  • i7 (mobile processor) with the built in Intel gpu. 16G ram. 120G ssd. It’s an optiplex. They’re pretty cheap on Amazon / ebay as refurbs. I bought it for the processor. Bought and upgraded the ram and ssd separately. I just have kodi on it (on Linux Mint). Everything is stored on my synology, which has an m.2 ssd cache. My TV is only 2k, so I haven’t tried pushing any higher res stuff. I was surprised a few years ago when I started playing h.265 videos. No issues playing it at all. I didn’t upgrade the ssd at first, but noticed the box got pretty hot by the end of a movie. That upgrade dropped the temp in the box a good bit. I don’t think I’m pushing it much. It just gets warm a little and utilization remains under 50%. The box is really snappy too.

    It’s all fake! They’re not truly selling more.

    CCP pays huge subsidies to the company to produce electric cars… Enough to cover the cost of manufacturing. They can’t sell them because there’s too many, they’re too expensive, unreliable, and unusable in many parts of the country. So the company “sells” them to fake buyers, then dumps the cars. There are thousands and thousands of new electric cars roting in rural fields in China. The scandal broke last year. Some whistle blowers provided some documented proof and a bunch of photos and videos of vast fields of new electric cars that we’d consider EPA super fund eligible sites due to the chemicals leeching from the roting cars.
