    Raspberry Pi alternatives?

    If you're willing to spend around 5k, you could get an old Android phone with a SD820 class processor, flash custom firmware, and use that - provided you can make it work, that should be enough horsepower for most single user projects.

    Raspberry Pi alternatives?

    From what I've seen most alternatives like the Orange Pi have seen price increases/stock depletion as well, so the only real options I can think of are the x86 ones like the LattePanda, ASUS Tinker Board and Nvidia Jetson, all of which have much higher price tags. Honestly, if space and power...

    PC Software for finding duplicate files

    I think @Pyception is looking for something that shows files with the same name, not necessarily duplicates. I expect Czkawka can do this, but I found its UI intimidating so I have no experience with it - my usual go to is CloneSpy, which can do what OP is looking for. However, it does have a...

    To zip, iso or store plain!

    @nRiTeCh I'm a bit confused - is compression a requirement for you or are you just looking to prevent bitrot? Because I don't see any reason to archive the data if it's the latter.

    WTB SATA HDD replacement cable for HP 800 G3 mini PC

    This seems to be what you're looking for. Delivery will probably be several times the cost of the component itself, but every other site lists it at anywhere from €30-60. That said, SATA HDD interposers seem to be a standard component, so you might be able to find an off brand one from a local...

    Storage Solutions 2 TB SSD for video editing?

    The best way to determine this is to look up the data sheets/detailed specs on the manufacturer websites (or on reviews) and check the TBW (Terabytes Written) spec; for example, the P3 Plus 2TB has a TBW of 440TB, meaning that you could write 100GB to the SSD every day and expect it to last...

    Looking to buy a 1tb NVME drive, suggestions?

    If you're going to use it as a boot drive, then yes, a DRAM cache is usually highly recommended (depending on your workloads). Though from what I hear SSDs like the Crucial P2 with HMB (Host Memory Buffer) perform acceptably well despite not having DRAM; your PC needs to support it, but I think...

    31-40k Desktop for Programming - Coding

    I second the 5600g, or at least something with integrated graphics - whatever you save by going with the 3600 you'll probably lose getting a GPU, which will take up a PCIe slot and result in more power consumption for little benefit. And between the i3 and R5, I would go for the R5 - it's got...

    4K UHD TV is it really 4K? or it is Full HD Lowscaled from 4K??

    The manufacturer has no control over what stats YouTube decides to show: viewport is not the same as your panel resolution, it's just the dimensions of the area in which the YouTube video is playing. You can check this for yourself on your computer - open a YouTube video without putting it into...

    Storage Solutions Data Recovery Help Required

    A search brought up a recovery company called "Now Data Recovery" based out of Bangalore. Looking at their price list, it seems almost suspiciously cheap for data recovery, but if there's no other way to get the data then you might as well. Personally, I would pay the amounts listed if the data...

    Android Ad-Free Casual Android Games to kill time for next few days.

    Are you looking for free games only or is paid OK? I run an ad-blocker, so I'm not sure exactly which games on my phone have ads or not, but off the top of my head: Super Hexagon (paid) Sky Force (the first one) Has ads, but only if you choose to watch them for extra lives, stars, etc, which...

    4K UHD TV is it really 4K? or it is Full HD Lowscaled from 4K??

    I did some testing on my laptop and arrived at the conclusion that 1920*1080*2 is 4K, but with the added information about how the UI is being scaled. In Windows on a 1080p display, for example, if you have your display scaling set to "150%" or "125%" (as it is by default on most machines with a...

    Warranty for WD Mybook Shucked Drives

    I've heard stories of people having warranties honored even on naked drives, though in some cases they had to cite the US Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, which obviously isn't a thing here. That said, if the drive's already dead, there's no harm in trying IMO.

    I'm interested in the AsRock A320M board - could you DM me? Also, just to clarify: according to what I see online, the MSI A320 board does not have an M.2 slot; is that accurate?
