  1. OK and this $19 eBay score is a Digital Sign Display. Well, actually it's just a tiny AMD PC, complete with 128GB SSD and WiFi. With a quad core Jaguar+ based APU (similar to base PS4). I'm turning this into a HTPC for the bedroom using Tiny10 by NTDEV.

  3. My old Tiny PC is getting more and more buggy, among other things the USB ports no longer work properly, whether the ones directly on the back of the mainboard or the two on the front of the case, which are connected to the MB with a cable... plus the already old Ryzen 5 3400G processor...

    The situation really calls for something “new”, and in this case I would like to fall back on a refurbished device. It doesn't always have to be new, and many business devices are still more than usable. Especially with Linux. Besides, I already have a new device with the Beelink SER7.

    After a bit of research, I'm currently considering an HP ProDesk 600 G6 SFF. I like the modular chassis concept, everything is easily accessible and well thought out. No comparison with cheap customer devices.

    To illustrate this, I'll link an HP support video showing how well swapping components works. Now I just have to find a good offer...

  5. OMG, the very cheap (and tiny - that's an 80mm fan) Chinese computer (CWWK aka Topton) might be a tool of the evil Chinese state, and might explode or assassinate the cat at any moment. OK, I'm being ridiculous… I don't even have a cat.

    It's an impressive bit of kit though. The fan is optional and not really necessary. I've taken for the better safe than sorry approach and attached a Noctua PWM fan. It only kicks in when it has to, and is inaudible when it does.

    “Efficient heat dissipation particles, allowing you to have a better Working experience.”
