  • I moved over 4000 miles away with overseas shipping on a pallet that traveled about half the distance in a truck by land.

    Here is how I did it:

    GPU in its original box since that was made for sea shipping.

    HDDs taken out, wrapped in foam, and put in boxes.

    Other components stayed in the case, but the case was filled with large air pocket packing material to support the air cooling block. Computer was then put in the original case box and stored with the orientation of the cooling block vertical. The side to side movement is eliminated with the packing material and less stress was placed. Safer yet would be to remove the cooler if it is air.

    If you have a glass side panel, make sure it is surrounded by packing material.

    That is it! Everything arrived in perfect condition except for some books which got wet from the humid saltwater air in an enclosed space.






  • Sorry, I misunderstood what you are trying to do here. I thought you were trying to use the Atom Echo itself as a media player. Disregard that arduino library comment, it isn’t relevant. I just watched the video since I couldn’t earlier.

    Indeed what you are doing should work. Are you certain that the upload was successful? With GPIO21 set as the speaker output, the speaker data should absolutely not work. The fact that it does means that somewhere along the line, the GPIO22 is set as the speaker output.



  • But to be fair, even 2 ASUS WiFi 6E on their zenwifi like for example are like >300€. A Cloud gateway ultra + U7 pro + PoE injector is around that too. For me the router/AP entrance is in a place that barely gives a signal so it makes so sense to have an access point there.

    So I would get more or less the same signal with 1 access point + a wired router than 2 access points.

    Depends on your situation of course.


  • Let’s be honest, it doesn’t work for 30% of listed businesses either… Typing in more than 1 word automatically returns utter crap.

    If I type is SPAR, I get all supermarkets near me.

    If I type in SPAR supermarket because that is what it is listed under, I get this BS, random supermarkets 60+ km away. Even if it could only parse out supermarket because of how badly it parses, then it still could take supermarkets near me.

    When I type in just supermarket, I get the supermarkets near me. Any time I type more than one word, the search completely breaks…




  • I love the absurdity of game reviewers 😂

    • “This game is the pinnicle of its genre”

    • “This is the 1 game I would bring to a desert island”

    • “one of the most captivating puzzle games ever”

    85%, 88%, 70%, a C to a B. That is just above average.

    Meanwhile you get an absolute broken AAA piece of crap that barely functions, incoherant story, generic and boring and those same reviewers say “70-80%”. So there is a <10% difference between absolutely mastering a genre and releasing straight garbage?


  • True, but it is also completely different use cases and they have different goals.

    Windows on a 2-in-1 is also not as good as an iPad. They are desktop OS’s with tablet functionality as a nice to have. They will never be as smooth of an experience as a mobile-first OS.

    The trade off is 100x better compatibility with many apps, especially FOSS. inkscape, krita, KiCAD, FreeCAD, coding IDEs, MATLAB/scipy, games, etc… They are all available out of the box without a mediocre mobile port.

    The flexibility to functionally use it as a full-blown computer (and not reliant on a monopolized, centralized app store) is the reason you get it and not an iPad. Of course it won’t be as good as a tablet because it wasn’t made for that.

    You can also say “the iPad will never be as good of a drawing experience as a dedicated high-end drawing tablet.” Like of course. That isn’t its function and goal.

    Lol right? only people who don’t know how to cook think beans and lentils tastes bad.

    Lentils: boil in water or broth with paprika, pepper, bay leaf, and add salt half way through. 15in for red lentils, 20-25 for green.

    Beans are extremely versatile and can go in almost anything, for sure chickpeas can be cheap as hell protein for all sorts of dishes around the world if you don’t want to spring the rising costs for meat. They are dirt cheap canned and can be even cheaper dry and just need to be soaked then cooked.
