    I've bought Surface Pro an Glaxy Fold both renewed through Amazon. Both fine and saved me money

    Those computers are dope. The ratio price/value is amazing. I disagree with one point : the T version of the CPU is not, per say, more energy efficient. For a fixed amount of (small) work, it will draw about the same energy. It's like to identical cars with one electronically limited to 60mph and the other 100mph. If you don't take the highway, they will consume the same amount of energy. Of course, if you take the highway, it's another story! My Optiplex 7050 with i5-7600 and 16GB of ram draws about 7w when idle for the full computer, which is nice.

    Amazon renewed works well in India as well but luckily we still have a few computer shops here. I prefer going there since you can customise as per your preferences, but you have to inspect what you're getting to be sure that you're not being ripped off XD.
    I've been interested in these mini PCs for some time but for some reason they're not nearly as abundantly available here. And RPi is ofc non existent now.
    Thanks for sharing your insights.

      ​@@sunknudsen Yes, awesome thanks! Also, wondering why your clock time on the top-right corner is greyed? depending on the operating system? And, do you know is there any way to make resistFingerprinting.letterboxing colour on the sides of the webpage fits the Firefox theme?

    A great place to find these machines is on eBay. I bought a number of this same exact model for a home lab cluster.

    Which computer do you recommend for a bitcoin full node that has removable wireless connectivity? I couldn’t find a link to it in the description.

  • @martinlutherkingjr.5582
    @martinlutherkingjr.5582 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Can all of the wireless connectivity be physically removed/disabled? Not just software switch.

  • @martinlutherkingjr.5582
    @martinlutherkingjr.5582 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    If using this for a full node are you not concenred about the x86 Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities? Why not use an arm chip computer? They’re pretty powerful these days.

    Hey Sun, what about disabling Intel ME (the backdoor) with Coreboot on this small computer for Bitcoin stuff?

    What are your thoughts about Dell Optiplex 3040 micro? It’s around the same price and is in stock.
    Also what internal SSD replacement do you recommend for this?

    I was think of a more suitable word than resurrecting. I think the typical phrase would be “climbing out of the rabbit hole.” If I needed one word it would be resurfacing.

    You can also buy refurbished cheap computers on ebay these days. I bought one for 50 Euros, put a bunch of hard drives in there and now it's in my basement storing all my files.
