I have and old laptop with some good screen but awful audio. What i want is to stream the audio on my decent tablet to use it as a speaker. This is not a server cloud or anything similar, just a pc with some linux distro installed.
The internet you grew up on isn’t dying.
A commercial veneer glued on top of it is.

The Rig, a British series set on a remote oil rig in the North Sea that becomes cut off from the mainland by a mysterious fog. Across its two seasons, The Rig steadily evolves from a tense survival mystery into something much stranger.
Although The Rig doesn’t directly adapt either writer’s work, it captures the essence of what made both H.P. Lovecraft and Stephen King legends of modern fiction. The result is a chilling supernatural thriller that weaponizes its lonely offshore setting and the ancient force hidden beneath the ocean floor, creating a show that feels like the perfect meeting point between the two titans of horror.
Microsoft has quietly retracted its own documentation that suggested 32GB RAM is the “no worries” upgrade for gaming, and 16GB RAM is the baseline. This support document was likely written using a large language model, and Windows Latest first spotted it before it was taken down. Microsoft also nuked a document that recommended Copilot+ PCs for gaming.
Microsoft has a “Learning Center” where it publishes guides and marketing articles to promote various Windows features, and these rank well in search results. It’s mostly used by Microsoft to push a narrative and also make it easier for users to make a choice when they search the web.
In the first week of April, Microsoft quietly published a support document titled “Gaming features: What the best Windows PC gaming systems have in common.”
At first, the document might appear to be about Windows 11’s gaming features, but it goes a step further and builds a narrative around the memory requirement.
In the support document, Microsoft clearly notes that:
“For most players, 16GB RAM is a practical starting point. Moving to 32GB RAM helps if you run Discord, browsers, or streaming tools alongside your games. That extra memory also gives newer titles more breathing room as memory demands continue to rise.” – Microsoft.
“16GB RAM is the baseline; 32GB is the ‘no worries’ upgrade,” the company concluded in the support document, which was first spotted by Windows Latest.
This was later picked up by other outlets and the gaming community, and it didn’t go well with gamers.
