I don’t know what your financial status is, but a nice Synology NAS unit is a terrific investment. I’m really happy with the one I got a while back.

I also wasn’t aware of that, so thanks!

A thousand upvotes for you, my liege, for beating me to the punch! 🙇‍♂️¹⁰⁰⁰

Morale. Just fyi sincerely not being snooty :-)

It’s definitely click fodder like 99.99999% of today’s content. That’s where we’re at because many years ago we let the pigs into the palace.

Elementary OS, or something like Garuda or Debian with either Gnome or KDE desktops.

Just seeing the main image in the post, immediately made me think of Lands of Lore!

Ah… yeah I forgot. My bad.

Looks phenomenal.

I was recently so excited to discover Fortress Forever also, which is the old TFC game. I dominated in that.

Swimming Nougat.

Did I do that right?

Exactly. And as I said in another comment, you can make a wrapper for it if their website is not the most mobile-friendly. Any browser can handle everything beneath the skin.

Well, they all have standard web interfaces, and so many apps are merely wrappers for it or a rebuilt front-end. On a Linux device one would presume you’ll have a standard web browser so all you need really is a wrapper for the website and the browser engine handles all security. Is there any reason not to just go that route?

Sorry for tangent, but I was wondering is there a sort of playful version of this community that’s like what is this thing, where a person posts something unusual looking, and except then everyone has to contribute something entertaining that’s obviously not real. Like something funny describing and/or giving a name for it?

Seems like that would be kind of fun. Or is that just acceptable in this community for laughs?

Gosh darn critters ‘n varmints everywhere lol.

Classic! I remember seeing this one in the first book in which it appeared. I think Gallery 1 perhaps.

Thank you, again, for the info. I’ll check out those links. I appreciate it.

Thanks this is what I am looking for because everyone else misunderstood that I could run software on the tablet to “host” it. I think there’s some limitation of the USB architecture that makes what I want not really possible except with some very specific computers. I understand it but at the same time I don’t understand why. You can’t output raw signals to USB in a way that something on the other end will just hear that data as pure data. There needs to be some kind of mutual agreement on protocol at the fundamental level, if that’s a sloppy way to phrase it.

Thanks I’m gonna look into this because it might be worth a small investment to be able to do this going forward with other devices.

I appreciate your reply. You got what I was asking for. I realize I was not explicit about the unique nature of my needs but you got it.

It’s not an anything tablet it’s x86 CPU architecture can run pretty much anything. Originally had a sluggish Win10 but I managed to install a Linux distro. But the idea is to do it without any software on the tablet to run, like even to bring up the BIOS.

Makes sense. It was a shot in the dark.

Could it be at some point in the past, the car was booted and when it was removed, this component was negligently left behind? Would explain it being only at one wheel, and a front one.
