No Thanks. This is using the new Z2 Go chip. That is the lowest tier of all the new AMD chips. It’s for some reason built on the old Zen 3 architecture, and is even slower than the vanilla Z1 (non-extreme) from 2 years ago. And it’s using the outdated RDNA2, graphics cores.

This is probably good for best compatibility with SteamOS (close to Steamdeck hardware) but it’s not good compared to today’s most efficient or most powerful chips.

I need to move my mishmash of hard drives, fans, cables, and NUC into a proper NAS box, with a proper power supply and a mini itx motherboard.

When I first read about Bitcoins, my takeaway was it was some kind of credits you could earn by using your unused use CPU cycles, but it wasn’t a sure thing, it’s a lottery, you have a chance to earn a credit (a “coin”) every few minutes, as long as you keep donating your CPU cycles. (This was before gpu mining was a thing). I tried it, and after 3 days I had earned 3 coins, but then I looked into the value, and they were only worth about 10c each. That’s less than the electricity it took to earn them. And you couldn’t spend them anywhere, except that one pizza place, where it cost a few thousand coins for a pizza. There weren’t even any exchanges to convert them to real currency if you wanted to.

I tried to find my coins years later, (when Bitcoins got to USD $2000 each), but I couldn’t find the old hard drive the wallet was on.

As someone who has dabbled trading ETFs, (and refuses to touch NFTs), I still always read “ETF” as “NFT” whenever I see it, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. :(

What makes you say the windows version is better? The lighting looks more accurate in the top one to me.

In Australia our eggs are kept in the refrigerated section in the supermarket (usually near the cheese and butter, because everyone knows eggs are dairy), and we’ve always put them in the fridge at home, so I guess they wash the protective coating off here too.
