[234.36 --> 237.66] So I also ordered a one terabyte NVMe stick.
[237.92 --> 242.16] So I've already opened up the yellow once and I've installed an NVMe drive.
[242.34 --> 244.14] I have a quick pile of hardware here, Alex.
[244.14 --> 248.46] Before I get to the yellow, I want to mention what I was going to use.
[249.22 --> 254.54] This is a really cool piece of hardware that's been ruggedized, industrialized, can get into super hot conditions.
[255.00 --> 257.20] And it's an Intel Atom system with quick sync.
[257.48 --> 262.36] It's out of a Tesla solar wall that I picked up on the road trip from a listener.
[262.84 --> 263.36] It's decent.
[263.50 --> 265.32] Like you can even run a full Linux desktop on it.
[265.60 --> 268.10] And it only takes about five watts idle.
[268.52 --> 270.24] So this is where I was considering going.
[270.32 --> 272.62] The only problem with this box, and I'm probably still going to use it.
[272.82 --> 274.08] I love that it's DC.
[274.58 --> 277.32] And it's got two com ports, which is amazing.
[277.72 --> 281.04] Is that an XT60 connector I see on the power cable?
[281.24 --> 281.42] Yeah.
[282.36 --> 283.70] Now I know who gave it to you.
[284.06 --> 284.28] Yeah.
[286.26 --> 289.68] And I'm probably going to use this for something else, but it's such a cool little box.
[289.84 --> 291.98] I thought, okay, I've got an option now, right?
[292.00 --> 293.22] So this was one of my options.
[293.22 --> 295.16] And it's an X86 box.
[295.60 --> 296.22] Good power draw.
[297.68 --> 298.88] Then the yellow arrived.
[299.26 --> 301.22] Now, I have to say I'm very impressed.
[301.40 --> 303.64] I think the home assistant team did a good job with the case.
[304.08 --> 305.46] I've taken it apart a couple of times.
[305.52 --> 306.60] It goes right back together.
[306.72 --> 308.16] I can get access to it really quick.
[308.64 --> 312.16] They have the logo for home assistant ingrained in the casing.
[312.40 --> 313.16] Laser etched up there.
[313.24 --> 313.70] Yeah, it's nice.
[313.80 --> 313.96] Yeah.
[313.96 --> 316.28] And all the ports are on the back.
[316.48 --> 318.40] The compute modules just popped right in.
[318.44 --> 319.86] My MVME popped right in.
[320.24 --> 325.00] I think this is going to be how I will do home assistant in the RV is on a dedicated machine.
[325.22 --> 327.48] I'm going to have a dedicated machine for home assistant.
[328.56 --> 331.60] And I'm going to have an application server for all my other stuff.
[331.78 --> 335.12] So home assistant yellow will run all of the automations and jupes.
[335.12 --> 340.66] And, you know, she's got this yellow has got EMMC for storage for the primary OS.
[340.80 --> 342.40] And they've got MVME expansion.
[342.54 --> 344.98] I don't really know how you use that, but it's in there.
[345.06 --> 350.02] So it's going to give me, I think, I expect at least five years of runway with that device.
[350.02 --> 363.30] But then on your encouragement, and I didn't expect this for like a month, I also picked up the Odroid H3 Plus that they announced shortly after our last episode.
[363.80 --> 367.54] It arrived today just a little bit before the show.
[367.68 --> 368.56] It's still in the packaging.
[368.80 --> 369.88] Oh, you went for the plus, huh?
[370.26 --> 370.68] Of course.
[370.92 --> 371.52] Of course.
[372.20 --> 373.44] Who am I talking to?
[373.54 --> 375.20] Sorry, I forgot myself for a hot second.
[376.50 --> 378.72] Now I'm showing Alex on the camera, but I'll describe it to you.
[378.72 --> 380.10] Check this out, Alex.
[380.16 --> 380.62] Here it is.
[381.02 --> 384.24] It's got two Ethernets.
[384.84 --> 387.96] It's got four USB-A.
[388.12 --> 389.28] It's got USB-C.
[389.68 --> 391.32] DC barrel power connector.
[391.80 --> 395.30] It has audio out ports, including optical audio out.
[395.38 --> 397.76] And it has HDMI and DisplayPort.
[398.28 --> 400.58] Plus, it has an Intel chip on here.
[400.64 --> 402.58] It's got a pretty meaty heatsink on it.
[402.58 --> 408.48] And on the bottom, it's got two slots for RAM and a slot for an MVME disk.
[408.72 --> 413.52] And the killer feature for me, two SATA ports on the board.
[414.04 --> 414.80] That's massive.
[414.90 --> 418.28] That's a game changer for me because I've been using USB storage forever.
[418.86 --> 421.82] Welcome to the world of real hardware, dude.
[421.98 --> 422.22] You know?
[422.30 --> 423.08] I'm so excited.
[423.34 --> 424.26] I'm so excited.
[424.54 --> 425.54] I'm so pleased.
[425.84 --> 426.96] Oh, I think it's going to be perfect.
[427.34 --> 430.02] So this is what will replace my Raspberry Pi 4.
[430.56 --> 433.76] And I'm going to run all my applications and more, right?
[433.80 --> 435.04] Because I've got more horsepower here.
[435.06 --> 436.24] And it's got QuickSync as well.
[436.66 --> 438.44] I got to get some RAM ordered for it.
[438.50 --> 439.76] I didn't expect it to arrive this soon.
[439.78 --> 441.30] So I haven't ordered anything for it.
[441.30 --> 441.94] What type of RAM?
[442.08 --> 444.20] Is it laptop style, the smaller stuff?
[444.38 --> 444.66] Yes.
[444.66 --> 444.88] Yeah.
[444.88 --> 445.08] Okay.
[445.08 --> 445.24] Yeah.
[445.28 --> 446.10] It's the small stuff.
[446.20 --> 447.20] I think it's DDR4.
[447.34 --> 450.36] Do I recall reading that thing will take up to 64 gigs of RAM?
[450.84 --> 451.08] Yes.
[451.16 --> 452.04] I believe that is the case.
[452.14 --> 454.22] I need to, I should have grabbed the specs before the show.
[454.52 --> 455.50] I was so excited.
[455.94 --> 456.68] It's funny, right?
[456.70 --> 460.10] Because when the Pi 4 died, I was like, crap, I don't know what I'm going to do.
[460.18 --> 462.70] I don't, I have nothing I want to replace this with.
[462.74 --> 465.72] I'm like, I guess I could build it around another Pi 4 again.
[465.72 --> 470.02] But then I'm not really going, I'm going through all this work and I'm not getting a performance upgrade.
[470.66 --> 473.58] And then this thing shows up just a little bit after last episode.
[473.70 --> 473.80] Yeah.
