I’ll pass that along to the local IT (I spent the last 40 years in the kitchen instead of in front of a keyboard :( )

I have the Xbox controller hooked up, it works OK, I need to play around more to get the buttons down to what they’re used for. the mouse has issues with connecting but thats the mouse fault.

Its my dedicated TV so no family issues that I can advise on, but the Plax app I use is unavailable but available on the web so zero issues there.
Proton VPN works great with all my ahem totally legitimate sports ball watching need.
…honestly I have very little needs for a multi media box like I used to have on the Xbox, and the only major issue is that I (read: my son) can’t get the printer set up.
- Comment on CD sales are making an unexpected comeback amid a retro tech boom 1 month ago:
LP vinyls are great fun to hunt for a bargain, one of my best finds was a Double Album of Joe Cocker for 8€! Last vacation found Prince’s first album- original pressing, and I didn’t grab, and regret not getting the George Burns album (which would have been an interesting one just for it being unique)
Always go hunting when visiting other cities and on vacations, always fine one or two interesting ones.

- Comment on AI layoffs are looking more and more like corporate fiction that's masking a darker reality, Oxford Economics suggests | Fortune 9 months ago:
Layoffs are only used to prop up quartly/annual profits for shareholders. Period. once that is acheived, the CEO gets his bonus and doesn’t give a fuck if it happens again because if he gets fired he’ll have a golden parachute as well.
