    !RasPi Foundation changes sources.list without informing, adds Microsoft repo to the list. (NOTE: I did not verify this myself.)

      Raspberry Pi OS has turned into spyware for M$: https://github.com/RPi-Distro/raspberrypi-sys-mods/commit/655cad5aee6457b94fc2336b1ff3c1104ccb4351 And yes, they add M$'s repository key to APT's trusted database and add their repo to APT's repo list. Without asking. Or informing you via a NEWS file. So now every time you do "apt[itude] update", M$ will know about it. This isn't the first time that the #RaspberryPi Foundation changed your sources.list without asking: https://x0f.org/@FreePietje/103799438252038745 Fuck that. #RPi

    1. Raspberry Pi Introduces a New $4 Board, and Its Own Silicon
      The Raspberry Pi is one of the smallest and cheapest mini computers you can buy. It has an HDMI port, USB ports, and runs Ubuntu or other open-source operating systems like a champ. The new Raspberry Pi Pico, on the other hand, is like the CPU of a more complex machine. By itself, it can’t do much, but with a few add-ons, you can control robots, lights, and other DIY hacks.

    I think there are still a couple of projects around making a !RasPi, #BeagleBone, or similar SBC the host of one's primary online presence. I just don't think that--given asymmetrical connection speeds and ISP interference--it is a workable solution, even in most Western countries. When you consider the poor countries where the only Internet service is mobile devices, there's no way it can put "most" people in control of their data.

    We probably need to combine multiple approaches, where most approaches are hosted outside one's home or physical control.

    I keep looking at https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-hc4-oled/ even though as far as I know, it is not available for sale yet.

    I looked at both the #Odroid HC1 and HC2 and thought that it would be more interesting if it could take more drives. The HC4 is more interesting.

    #sonOne received a “Libre Computer” “Tritium” SBC, with a similar form factor to the !RasPi 3B as a birthday present. It was only $15, but he was still very appreciative, as he’s aware that I’m currently on unemployment benefits.

    ODROID-H2+ — ameriDroid
    https://ameridroid.com/products/odroid-h2

    Expected to start shipping late June 2020

    What it has:
    SoC – Intel Celeron J4115 quad core processor @ up to 2.3 GHz (real frequency) with 12EU Intel UHD Graphics 600
    System Memory – Dual-channel Memory DDR4-PC19200 (2400MT/s) supporting up to 32GB RAM in total
    Storage – M.2 PCIe 2.0 x4 slot for one NVMe storage, 2x SATA 3.0 ports, eMMC flash support
    Video Output
    HDMI 2.0 up to 4K (4096×2160) @ 60 Hz
    DisplayPort 1.2 up to 4K (4096×2160) @ 60 Hz
    Audio – HDMI, audio jacks for HP, MIC. and S/PDIF
    Connectivity – Dual 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45) via RTL8125B chipset
    Expansion – 24-pin header with I2C, UART (3.3V), USB2.0 and HDMI CEC signals
    Misc – RTC battery (Included)

    Looks a bit pricey at $134.95 USD and still requires more just to run.

    REQUIRED ITEMS (NOT INCLUDED)
    No power supply included - 15VDC/4A power supply required
    No RAM pre-installed - DDR4 SODIMM
    DDR3 is not supported
    No eMMC Module or SSD included
    M.2 SATA SSD is not supported
    No case included
    No HDMI cable included - needed to connect to a display device. Recommend HDMI2.0 cable to support 4K output

    But it does have this that seems to be missing on many SBC's

    Connectivity – Dual 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45) via RTL8125B chipset

    So it could work as a router, a very fast router.

    So lets add it up:
    SBC - $134.95 USD
    Case - $14.95 USD
    Case fan - $5.95 USD
    4GB ram - $26.95 USD
    250GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD - $89.95 USD
    15V/4A Power Supply - $12.95 USD
    Shipping insurance/fee - $4.35 USD
    Total - $290.05 USD

    If you take the NVMe out and you have a spare drive laying around (cables and it looks like power for drives not included) you end up at $198.70 USD

    I think I will wait for more feedback on this.

