The car dependency in Tallinn is definitely not helped by public transport being much inferior to just taking your car everywhere. I've tried to reduce my dependency on cars in Tallinn, and yet I often discover that an hour-long trip v

Hi, author here. I went ahead and did the math based on offerings in raspberrypi.dk since that's the reseller that the official Raspberry Pi website directs me to as someone living in Estonia. Raspberry Pi 4 8GB: 92.87 EUR "Armor

I've run the T430 as a server and it's faster, and a lot louder as well. That's the trade-off.

Author here. Yes, you can get a better deal if you don't care about the noise, but I value silence higher than having the best performance per dollar.

Hi, author here. I gave that a try as well, but in my experience it didn't improve the situation much. After giving it some thought I suspect that it may or may not be related to Thunderbolt settings in UEFI that refer to enabling Thun

I did not buy mine from Amazon, I was ordering other things from a local IT retailer and had room in the budget for two of these USB sticks. The price made sense in this context for me and I had little use for that extra space.

I bought two of the same model from the same retailer and the other one reported the exact same capacity.

I've found that most desktop PC-s have idle power usage around 35-50W. That was the main motivation to look for alternative solutions like ASRock Deskmini, or the Dell/HP/Lenovo TinyMiniMicro form factor machines. Mini PC-s t
