You should connect remotely from a country with a better climate, preferably with a beach bar as the background.

If complimented on the background order a cocktail while staring at the camera to prove it’s an actual beach bar and that you can

Even at double the price you still end up paying under $0.10 per shave - maybe $25/year - and that’s if you pay full price. A small fraction of what you’d pay for cartridges or disposable razors.

This. I bought 500 feather blades for $40 (which is more of a steal than a deal) in 2013 and they will last me many more years

If you are on stock software on EOL device you are not getting os updates either.

Also a bunch of recent vulns were in SoC specific stuff - outside os.

No security fixes once the device reaches end of life. For pixel 4a end of security updates was 10 months ago. That mostly is a problem with malicious apps - there were some privilege escalation bugs in those 10 months - but sometimes you get a banger that can get exploited by simply loading a page or opening an image.

Something more like this https://a.co/d/0bgPCSvQ - it should use half the power, it’s way smaller, 2x SATA if you want 2 drives. I haven’t checked if this specific one is 12V, but there are dozens in the same form factor and with similar specs.

There are a lot of atom or mobile i3/i5 powered mini PCs that actually are powered with a 12v brick, in fact most of the industrial ones are. Small form factor, passive cooling, can play media for you and usually comes with 4x 1/2.5gbit Ethernet, so it can double as a router/switch. Usually 10-15w power draw.

Go to AliExpress and simply search for minipc and make sure it has a SATA connector for your hard drive.

4k 120Hz HDR is what current gen consoles can output right now and what is becoming common even on mid-range TVs (quality of HDR aside). I’d expect you’d want most of that experience or future-proof solution that would allow that when you get a new TV.

• No SBC that I know of can handle 4k 120Hz HDR output, so getting the most of moonlight is not possible.
• Low latency decode requires some work to get running
• AV1 encode/decode has even more latency, do you will be running higher bitrate h264, which in turn means wired network connection is recommended.
• Streaming services limit 4k and/or HDR access on a lot of content to locked devices. E.g. Netflix only guarantees 720p sdr when watching in a browser - how much more you get depends on the deal with the copyright holder.

Tl;dr; a long, active fiber HDMI cable + USB over IP might be cheaper, better and easier. That’s what I ended up buying despite the cable length being 60m (200ft).

I hate mosquitos enough to be willing to roll the dice on this one

• populism
• social media
• using religion for control and power
• mosquitoes
• unchecked corporate greed

Same. I’ve switched to Arch from Ubuntu as my main os almost 10 years ago and in all that time I’ve had a problem that goes beyond inconvenience level maybe twice. In fact Ubuntu broke more often.

Workstations/laptops at my current job in order of popularity: nixos, arch, macos. Windows is around 2%.

I’ve put an ocean between myself and the US.

Emigration due to the war is about 10x of the Russian losses as reported by Ukraine

Budget (about 200 euro):

• Mikrotik hex s router
• TP-Link eap610 access point
• Unmanaged trendnet switch

Better(400-500 euro):

• Fanless minipc running pfsense - like this https://aliexpress.com/item/1005005515731536.html
• TP-Link eap653 access point
• mikrotik CRS310-8G+2S+IN switch

TP-Link omada line is basically a bunch of ubiquity clones at much lower price

TP-Link omada series - clones of ubiquity at half the price, can run openwrt if that’s your thing. I’ve got 6 of those including outdoor ones covering the yard
