There are plenty of OCuLink eGPU enclosures available. There are also bare adapter boards if you want to build your own enclosure.
Since it’s just PCIe with a different connector, it’s much cheaper and simpler than Thunderbolt/USB4. It does have a couple of downsides though. It can’t be hot plugged, so the computer has to be shut down to connect or disconnect an OCuLink device and the connector is not designed for a large number of mating cycles.
The Pi Zero 2w will provide more than enough performance to stream a movie over Wireguard.
How much throughput do you need? The Pi Zero 2w will be fine on a DSL or cable connection, but it will limit your bandwidth on fiber.
The higher screen resolution is not a good thing if you want to play games without being plugged in. It will take a lot more power to run games in 1080p than it will in 720p.
So how do you determine if your headphones have the vulnerable chip in them?
Mod Organizer 2 works great with wine and proton. Installation is a bit complicated though. The recent versions of MO2 require wine 9 or newer.
The GPU won’t have any issues encoding several video streams at the same time. That’s not really necessary though. The cameras will do the encoding for you. Just set the bitrate and framerate that you want on the camera and pass that through. Most cameras support two streams, the secondary stream is usually limited to SD though. All of my Hikvision cameras support RTSP. It’s mostly just the consumer grade crap that only works with the manufacturers cloud service so they can spy on you or restrict features whenever they want.
Don’t make the mistake I did and buy any Hikivision stuff from Amazon. They are all grey market and the firmware can’t be updated. I tried to update one of mine and now the user interface is stuck in Chinese. You have to get them from an authorized distributor.
My watch runs for years from a coin cell. There’s no way that I’m replacing it with an internet connected spy device that constantly needs to be charged.
Maybe Steam could just bundle the needed 32 bit libs for Fedora until they can get a 64 bit only version ready.
Edit from MS-DOS still came with Windows XP and I think it was in 7 too. Did they remove it in later versions?
Install RetroPie and turn it into a game console. It’s got plenty of power to emulate a lot of older consoles. You can even connect some game controllers from old consoles to the GPIO pins.
The only real solution is to always keep your source files. PDFs are not intended to be edited.
I just keep all of my music in an NFS share on my NAS and play it with Rhythmbox or VLC. I keep a compressed copy on the SD card in my phone to listen to when I’m not home.
I ran Damn Small Linux on it about 15 years ago. That worked pretty well and it would even run a web browser. It would probably boot Tiny Core Linux, but there wouldn’t be much RAM left to run any programs. The motherboard supports 128MB, but it’s not really worth the cost to upgrade it though.
I may see about resurrecting that computer. I’ve got an old Motorola police radio that I would like to reprogram to operate in the 2M ham band and I think that PC will run the programming software.
It’s certainly not an ideal solution, but it’s an option that will usually work.
I’ve used Optar. It works a lot better than just printing some QR codes. It fits 188 KiB on a sheet of letter sized paper after error correction. It does require a laser printer and a flat bed scanner though.
There are HDMI splitter boxes you can get from China that conveniently strip out the HDCP.
He should hook that control panel up to an emulator and make it work again.
If you only need 2D, there is LibreCAD.
Some MediaTek WiFi cards are not supported. I had to replace one in a laptop.