    1. ODROID-H2+
      More Units on the Way Expected to start shipping late June 2020 Hardkernel has released their first X86 based single board computer, The new revision ODROID-H2+ (Rev B+) marks a new era of expandable, customizable SBCs. You’ll need to supply your own memory and storage — but since the ODROID-H2+ uses the same kind of components commonly found in modern laptops, you should have no trouble finding compatible hardware to fill out your SBC. ONLY NVMe M.2 SSD ARE COMPATIBLE: PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD The ODROID-H2+ features an Intel Celeron J4115 Gemini Lake processor, two SO-DIMM slots for memory, two SATA ports and one M.2 NVMe slot for storage, two 2.5 GbE ports, two USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports and more! Additional items required to operate - see "REQUIRED ITEMS" section below. KEY FEATURES SoC – Intel Celeron J4115 quad core processor @ up to 2.3 GHz (real frequency) with 12EU Intel UHD Graphics 600 System Memory – Dual-channel Memory DDR4-PC19200 (2400MT/s) supporting up to 32GB RAM in total Storage – M.2 PCIe 2.0 x4 slot for one NVMe storage, 2x SATA 3.0 ports, eMMC flash support Video Output HDMI 2.0 up to 4K (4096×2160) @ 60 Hz DisplayPort 1.2 up to 4K (4096×2160) @ 60 Hz Audio – HDMI, audio jacks for HP, MIC. and S/PDIF Connectivity – Dual 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45) via RTL8125B chipset Expansion – 24-pin header with I2C, UART (3.3V), USB2.0 and HDMI CEC signals Misc – RTC battery (Included) Power Supply – 14V to 20V DC power input Dimensions – 110x110x43mm Weight – About 320 grams with heatsink, two DRAM modules, and M.2 NVMe SSD. REQUIRED ITEMS (NOT INCLUDED) No power supply included - 15VDC/4A power supply required No RAM pre-installed - DDR4 SODIMM DDR3 is not supported No eMMC Module or SSD included  M.2 SATA SSD is not supported No case included No HDMI cable included - needed to connect to a display device. Recommend HDMI2.0 cable to support 4K output NOTES The ODROID-H2+ (H2 Rev-B+) includes these changes Upgraded from the J4105 to J4115 CPU Upgraded NIC chipset to RTL8125B Increased GPIO pins from 20 to 24 to add USB2.0 and HDMI CEC signals Changed 12V SATA power circuit to improve the suspend-resume power control sequence of 3.5" HDDs 100% hardware and software compatible with Rev B In order to use the HDMI CEC signals, a 3rd party CEC adapter board is needed For Linux, drivers for the 2.5 GbE ports must be added manually as of release as the upstream kernel needs a patch to support it Manually compiling Realtek's driver: https://wiki.odroid.com/odroid-h2/hardware/install_ethernet_driver_on_h2plus Installing a DKMS .deb package with Ubuntu OS image without Internet connection: https://wiki.odroid.com/odroid-h2/hardware/install_r8125_dkms For Windows 10, no drivers need to be added to support the 2.5 GbE The ODROID-H2 Rev B (previous revision to H2+) includes these minor changes: CLK-REQ signal pull resistor is added to support PCIe-to-SATA bridge board 12V SATA power circuit on the H2 board improvement for high power consumption HDDs like HGST Ultrastar 7K4000 series and Seagate IronWolf series. Add a M.2 screw for NVMe storage installation since many users had a hard time to find a proper screw to fasten their NVMe SSD. Pre-install the latest BIOS 1.05 ameriDroid eMMCs with white PCB are not compatible with this board LINKS ameriDroid Learn - https://ameridroid.com/blogs/ameriblogs/tagged/odroid-h2 Wiki - https://wiki.odroid.com/odroid-h2/start ODROID Forum - https://forum.odroid.com/viewforum.php?f=167 Warranty is valid for thirty days, starting upon date of receipt.

    Like other such demos, it gets boring quickly, but the point is to show the possibilities, and to provide a starting point for further learning.

    It's cool to occasionally have chats with the kids where all we talk about is servers and NAS boxes and SBCs like the !RasPi. I really enjoy our usual events/plans/feelings/grandkids talks, but these are also special.

    @kai I'm not sure yet what this specific device will be used for.
    .
    What usually happens is that I'm not near my SBCs when I have an idea and energy to devote to a project. I'm trying to add a !raspi (or similar) to my travelling kit, so I have the needed tools when needed.

    Each of the #Frys_Electronics stores I been in had a different look to the building. I think the one in San Diego had been an Incredible Universe store before. Usually a large selection of parts for building your own computer.

    However, I was disappointed that I did not see !RasPi or !Arduino or other computer board products.
