    CPU with thermal paste applied in hexagon shapes. Looks a bit weird because I removed the normal CPU bracket and installed one that just screws down. On some sockets the cpus were bending because of the way the bracket applied pressure. The one I installed is completely even.





  • Inkscape is one of the better open source UIs IMO. There’s a lot to learn about vector vs raster graphics but that’s not the fault of Inkscape.

    Gimp took a while to figure out.

    Blender has got the be one of the steepest learning curves out there though. Not that the UI for Blender is bad. It’s just that there are 5-6 different sections and each section is like learning a new app. It’s huge and does everything.

    I bought one not really knowing what I’d use it for.

    • So far the bluetooth keyboard has been the most useful.
    • I have a Co2 sensor on the GPIO for monitoring air quality.
    • Been using it to try and locate IR codes for a sound bar I lost the remote to.
    • I used it for remote shutter release on my DLSR.

    Device seems well built and there’s a huge community with lots of development so always something else to use it for.
