There is the CM3588 board [0] from FriendlyElec. LinusTechTips made a video about it. I just can't find a nice case for it. I've asked MyElectronics about it and they said they would consider making a case if they get enough requests.

Using USB-C for power is great! Smaller power supplies and no more non-standard connectors that are hard to replace.

They don't police it. It is an honesty system. I think limiting internet access is a pointless method because it is so easy to tether to your phone. And you don't have to work online to work there, you can also draw or read.

This [0] cafe in Berlin charges you by the hour. And the first drink is included. Worked really well for me when I was in Berlin. No subscription needed.

That site is a scam. The listed email address does not exist and I have not received a book.

But that Typeform has too many questions.

The owner of the company thinks they are great because you can call them when there is a problem. I'm having a hard time convincing him that these are issues I've never had at other providers. Certainly not so many.

We are moving everything away. Most of our servers are with another provider already. And we haven't had any similar issues there. I've never called them!

And I forgot to mention the connectivity issues at Linode. When the whole London datacenter was unreachable for 2 hours we lost some customers.

I'm disappointed that blogs and podcasts keep promoting Linode. I currently maintain about 30 Linodes and I have been doing so for the past 2 years.

Some things I noticed:

* The internal network is not private. But people don't realise it. You share a /16 with other Linodes. So many open databases, file shares and other services in there.

* Block storage performance is really poor, around 100 iops. Same as a SATA disk from 10 years ago.

* No proper snapshot / image functionality.

* Linode Kubeternetes Engine was based on Debian Oldstable when it launched.

* Excessive CPU steal, even on dedicated cores. 25% CPU steal is considered normal. Over 50% happens a lot.

* Problems with their hosts. I can only guess what the reason is but 4 to 8 hours of unannounced downtime of a VM happend to me 6 times in the past 2 years.

Yes, support is friendly. But my international phone bill is huge because the fastest way to get them to do something is to call.

"The Acer Chromebox CXI4 will be available in North America in Q1 2021 starting at USD 259.99; and in EMEA in Q1 2021, starting at EUR 569."

Does anyone know why Chromeboxes are so expensive outside the US?

How about not using it because AWS doesn't run on 100% renewable energy. Make a $100.000 statement!
