If your home server is enough for your needs, then you can use old laptops for thin clients (tv box, audio streaming client, arcade emulation pc, that kind of thing).

You can also divide and conquer the work of your home server, a download and file manager client, a steam-cache server, a cheap backup nas, CCTV server, home-automation stuff.

This is just a few ideas from the top of my head, but the best use I got from old working laptops were to modernize them (new battery, ssd, Linux) and gift them to people who needed them (students, elderly, etc)

After reading all the replies, I’m just here to add:

• Rome
• OZ
• The Wire

And a global mention to 90’s and 00’s Sci-Fi !

Oh yes!

Currently down from 160 to 100kg (350 to 220lbs) and almost everyone is treating me differently. Many people didn’t make eye contact with me either on the street or in shops, some were visibly unconfortable (or slightly afraid). I had remarks all the time about how big (not fat, just imposing) I was.

Now cashers smile at me, people on the street are more friendly. It’s night and day and it saddens me in a way. I didn’t lose weight for appearence reason but for my health, and to see for the first time how people are (were towards me) judgmental is kinda sickening.

I just though people are sometimes a bit cold but never really associated it with my weight.

This was at least true until August 20th, 1909 [source]

I would highly recommend Monument Valley (1,2 and 3 is coming soon) as far as puzzle goes, for a quick arcade fix, I like Breakout 71 (with rogue-lite elements) and all games by Arnold Rauers (Card Crawl being my favorite, but by a small margin).

Here’s a quick selection from the top of my head, if you want I can go throw my app history for a few more :)

A tip I’ve seen online is to keep a gaming journal. After you finish a session, write what you accomplished and what you want to do the next time. Then every time you are a bit bored or have time to kill, look at your journal and flip through your started games. Works like a charm for mr at least.

Oh don’t worry, France isn’t far from the US. Loads of leaders have been judged guilty but they always come out unscathed…

Nice tool, I use a similar one on android to pick a random tv show episode (great for Star trek, stargate, the simpsons, etc). It would be great if there was a rating filter (tmdb for example), because I got some awful movies with Very high popularity…

Lemmy is a federated platform where each instance is run independently but can interact with all the other ones. lemmy.org is such an instance.

Your account is on it (written sulegulmen@lemmy.org) but I (KubrickFR@lemmy.world) can see and reply to your post on the community c/asklemmy (similar to r/something on Reddit)

Hope this is useful, I’m no expert…

I use it for books/movies/music/games recommandations (at least while it isn’t used for ads…). You can ask for an artist similar to X or a short movie in genre X. The more demanding you are the better, like a “funny scifi book in the YA genre with a zero to hero plot”.

Looks to me like America’s brain has been drained enough! :D

If you’re looking for warm and relaxing with a fantasy twist Hogwarts Legacy has a great OST

The first ones that come to mind are : Prototype Infamous Hulk

If you like the flow but it can work without gliding/grapple games with parkour can be up your alley like mirrors edge (catalyst is open world) or dead something (rising, island?)

I recently loved Tinykin for the same movement is fun reason, not really open world but 6-7 big worlds. Ni gliding but lots of movement flow. Another not open world (and not third person) is Titanfall 2, loads of wallrun/jump.
