  • Kodi/XBMC - a little over 20 years ago I jailbroke my old X-Box gen 1 and after about a week I installed XBMC (X-Box Media Center), which was about 2 years old. I just was looking for a way to save space because I could fit a whole season of a show as AVIs on a single burned DVD and XBMC could be used to play it. 20 years and a name change later it’s still my TV front end. I’ve moved from a jailbroke X-Box to a Linux based media center PC but I still automatically boot to Kodi which plays anything I throw at it, keeps track of all the shows and movies I’ve watched, is front end for playing retro games and spawns Steam if I needed all off MCE remote and a Xbox controller to game with.












  • Honestly The cheapest one is fine. I got ours at K-Mart for $20 about 15 years ago and it great. The one this to look for is make sure the ceramic pot is removable so you can take it out to clean. After that its all bells and whistles your not really going to need.

    Slow cookers are a great poor person’s friend. They’re cheep to buy and run, and slow cooking lets you get the best out of cheap cuts of meat, and if your a vegetarian, slow cooking a big vat of stew or soup and then freezing leftovers is real value.
