    I think you can get the full Orange Pi kit (Pi + sd + power adapter + case) for around 60 bucks on Amazon. There’s also the option of going with a mini PC, you could find them from around 120 bucks.

    I know you’re not asking for hardware recommendations, but using an old PC may increase your electric bill way more than any of these options, so that’s something to bear in mind.



  • I haven’t had a Samsung phone since Android Gingerbread, but I do have a Samsung TV in my guests room and every time it gets turned on, my pi-hole blocks a lot of traffic under the ads and tracking category, so Samsung’s phones are probably similar.

    I think their screens are really good and they also have 5 generations of foldable devices, more than any other company.

    Still, I wouldn’t buy one because I don’t like their software and they tend to restrict functionality unless you use other Samsung devices. For instance, a Samsung Galaxy watch, even running Wear OS, will not have all the features enabled unless you pair it with a Samsung phone.


  • After reading all the comments I’m thinking it really comes to what you’re able to see. If you see no difference between 60 and 120, good for you, set it to 60 and save some battery. If you’re able to see the difference, like I do, you’ll just enjoy the extra smoothness. I’ve always seen the difference between 60 and 90/120. I think it also comes to the content. For me it’s like this:

    • For videos, whatever refresh rate is ok as long as that was the intent of whoever created it.
    • For games 30 is playable, 60 is good, 120 is beautifully smooth. The type of game will also play a role here. An fps will benefit more from higher refresh rates.
    • For moving UI elements 30 is unusable, 60 is ok, 120 is really comfortable.

    TL;DR Some people will see it, some people won’t. Do whatever works best for you.

    I like to use the ones includes in oh-my-zsh. It’s a big list, but the ones I use the most are:

    gst --> git status

    gcam --> git commit -am

    gcp --> git cherry-pick

    gsta --> git stash save

    gstp --> git stash pop

    gpsup --> git push --set-upstream origin $(git_current_branch)

    grb --> git rebase
