Depends on what you are expecting, I guess. An Atom-based computer is hardly a replacement for your average Intel/AMD desktop.

Absolutely true. But these types of machines are great for specialized tasks!
I have one called Liva that uses the Intel System on Chip, and I have it currently configured as my network router. It blocks all Windows telemetry domains as well as 16 MB of advertising and tracking domains.
I love it.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

16 Mb worth of domains?
Where did you get that list from?

I was thinking HTPC as well. If it can handle 1080p, I'm in.

Have you ever tried torturing an egg? It's no yolk! (It's also illegal so we're careful to make payments through a shell company!)

I had to write some scripts (=macro) for a google sheet handling the results of a google form, e.g. I made my first steps into javascript.
I feel dirty now. What language is this ? It leaves you with the sad impression of "ok, it works, but, geeeez..."

Have a look at TypeScript[^]. It's typed javascript that compiles to regular javascript.
I know, a monkey with a dress and lipstick is still a monkey, but you have to look at it from a distance.
And it's actually the brainchild of Anders Hejlsberg, so I believe the monkey even has a wig.

Welcome to the club. The 'ok, it works' feeling will quickly pass once you get to know it closer and then you will feel really dirty.
I have no idea what kind of masochist would want to do more than some trivial scripting on a website with it.

I agree, but now I'm happy with NodeJS, (almost) never to write browser JS again. However the most awesome features are the one known as "bad practice". It seems with a great power comes "what the **** is happening here?" thoughts.

If you really want to get your feet wet with JS, then brace yourself, it's more functional than most OOP people are used to.
