  • i225/i226 have documented HARDWARE issues so realtek probably is the best way to go.
    So I'm running opnsense inside proxmox

  • Hate to say it man that was a kitchen controller the "Bump 1" Gave it away

  • Hate to tell you but the 'g' in gnome is silent.

  • I have an old mystery PC sitting around similar to that one. It was a behind the monitor office PC, though. I just know it's old.

  • Hmmm wonder how well one of these would work as a controller for a CNC Router or similar

  • You should run everything openEuler 24.03 LTS Everything os on it. I believe that is what these small PC are good for running Linux or os in hardware environment.

  • Just a suggestion: Run BOINC on it with whatever project strikes your fancy. If you don't mind the power draw, you'll be helping research, education, and other worthy causes. I'm running it on an old HP Netbook with Raspberry Pi desktop OS. Because of the limited 2GB RAM, I've set it to only a single project (World Community Grid). Just boot it up and fuggetaboutit.

  • no boost guage on your team mate name bar. hmm

  • In the restaurant industry IT technology was slow as molasses in winter for many many years. 1980s programable cash registers/ordering systems stayed in use for nearly 25 years. Even when new stuff started coming out, the industry was soooooo slow to adopt it simply because changing out IT solutions across 200 – 7000 locations is a huge undertaking.

  • ACTUALLY, I do game some on similar stuff, a Fujitsu Futro S920, with ram, msata, and gpu upgrade.
    No modern titles, but I use it as a "home entertainment", plugged on the TV in the living-room. Browsing, youtube, watching movies, series offline, retro games ( newest are 12-15 year old titles).
    BUT upgrade is on the way, S940, with the Pentium Silver j5005 (intead the AMD GX-415GA), and DDR4 ram (instead DDR3). GPU was and stays, at least for a while, a GT1030 DDR4, 2G, passive.

  • With all of the extra ports it would make for a good OOB serial device for network devices that uses the serial port.

  • At the hardees i work at, our bump pc run linux, the dt timer runs win 7 and the recently upgraded server runs win 10 and I believe the dt menu boards run linux as well, i have the old server at home and using it as a file/ media server and that's running win 7

  • I recently bought an used industrial PC on eBay. It was full with remote control configurations (Many VNC connections to subsystems and a lot of very specific light management software) , including IPs and some account data to Austria's national theatre. They did not bother erasing the SSD .. well I did then, because I had more important stuff do to than to abuse the situation.

  • This CPU, J1900, is part of a range which contain a silicon bug called LPC CLK degradation. Countless devices failed after about 3 years (for example NAS devices from QNAP). The fact that this device still works after more than 3 years is probably because it was designed not to rely on LPC to boot (there are some bootstrap pins which indicate SPI or LPC boot).

  • I had not heard of Marco's until recently, and looking at their locations map it appears it is yet another franchise that completely avoids the Northeast
