    Battery power supply for SBC and screen

    I want to run a single board computer - likely an Orange Pi 5 - and a screen on batteries. The board needs 5 V, the screen 12 V. I've read around a bit, and apparently using two voltage regulators for each item should do the trick. Which is baffling to me since reading about voltage dividers...

    ClockworkPi uConsole

    New portable by clockworkpi. There's different versions available, 4G optional for 40$. I don't like L/R on the front (Edit: it just dawned on me those might be mouse buttons, which is fine. But still missing L/R on the back then), the d-pad doesn't look very usable and enter/backspace should be...

    Home Security

    My parents' home is a bit off the beaten path. It's right next to a stretch of woods. They would like a few cameras around the house. I'm looking into a small (raspi?) server running kerberos. I'd also get a new, powerful Wifi router that can cover all of the house. No cloud services or...

    Diagnosing a Dead Laptop

    I've been asked to take a look at a dead laptop, an acer Aspire e17. According to the user it abruptly stopped working when she did a 180 with it on the table, for another person to look at the screen. The power cable wasn't connected at the time. It's 2 - 3 years old and looks like new. When...

    New HDD dead?

    I'm assuming the answer is 'yes'... I've had this 3,5" WD blue 1TB HDD lying around since when I bought it over a year ago. It's been sitting on a wooden shelf with only a stack of paper envelopes resting on top. Today I mounted it in the tower along with a 2nd, older and used one that's...

    HDD Docking Stations

    HDD docking stations - are they all bad? Reading Amazon reviews leads me to believe that. When they don't outright kill disks, they have problems driving two at the same time. Or the individual disks can't be unmounted, or say: hot-swapped. Are there any good adapters/docks available? What do...

    Encryption and startup delay / performance

    1) I've recently encrypted a few SSDs/partitions and all devices have coped well with that. Using Veracrypt. But one type of laptop takes 4-5 times longer after password input than the others, the Lenovo X240. We have a few of them and it's the same for all. It's more or less the same specs as...

    How I fixed Youtube for myself

    Updated method using mpv/quvi note: old mvp using quvi won't work with playlists. I'll look for a workaround once I'm suitably annoyed. Youtube puts quite some strain on older machines. Running it in firefox makes things even worse. Whether you're using HTML5 or Flashplayer makes no noticeable...
