Watching #BRASUI on my 12 year old Thinkpad X60, just for fun. It runs Libreboot and Debian Sid and handles it perfectly - the HD stream causes only ~30% CPU load.
It's really not necessary to buy new hardware all the time. May this be a reminder :)
@resist_berlin Tried watching DVB-C high definition channels on our Mid 2007 iMac via a USB TV stick and it struggles. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
