Re: Raspberry Pi 400 desktop - 27 days ago
Retailed @ US$100 / piece on the market is probably a pretty steep price, YMMV. However, these days, it is very like for one to simply build a low-end Linux media and/or desktop computer using an inexpensive Android TV Box (recommended with a minimal 4 GB RAM , but doable with a 2 GB RAM + some built-in USB3 ports) with an LED TV (minimal 4K @60 Hz refresh rate) as a monitor. With any USB and/orby habibie - Off-Topic

Bodhi, I am not sure if this (scroll down to see which file to download) is what you are looking for. OTOH, a Google search result reveals a lot of hits on this.by habibie - Off-Topic
onn. 43” Class 4K UHD (2160P) LED US $88 - 5 weeks ago
Today (1022/20) @7:00 PM ONLY from Walmart. Walmart is selling this onn. 43” Class 4K UHD (2160P) LED Roku Smart TV HDR (100012584) US $88.00. I don't know much about the TV; however, I sure think it would be a very inexpensive one and can probably be used as a computer monitor, i.e. this ODroid-HC4? Anyone?by habibie - Off-Topic
ODroid-HC4 - 5 weeks ago
Before I go further, here is some information aboud an ODroid-HC4 with a based price of US $65. I wonder if anyone out here contemplates to get one to try. When I 1st saw this, I thought it just looks similar to a Seagate FoGLEX/NET unit. A further read on its specs really blows my mind away, with an exception it does NOT come with a USB3 port (if there exists such a SATA-2-USB3 port, I certainlyby habibie - Off-Topic

Re: Such thing as a SIM unit for Desktop computer? - 5 weeks ago
As Bodhi mentioned above, here is a 3G Mobile Wireless Router Broadband Power WiFi Hotspot Power Bank 1800mAh (under US $8.00). It is a 3G USB modem. So, the speed is pretty low. I strongly suggest that you get at least a 4G LTE GSM router, something like this (TIANJIE 3G/4G Portable Hotspot LTE Wifi Router WAN/LAN Port Dual External Antennas Modem Unlocked Wireless Sim Card CPE Router) or this (by habibie - Off-Topic

Android Smart TV Box 4GB as a Linux Desktop Computer - 2 months ago
I was lurking around on eBay and spotted this US Android Smart TV Box 4GB 32GB Quad-core 3D 6K Ultra HD TV Box Media Player US $21.94 + US $6 S/H = US $27.94. It is a 4-core H6 (Chinese made CPU?) system with 4 / 32 GB RAM / eMMC storage and USB3 port(s). I started to think perhaps it may not be a bad idea to grab this device and turn it into a very inexpensive Linux desktop computer. Anyone?by habibie - Off-Topic

Re: QUESTION: Would you flash your working NAS - 7 months ago
Here is an old saying: If it ain't broken, don't fix it.. I believe you can make it a dual boot, i.e. boot external OS on an external storage. In this case, you probably need to update the uboot if the original uboot doesn't support a boot from an external device, i.e. USB storage, etc. This is what I have been doing with all my Seagate Dockstar, GoFLEX Home/Net devices.
