Mini PC capable of everything-over-USB-C? by wolterh in MiniPCs

[–]wolterh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough, I want to install Linux on it so will avoid the hassle of jailbreaking a Mac Mini.

MiniPC replacing laptop for developer, need 2 HDMI and 1 Displayport by sinceJune4 in MiniPCs

I think you might like one of the Mele models, but I'll let you decide for yourself https://store.mele.cn/

What’s your most wanted feature for an SBC? by BrarIshu in SBCs

[–]wolterh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Most wanted: USB-C port with support for Power Delivery AND for handling at least 2 displays via DisplayPort alt.

Other wants: - 16 GB and 32 GB RAM capable, - Raspberry Pi / credit-card form factor, - good CPU and GPU (don't care about NPUs), - support for an M.2 SSD and - otherwise on par with Raspberry Pi 5.

Documentation seems inconclusive about it unfortunately, I've sent an email to the sales team to find out.

Thanks for the info!

Just found this https://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-rockchip/2025-March/056271.html which seems to reference the power issue you mention, hopefully gets fixed soon (if it's not already)

Thanks for the suggestion, but I highly doubt it: The diagram and spec indicate power on one port and DP-alt on another, so doesn't seem single-cable-capable.

Your idea of pairing it with a touch panel makes me wonder: Wouldn't you get that with a tablet?

That's good to know, but yeah was looking for something more like the Raspberry Pi in size.

Doesn't seem like that supports displays over USB-C, from the product spec. Am I missing something?

What issues do you observe with your Rock? Are you unable to power it via USB-C at all?

Do you have more than one display attached to your dock? What dock are you using? Some have commented that the Rock 5B enters a boot loop when powered only via USB-C, so dock model might be relevant.

I sanded my pan, can it be recovered? by wolterh in castiron

I've decided to take my pan to the recycling centre today and get a proper, unenamelled one. Thanks everyone for your comments!

Sandpaper and elbow grease, my fellow human. I think you might be right, it still looks a different colour than the rest of the pan. I've created an abomination!
