Next on my shopping list

From Crucial:
mSATA MX200 SSD

From Corsair:
Obsidian Series® 350D Windowed Micro ATX PC Case

From somewhere else:
a PCIe to mSATA adapter, SATA to mSATA adapter or USB to mSATA adapter.

I am still looking for a micro-server with ECC RAM.


There's nothing worthwhile out there.  Nothing stands out.  I don't want all-in-ones like Drobo/QNAP/Synology.


The Dell PowerEdge T20 is a nice one:

What I look for in a micro-server:

1. ECC RAM (a must)
2. Small footprint
3. Fanless (if possible)

Edit: Euro-Dell has additional accessories for the T20s.

Shit that needs to die fast:


Object oriented anything.

What I want to know is what are 8" and below Windows 10 tablet are gonna look like?  And if some are going to be ARM based.

Good old Games can do a proper web store with very few resources.


Microsoft still can't so a proper web store with very large resources.

I just need 2000$+ USD for this 3D Printer For PCBs.

This years' Google Nexuses are way too pricey.

The Nexus 9 is 429,00 $ and up.

And the Nexus 6 is 729,00 $ and up.

How is pricing stuff at upper class prices going to appeal to the mass market?

Other than iPads, Surface Pros and new Nexuses, Tablets suck.  Especially Androids.

Here's the HP Stream 7.  If one looks at the HP support forums, users are complaining about audio problems and slow Wireless Networking when using Bluetooth peripherals.  I blame Intel for that last bug.  Clovertrail tablets and Nucs have terrible Bluetooth drivers.

No one can buy an Android under 200$ that will have upgrades for the next year and a half.  Except for the Nexuses, Android tablets are terrible purchases.  So are most of their phones.

Also why do cheap tablets bother with back facing cameras?  Instead of having two mediocre cameras, why not just put a better front facing that has at least 2 megapixels.  0,3 megapixels is crap for anything.

Oh Skyrim, I just left World of Warcraft to come back to play you.  I had forgotten how badly you were programmed.  You feel like a bad console-to-PC port.

• Select Windowed mode and the game window stays stuck in the left upper corner
• Very unfriendly with dual monitors
• Does not play well with Alt+Tabbing
• The mouse acceleration is slow

Modern PC chassis are built for the 90ies.  Who needs three 5¼ external bays?  We could use thinner and cases with shorter depths.

Chrome OS Switches To "Freon" Graphics Stack To Replace X11

I love articles like this.  Comments are good too.

Oh yes!  Surface Phone I would buy one.

American Dad is probably the only TV I have watched in the last decade.  Thank you Netflix.  Roger is the best alien.  Alf sucks.

Google Chrome is a crashy pos.  The last releases are so buggy.  And the ChromeOS releases haven't been spared problems: wubbly wifi, restore pages in reload is still broken, flash crashing...

Atari MEGA 1

I remember when companies put money in design.  Todays' stuff looks the same.  :(
