ServeTheHome: This NUC does not Suck

tl;dw Panther Lake SoC is a decent CPU with a very good GPU and NPU. with 18A, power consumption is good. plus: 2x DDR5 SODIMM, 2x m.2, 2x 2.5GbE.

@bjoern @homelab Lenovo ThinkCentre Mini? I quite like them and they can usually be found quite cheaply on eBay (eg, £50-60 for a 700 with an i5 6500T/8GiB/256GB SSD).

Patrick from #ServeTheHome with a new TinyMiniMicro video on Lenovo's new generation 2 ThinkStation P3 Tiny ... there's a lot crammed into a tiny 1-liter package!

Patrick from ServeTheHome with an update on some developments at the low end of the 10-gigabit Ethernet ecosystem:
* a new low(er) power Realtek chip which consumes 2-3 watts and only requires PCIe gen4 x1
* a couple small fanless #10GbE switches for $300 or less
Arm Comes to Project #TinyMiniMicro: Lenovo neo 50q Tiny QC

tl;dw: last-gen Qualcomm CPU, soldered memory, poor Linux support
Patrick from #ServeTheHome tours the #Mikrotik HQ and contract manufacturing facility in Latvia, EU
#ServeTheHome takes a look at the first 1-liter PC to (unofficially) support 128GB of RAM, the Lenovo M75q Tiny Gen5.
reviewed unit has an AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 8700GE processor, 35 watt TDP.
overall a very promising Proxmox box, only stumbling blocks are that it still ships with 1Gbps ethernet, and SATA is no longer supported.
done reading #ServeTheHome
they dig into WAY too much highend enterprise shit, just do not give a fuck anymore.
I wish they did more SOHO / homelab / small business level content again. Something ACTUALLY interesting.
If anyone knows of a tech site that covers gear/releases/reviews from companies like MikroTik/Ubiquiti/similar-tier stuff, I'd love to know.
Not to mention they fucked over RSS readers by shoving the entire article into just a link now. And their captcha form is broken. done.
