Uh oh, what does that 'lenovo enhanced experience 3' actually imply there?

I really wish you could still get good 4:3 screen laptops. The form factor of ye olde X60 is still perfect in my eyes.

I have no idea. I hate those stupid stickers, I'm going to scrape em off.

Are you on SSDs already? I quietened down my CPU fan by upgrading it, but now I can mostly hear the HDD spinning. The old case fan does take over noise duty when the system needs more airflow to keep cool, but that doesn't wake me so that's fine.

I've just closed the case after installing the new stuff. First thing I did after booting up was powering down and unplugging the mechanical HD installed not too long ago. It really is bothersome.
Having done that the fridge from over in the kitchen is louder than the PC, can't tell if the latter is powered on.
Only the CPU fan, ryzen 1700 stock one, is spinning in idle. The graphics card has a "zero fan" mode and the two case fans are set to start working slowly when temperatures climb over 60°C.
The motherboard has a fan tuning feature, dunno if that's common. It will detect the lowest possible voltage or PWM that your fan will start spinning at and set that value as the lowest in the fan curve.
The old fans were not among China's finest, just like the TT PSU. The latter was the loudest I reckon. I'll keep one of the fans for soldering fumes and the other will begin a new life as a 555-controlled work desk fan for next summer.

I foresee my consumption of instant noodles rising by at least a small amount.
I just ordered a Raspberry 4B 4GB set with transparent case, power supply, aluminium cooling fins and fitting hdmi cable, the shop gave me the option to choose whatever I want and I already have a 128gb micro SD card lying around as well as additional keyboards and mice.
Too bad the official black/grey case is sold out everywhere, so I took a transparent one since most others who look okay are made of aluminium and you know how that affects WLAN and BT...
I was seriously tired of using so much energy (desktop = 450W, rPI4B = 15W) and of the loud fan of my big system just to watch streams or movies from a docking station/HDD and for 80€ the whole set is as fast as this 10 year old system, even has the same amount of RAM.
Sold some stuff to make room, so had the 80€ right now anyway.
Also ordered another flat 7.5m LAN cable for it elsewhere.
I may permanently hook up my USB SNES clone pads to that, seems like a good fit.
All of this will be integrated into my HDMI-Switch Projector setup and will also be placed inside the shelf I recently fastened my silver screen on.
Does anyone here have a rPi and if yes, what do you use it for?
Only using 15W for streaming/watching videos and old console stuff seems very efficient and more friendly to the environment to me and I do that so much these days...
No need to waste 450W of energy and having the fan ruin the audio experience for playing ancient console stuff either.

Strange world. Last night, I ordered an ODROID-N2 to hopefully replace my desktop. For other reasons, though. My rig never handled doing 3d well, crashing after 5 to 20 Min. I thought it was a Windows thing - I did migrate the OS from the former rig -, but it's no different running Linux. It rarely even crashes doing something "simple" as watching youtube. And, I don't want no Intel ME no more.

I have 1 running kodi with elementum (torrent streaming) on the living room tv and one as a desktop/SFTP server. Been running a desktop with a pi since the original. For video/browsing/etc they work great

Ah, SBCs. Been playing around with RasPi 3b+ just last weekend. I'm not too happy with it. I watch lots of youtube and its performance therein makes for a frustrating experience.
Still, I like the principle. Looking forward to trying the Radxa Rock Pi X or similarly priced options. Yes, I want to run Windows on one of these little boards, go sue me

Nay. I'm not going to use the Pyra as my desktop. If I'm going to be happy with an ARM-based desktop, but long for something more powerful than the ODROID, I might get something Pine based on the next one from Rockchip or similar. Or maybe Socionext brings a succesor to its desktop? Who knows.
I've been told, that the rPI4 has serious overheating issues and will massively slow down after a few minutes of casual use if not used with a fan or at least an aluminium case, I guess I should have ordered this one instead since apparently WLAN and BlueTooth still works with it, or so they say.
