Re: Dockstar HW mod: Trying to add native sata - 3 years ago
@davidalfa, congratulation and thank you for sharing such an excellent project. BTW, you can use this F3 - an alternative to h2testw (a simple console) program to test your SATA disk and see its R/W performance.by habibie - Debian

Joey, TBH, I have not much idea about any class D amp.

Cricket Wireless Samsung Galaxy A01 16GB - 3 years ago
I was lurking around for some inexpensive pre-paid Android smartphones and stumbled upon this Cricket Wireless Samsung Galaxy A01 16GB from Walmart. The specs indicate it's an octa-core system with 2GB RAM. For a US $30 (with a free local pick up), I thought it may not be a bad idea to grab one and then flash it with LineageOS, but the device doesn't seem to be listed on its website.

WD Blue 4TB Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 5400 RPM under US $80 - 3 years ago
Currently, NewEgg has a sale on this WD Blue 4TB Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 5400 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 256MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD40EZAZ US $84.99 + Free S/H - US $5 (promo code: EMCEXET26) = US $79.99. TBH, I don't know how good and/or reliable the above HDD. However, I presume it is a low-powered HDD with 5,400 RPM and it should be good for an old Seagate GoFLEX/Home NAS.by habibie - Off-Topic
HUAWEI Vision S launch Show - Beyond a TV - 3 years ago
I thought to share the following here. I am not much of an LED TV, yet. However, I have seen this HUAWEI Vision S launch Show - Beyond a TV promo video and thought that's pretty good piece of a digital TV screen, especially under RM $4,000 (for 65") or about US $1,000, see the current exchange rate (about US $1 = RM $4). It's powered by the new Huawei Harmony OS (a derivatif ofby habibie - Off-Topic

Re: Trying to formulate optimal picture frame rendering dimensions, FPS, audio etc - 3 years ago
Joe, If you have a powerful computer with lots of RAM, i.e. 8+ GB), feel free to give kdenlive a try. TBH, I prefer avidemux for its simplicity and/or lightweight. FYI, there is also some video mixer OSS (VoctoMix) and/or webcam OSS (Webcamoid) that may interest you, too. You can find more OSS packages related to video editing through a Google search and/or any Linux software package manageby habibie - Off-Topic
Re: Trying to formulate optimal picture frame rendering dimensions, FPS, audio etc - 3 years ago
Hello Joe, I'm not sure what exactly did you mean by rendering. Did you mean a video transcoding? Anyway, if your camera captured some decent moments in a video format, i.e. AVI, MPEG, etc., and you wan to video transcode them into other video formats, the free and/or open-source software (OSS) with a nice GUI, i.e. Avidemux, will probably be your friend. For a CLI OSS, you can also trby habibie - Off-Topic
