My portable vacuum cleaner has died... Again. Breaking out some new tools to have a tinker. LTT / LMG has sent me pretty much all of its screwdrivers for review on bigl.es They've got no input on the review and I turned down any form of payment. Looking forward to fixing stuff and reporting to you.

Some regrettable personal news:

As of ~45 mins ago I am no longer employed. I'm still trying to find my bearings, but would be gateful for whatever leads y'all have.

(I will say more in a bit, once I actually have the time to spare)

Powering a Raspberry Pi 1 web server using the USB port on my DIY NAS build. Yeah, I'm scared too :) Hope to reveal more over the next week.

And just in case you need a review to help your purchase decision. https://www.tomshardware.com/raspberry-pi/the-dream-of-a-raspberry-pi-laptop-becomes-a-reality-argonone-up-review
I still use mine, the CM5 is a powerful platform. But the cost of a CM5 really ramps up the initial outlay. That said, you *should* be able to upgrade to a CM6 if it uses the same connector pinout.
