XBOX Live! and Direct.

We now have an Xbox one and a new PC. Though if honest we've had the XBOX base unit for ages. We were looking for something on Begay (eBay) and saw a listing for a cheap Xbox One PSU. Coupled with Argos doing cheap wired pads and we now have a working XBOX One unit. If we're honest though it feels a lot like Windows XP era computing, everything that can run from disk needs a massive update to play and that eats into the finite amount of space on disk. Just grateful it runs stuff from disk still. The computer I have from 2016 has finally succumbed to its many cuts. We lost trackpad support a year in, CDrom support a good few years later, along with patchy Wifi despite me being right next to the router. The final straw is losing all audio support. So we're now £550 poorer but now am back to a desktop. A lot has changed in the PC market since them, it seems I've got less for my cash. Everything is running from SSD now at either 256 or 512 GB. Where I had a 2tb rust spinner on the old set up. Memory seems to be set at 8gb with few going over into 16GB. I know processors are faster now but Windows 11 feels like a retard version of MacOS. No I don't want copilot or to set up a Windows Hello key. I certainly don't want bastard cortana or half my tool bar to just be a weather app that when clicked on displays local news. I have a phone that does that, and better. Finally there doesn't seem to be much CFW / hacking activity going on with the XBonio or one. The Original XBOX was the goat for this and with some soldering knowledge you could do 360. Personally I'd love to decouple this from the M$ eco system. Let it run a version of Firefox instead of Edge. Let it get Foobar2000 instead of windows Media player. And most of all from the XP era let it get no CD cracks, so you can install it from DVD.
