isn’t the issue with the mini pcs that longevity is an issue with regular use? i was wondering about using one for a “cheap” nas set up but the community remain pretty sceptical still as they have been reported to burn out after a while

I did see the Aoostar NAS, it’s a mini pc with potential for two huge TB drives though, so clearly manufacturers are thinking about it

i remember looking a few years ago and i found you could buy your own hip replacement implants, they’re just hunks of metal but still

i sit so much at a desk now i’ve gone and bought a couple of the calf electric muscle stimulators, although they’re heavily marketed for the old lady demographic with poor blood flow

will see if they make he stand up and shout at random intervals like Dr Strangelove

they do sell some which are aimed at the lower neck rather than the back, but these things don’t really have any effect on muscle mass, they’re more for improving small vessel blood flow / might help nerve pain

my solution for lower back pain while sitting at the desk was to get a standing desk unfortunately

There's a ton of reviews on YouTube for seemingly every different model atm, BeeLink, Chuwi and Trigkey seem to be three of the most common brands. Currently the Intel N100 chips seem to be the sweet spot for price/performance.

Anecdotally here in the UK the price difference between AliExpress and Amazon (prime) for these is pretty negligible.

the advice is to go with amazon because it’s quicker and you can return it if it’s broken etc

I have so many lego pieces on my floor I have learnt the way of ninja walking.

But UK plugs, I just don't get it. I'd rather get zapped once or twice than use those monstrosities. Just use plug covers if you have a toddler in your house.

i still put covers over my plugs but i never need to worry about the little idiot dislodging the plug slightly to get to the tasty gold bits in the middle

Anyone hosed with car stereos? I got an ATOTO deck for my old CRV but my dad's '11 Silverado just has an aux port and no Bluetooth. Pointless to bother with Android auto or anything for him but a unit with Bluetooth and built in storage or a port for a card or flash drive would be great to provide him with some music. A remote for volume/song skip that could attach to the wheel would be great as well as it doesn't have those either.

just get a bluetooth fm transmitter for the cigarette lighter, also means you don’t have to suffer any weird software car play

Received my mini PC today. It's pretty cool. I don't have time to mess with it this week but my first impressions are:

- It did come with an EU power supply as advertised, but it's 110-240v so it should work fine with any cheap EU-US plug adapter.

- It has zero USB-C ports, which is utterly bizarre to me. Who wants 3 HDMI, 2 ethernet and zero USB-C? Not totally unacceptable, but I think worth pointing out.

- It really is tiny. I was imagining the size of those old Intel NUCs but it's I think only about 60% of that volume.

it’s amazing so far, i’ve plugged in some external storage and installed teamviewer, plex / jellyfin and tailscale to connect to Lunasea app on my phone and that’s it, a complete media server accessible from anywhere online

I am finally setting up my firebat n100 box this weekend. Does anybody know if I need to change those bios settings and what I need to change it too? I remember hearing that most n100 boxes come underclocked, but I can't find good documentation. Only random dumb youtube videos.

he calls it a T Bao but it’s the same thing, bios setting and change the ram to 4200 which he does in the video
