i don't own a 'device' to use for this. i don't even want one.
many older ssd are actually better in terms of longevity because slc and mlc typically have/had higher endurance than newer tlc and (especially) qlc.
windows 8 'with bing', and 'starter' editions of earlier versions, are the ones that came to mind.
if microsoft doing stupid shit with windows affected linux adoption rate, we'd all have switched by now.
we've been using prime video quite a bit here with our latest 'trial'. the ux has degraded a lot since the last one we had. they're pushing the paid shit (third-party subs, rentals, 'purchases') way too much on the 'related' and other lists and links. it's gotten so bad, you need to use a third-party site just to find the 'free with prime' content, because amazon sure af ain't gonna list it so you can find it easily.
pricing would change, you think they'd let you run 'apps' for free?
they've already done various low-cost or no-cost (to the oem) windows editions that you can't change wallpaper, or default search engine, stripped out utility programs included in 'regular' editions, and even one that limited multitasking, disabled some network functions, and had hard limits on ram and total disk space.
the last one you "buy", anyway.
they've been wanting to do a subscription windows since they did some limited testing of the concept back with win7.
so can 8am to 9pm
haven't heard these since grade school.
