With the forced upgrade to windows 11 a lot of older mini PCs are getting flooded on to ebay. A little i3 or i5 7th gen with be massively faster then a pi. Plus sips power when idle and completes tasks quicker
I remember my first custom ROM on a HTC and it was amazing ! Soooo fast, new features etc.
Samsung s3 was pretty good & really fast,
s8 was ok but it did make the camera crap.
S10 really quite bad camera plus thanks to google play stuff I can't run most of my tasker stuff.
I still use 3.5mm headphones, aux cables etc so that will be the deciding factor in my next phone. If I can run a custom ROM thats a bonus in my eyes (tho if the camera is bad I'll go stock)
I mean you can cook on an cars engine exhaust (tho good luck finding a place now they the engine bay is just plastic covers) or cook a fish in a dishwasher (wrapped in tin foil)
What res is that monitor ? My 2k monitor is pretty hungry compared to my old 1080. Even just looking at the uk energy efficiency ratings for 4k tells shocks me !
Being a uk person its cause they can & its also in to building / electric code.
Its just a switch that breaks the live leg, stops sparking when plugging in stuff.
Yeap, unless its a old skool sign up form, even then its pretty much an echo chamber
