal. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Depends on what you are expecting, I guess. An Atom-based computer is hardly a replacement for your average Intel/AMD desktop.

Absolutely true. But these types of machines are great for specialized tasks!
I have one called Liva that uses the Intel System on Chip, and I have it currently configured as my network router. It blocks all Windows telemetry domains as well as 16 MB of advertising and tracking domains.
I love it.

16 Mb worth of domains?
Where did you get that list from?

I was thinking HTPC as well. If it can handle 1080p, I'm in.

Have you ever tried torturing an egg? It's no yolk! (It's also illegal so we're careful to make payments through a shell company!)

I had to write some scripts (=macro) for a google sheet handling the results of a google form, e.g. I made my first steps into javascript.
I feel dirty now. What language is this ? It leaves you with the sad impression of "ok, it works, but, geeeez..."

Have a look at TypeScript[^]. It's typed javascript that compiles to regular javascript.
I know, a monkey with a dress and lipstick is still a monkey, but you have to look at it from a distance.
And it's actually the brainchild of Anders Hejlsberg, so I believe the monkey even has a wig.

Welcome to the club. The 'ok, it works' feeling will quickly pass once you get to know it closer and then you will feel really dirty.
I have no idea what kind of masochist would want to do more than some trivial scripting on a website with it.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
