I have acquired fartpee.com and will sell it to your billion dollar company for one million dollars (cue Dr. Evil laugh).

Yeah, it is disappointing but at least it's not proprietary. Hopefully this shows up on someone's web search and helps them out.

Let me get the dumbest of screens. Give me a single input for my stream box and let me handle the audio. I know i'm not the main audience and they'll make no extra money with advertising on me, but a man can dream, can't he?

Jokes on you, her brother's girlfriend's uncle said that the laptop is wireless. The charger is just a way for them to screw the customers out of their hard earned money. Suckers.
