Ok, NOW Xbox is a PC - Chromium Edge on console!

Thanks, Honey for sponsoring!

The Xbox just got full blown Chromium based Edge, so does that basically just make the Xbox a PC?

Damn the multiverse is really shaking things up

[joeadams]

“I have no idea but it’s working” describes the history of console troubleshooting

[jswbr]

It's weird to watch almost in real time as LTT has grown in size, Linus has gone from the guy who knows everything about everything to the guy being handed curated experiences and asking questions to the person behind the camera.

[Bnjmn]

Clearly it's not operating super smoothly, but if Microsoft was to continue working on turning the Xbox into something that could legitimately be a console/PC hybrid, I think that would translate to a lot of new customers that would have otherwise ignored consoles.

[Bigdaddymittens]

Back on the 360, there was a version of internet explorer supported.
When I was in high school, we had an online course management system, where we could complete some of our quizzes and tests online and view our grades. (This was in 2013, before all the remote learning we see today)
I actually managed to get away with skipping school and doing my tests on my damn Xbox 360 lol.

[Hydrani]

Alex: "WHAT did you do?"
Linus: "I don't know but it's WORKING"

Discord be like

[morgan]

"Press any button"
Linus: "Where's the any button key"

[CA.papaBear]

5:40 - that's because of the app is running in a vm and when you switch xbox apps, you effectively turn off or put the web browser vm to sleep and then turn on the gaming vm or other app vm you choose. And same thing goes to peripherals, the hypervisor just shares peripherals and when you shut off the vm for web browsing, it disconnects the peripherals in use. And if it didn't, it can lead to some security complications imo.

[SPONGEGAAR]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who constantly asks “but can it run RuneScape?”

[Just_RJ]

The Logitech K400 is a real soldier. Mine's still going strong after two years, only had to change the batteries twice.

Linus: “I don’t know what I did but it’s working!!”

Me and my friends trying to replicate: -__-

[joaorafaeloliveira]

Used to browse internet with my Dreamcast at early 2000s.. Sure an ahead-of-time console in several aspects.

[resentfulsoulofthetoilet]

"Its a browser! What am I supposed to do?!"
You should close some tabs, Alex.

[iYonga]

About the emulators: Click on the middle of the screen once you go fullscreen. Then it won't interrupt anymore

[FipsaMan]

About that "switching apps makes them go in suspend mode": Xbox One had Snap Mode and it worked flawlessly. Yes, the usable screen estate was smaller, but we were able to watch YT while playing a game... Why drop that functionality??

[yaxxee]

I've started using my Series S for cloud apps, mainly Office 365 and people think I'm weird as heck but there's something satisfying about using Excel on a 50" 4k TV

[TarisRedwing]

So the Xbox can now play “Wave Racer 64” but the Switch still can’t 😂

[TheMagicalTouch]

Bro, getting discord to run on an xbox would be magical. Especially now that more and more games are becoming cross platform. Would be dope to be able to talk to my friends on discord without having to join the call on my phone and using earbuds to hear and talk to them.

[joshuascholar]

Now that you've experienced this, Linus, you should consider owning a PC.

[creationsmaxo]

The Xbox is still using its apps (like the browser) in a closed sandbox environment, meaning each app has to be active to enable apps specific features such as peripherals. This was implemented to both protect the user from potential online treats such as having some kind of hack/pluging tools take over the controls of the XBox (or recording inputs outside of the apps) from within the browser as well as allowing the OS to be protected from potential intrusion.
