I see your point but you can call out China's Uyghur genocide while still being against forced labor in other parts of the world.

I'm not really sure how it would harm your network if you used an image like Armbian or one of the other respected aarch64 images for it.

I do too. I'm currently using an original Radxa Zero 2GB as a CoreElec media player and with PoE having one less wire would be quite nice.

For watches I like GymRun. I don't take my phone into the gym and the watch functionality mirrors the mobile app on my Samsung and on my Garmin when I had one. Sets, reps, routines, rest time, etc. The main drawback for me is it doesn't sync with Strava natively so I have to sync with S Health which syncs with Strava. Logging your routine is necessary with progressive overload, and this beats pen and paper.

I started using Frigate and thought about going the Coral route but realized you didn't need them if you have a relatively recent Intel CPU (6th gen or newer) as OpenVino with the iGPU is pretty much on par https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/discussions/5742 .

A lot of the newer SBCs are being shipped with integrated NPUs/TPUs now as well. I would get a Coral if I were to use an older SBC or RPi or older PC as a camera server for object detection. Currently I have an ESP32-CAM watching a bird feeder but that feed goes to a modern server for bird species recognition but I could see a Coral as an option.

Marc Singer isn't much younger at 76.

Check out the sidebar. @dragontamer@lemmy.world has written some great guides that should answer your questions. Here's the first one to get you started https://lemux.minnix.dev/post/10943

Are you asking what are microcontrollers in general used for or what this particular microcontroller is used for?

Many SBCs will boot from NVMe via USB. Check out Armbian's tool armbian-install https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/#how-to-install-to-emmc-sata-nvme-usb. There's too many SBCs to list that are capable. Also keep in mind the power to run an SSD and what power your USB connection has available. You may need to use a powered hub. If you have a budget in mind that would help to narrow down your choices.

Agreed. I have either repurposed or gutted and saved components for later from so much of this "garbage".

Thanks, this should be an interesting watch.
