Hello at Midnight!
can I run the brick chinese video streaming cards with it and load a safe linux with it?
I bought a few and then heard that they were probably comped so I just put them to the side. It's a lot of work to wrestle with broken systems. I want one that works out of the box. can I make a USB boot rom for it and bypass any compromised TCPIP subsystems? That chinese suff is all compromised!
I had thought 'I'l get these 12 volt cards and use them for wireless and put in a battery harnass in a back back, and have a cheep walk around linux system. They have HDMI on them. Some of them even have two HDMI. I thought "I'll run apache and use it as a walk around wifi server when I'm doing photoing off in the park, it will serve to pick up my streams.
but the cards were funky. I couldn't just run a linux from a usb as would be normal (should boot and work first time).
and in one of the boards there were wires runing between the chips. I documented the return of htat one. The chinese woman who I dealth with was furious at her distributors (they were pulling something over on her too).
I also stopped using a host of various LED strands that I bought thinking 'these will make cool christmas lights.'.
I decided I couldn't trust them that they were too much power and too raw in how they behave. (they are very pretty when you turn them up full).
30 dollar 4 processor ARM with a whole host of other hardware. Why would I go baby-board with a college board for students when i could run a full fledge Fedora core like a desktop?
think outside your limited putdown radius.
lately I've been trying to up my blender game. I could go back to doing board support packages.
A linux should run from a USB first time or the board is compromised.
the trouble with the boards that the chinese were selling was that they were needlessly root-locked.
there is no purpose in locking the root other than they are doing dishonest things that they don't want you others to know about.
