I actually bought a similar one with the same CPU. You're not the first to recommend a mini PC with the N100, so it seems like it was the right choice haha.
I didn't plan on paying much more than 100€ because it's replacing my Pi but the one I bought can probably replace both my Pis. I just didn't think about selling the other Pi as well before.
Actually, I found the Firebat T8 Pro Plus, which has an Intel N100, 16gb LPDDR5 RAM and a 512gb M.2 SSD. It's more than 5 times faster than the Pi, has AV1 decoding and a power draw of 27W (not TDP, this number is from independent tests). It goes for 146€ on Aliexpress. It's a little more than 100€ but for what I'm getting here, I think it's worth it.
Just looked around and there are mini PCs for around 130€ with Intel N100 CPUs, which have a 6W TDP, AV1 decoding and they beat an i5 6500T (that one's in a 130€ Dell Optiplex I found on ebay) in single core and gets close enough in multicore. Is there some kind of catch I'm not seeing with that CPU? Because it looks perfect for my use case.
I actually use a dynamic IP and it works pretty well for me, I don't remember having any issues because of that. Also, what happened after those two weeks to your server and how? I've been running my things for over 3 years and I haven't done anything special in terms of security.
Not gonna be able to afford that as a first car but I think that's a reasonable price. Hopefully I'll be able to buy an EV like that after a few years of working. Would be cool if there was an EV I could afford as a first car tho but the used market is probably just not there yet.
If you want to make changes like that, you tell each state they're supposed to e.g. upgrade everyone to fiber and then the local government of each state handles it. I thought that was the whole point of having those states.
True but the issue is that your government isn't doing anything about it. They could e.g. require every gas station to have an electric charger (Will be the case soon in Germany)
I don't know what AI could bring to the table in this case that you can't do without it already. Command completions or fixing typos works without using AI. If there was an actual benefit, I'd be open to try it out but only by using an open source LLM running locally. I'm definitely not creating an account and paying a monthly subscription while not even being able to use it offline.
