Damn, sorry to hear that, my experience with the 480 was really good. Admittedly AMD wasn’t quite caught up yet with hardware video encoding at the time that card was designed (basically a reskinned 480). Specifically, hardware video encoding has gotten drastically better since then on AMD cards.

That display out will be hard to match with an old optiplex or laptop, but I agree, the pricing is getting less absurdly low and more just moderately low.

There are different reasons to support alternative browsers. While Firefox on IOS definitely does ad and tracker blocking (which is great!) Some people are concerned that the underlying engine is restricted on IOS to webkit. So it may very well be a better experience for you than safari, but that alone does not satisfy concerns of homogenization in the browser space on Apple devices.

Yes! Glad to see that others have an eye on this. This is made by the developers of Craftopia, and if you’ve seen that game, you’d have no doubts that they will at least try desperately to make the promised features work. It isn’t unlikely that it will be a technical disaster, but I’m sure it will be fun.

Do we have any reason to believe that it isn’t? Generally I don’t know if Apple has lied about what data is local before.
