TV vs. computer w/ internet

Don't get me wrong, I like to casually watch TV from time to time, although not as much as I used to. But it's not the same anymore...

 I use my old CRT TV (with a DVD player) for watching DVDs and as a monitor, but that's about it. When I use my computer, I have control over what I do (even though Windows 11 is crap). But I can do so much more: I can run my emulators, play games, watch the videos I want, listen to music, mess around in Photoshop, and of course, use the Internet.

 I use Vivaldi Browser, which is Chromium based, but offers a lot of customization. Sometimes I use Firefox and Palemoon, but those are for different tasks. I also have a VM set up running Windows XP.


 Mounting old software ISOs is also very entertaining and I get to use some interesting software. One of them is the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary - 3rd Edition.

[Use WinCDEmu to mount it]


I also got Theme Hospital to play, but I got it with a MS-DOS emulator. This website rocks in terms or old games: https://gamesnostalgia.com

Some people should stop nagging me about this. I actually do interesting things instead of just mindlessly staring at the TV or spending all day on TikTok (I don't have an account, so it's not a problem).
