Bunte USB-Sticks von SanDisk: Von Schlumpf-Blau, über Peely-Gelb bis Absinth-Grün https://www.computerbase.de/news/storage/bunte-usb-sticks-von-sandisk-von-schlumpf-blau-ueber-peely-gelb-bis-absinth-gruen.93446/ #SanDisk #USB
@lymenzies From my own experience I can tell that even the Original #RaspberryPi and #PiZero can run #RaspberryPiOS all day long and will run circles around the orginal #EeePC701, only getting beaten by the #Vaio #P11Z when it comes to #RAM and #IO options.
Granted a #CM4 or #CM5 with > 2GB RAM will shift the tides but those alone cost more than a used #Wyse3040 and #upcycling a #ThinClient into something like a tiny luggable is propably more budget friendly and useful anyway, espechally since built-in Gigabit #Ethernet and #USB 3.0 really kick ass, so you'd propably be better served doing some #PoE / Wide-Range DC-in & battery setup to make good use of the oversized build volume at hand.
Maybe take some "THICC" 21700 LiFePO4 cells or one of those #LiFePO4 motorcycle batteries for a spin? Pretty shure that you can sqeeze battery runtime measured in DAYS out of it without much tweaking.
Internal storage is fast, but external typically isn't as fast. The SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD changes things, though. It may well be the best portable drive we've ever seen. https://www.pickr.com.au/reviews/2025/sandisk-extreme-pro-portable-ssd-usb4 #accessories #computers #reviews #externalstorage #recommended #sandisk #ssd #typec #usb #wd #westerndigital
Help me troubleshoot my new workstation config?
Thinkpad with Thunderbolt 4 > CalDigit TB3 Plus dock > UGREEN Revodok Pro connected to the CalDigit's downstream TB3 port. 4k TV (120Hz capable) plugged into that via HDMI.
In 1920x1080 mode, I can go up to 120 Hz.
In 4k mode, I can't go any higher than 30 Hz.
If I plug the UGREEN Revodok Pro directly into the Thinkpad's other TB4 port, I can specify 60Hz, but I get screens like what you see here.
The Revodok also has two devices plugged into downstream USB3 ports: a microphone and a speaker.
I'm using #Fedora42 with #KDE Plasma 6.4.2.
Please #boost !
@vwestlife Yes they did, and I saw them #retail in #Germany at #ConradElectronic but they quickly flopped for two reasons:
1.
The #hinge mechanism made them fiddly to insert into devices, as that design isn't up to #SD spec which expects a ridgid body.
2.
They costed more than an equal-capacity & speed card plus a #cardreader.
3.
Basically everyone who used #SDcard already had a #CardReader and #USB #flashdrives were also cheaper than these things.
The only person I knew that used one was someone who fiddled with an original #RaspberryPi|s a lot and they used it with a USB cable permanently plugged in so they can quickly access the files when the Pi is shut down.
