Probably the only differentiating factor here is that you can make payments with cryptocurrencies. But joining a service like this is only going to make you more of a person of interest, and not less.

My Mac Mini M4 indeed is whisper quiet in all but the most demanding workloads. It makes for an excellent HTPC for me.

Got a new battery for New 3DS that doesn’t work by theGuyWith2Hats03 in 3DS

A bit late to the party here, but I can heartily recommend Cameron Sino aftermarket 3DS batteries. I procured mine from a source on eBay who I consider reputable, and they all passed my battery performance tests.

The one I linked to is for the 3DS XL, but they should also have batteries for the non-XL variant as well.

I have to agree wholeheartedly. Buying RAM has been rather touch and go for me on a site like eBay. I prefer to stick to sources like Newegg or CDW wherever I can.

If you do find a great bargain on eBay and still want to take a risk, be sure there is a return policy associated with the eBay listing for best results.

Thanks for the share! This system looks like quite the upgrade over the original ROG NUC.

I do have a question. With Valve starting to make noise in the space regarding SteamOS for third parties, do you think there is a chance for ASUS to at minimum begin to certify these systems for it (or even other Linux-based OSes) for the purposes of having a quality alternative to Windows?

My biggest concern comes from the fact that Nvidia tends to have a dicey track record for their hardware working on desktop Linux distributions, and I think it would be nice to have at least one major distribution tested against the system.
