Recommend GPIO Top for said Libre Renegade? - 1 year ago
My first Pi-style (not a perfect v3 clone) Rockchip-based doodad that loves the Libre version of Raspbian best out of the all-in-one Linux distros. I'm not through checking out Armbian but Reaper ran great on Raspbian, all things considered that's a good thing. One more USB 3.0 port without being hubbed (yet) would greatly help my uses for this, but if there's a highspeed placby JoeyPogoPlugE02 - Off-Topic

For what it's worth I've made a lot of useful stuff with JB Weld. In a way this and regular epoxy were many people's first taste of manual 3D printing!

-edited- Delivered today: a Libre Computer Board Renegade (ROC-RK3328-CC). This could be perfect for an extra light desktop.

WiFi 6 routers; hackable and turnkey - 1 year ago
You're all bright, and previously benefactors here pointed out some wireless chipsets that are known to disconnect from time to time, like Reaktek RT as compared to the more stable options like the one I never received the wireless dongle I'd ordered. I forgot the brand of the good one. And along comes Wifi6, AX and all that. I'm not up to spec yet but with its power saving abiby JoeyPogoPlugE02 - Off-Topic

Re: Walmart: Gateway Ultra Slim Notebook under US $80 (11.6") and US $100 (14.1") - 2 years ago
SSDs and M.2 on sale for Black Friday etc, but I'm not seeing excessively good deals out there. I got a 20,000 mah recharging battery for $10 but that's probably a stocking stuffer for someone next month. I'm nerve-wracked whether to commit to a Samsung Pro either 500 GB or for like $154 more, 1 tb. This new refurb has a brand of M.2 with King in the name, not Kingston.

I was thinking of buying a license if you need one still for my 18 years of Unreal Tournament 2004 trial (!). This led to finding the abandonware site: https://www.myabandonware.com/ pretty cool.
