What's your 'I can't believe I self-hosted that' service?
Honestly it's working good, a bit rough around the edges. I built it because I really don't like Android. The lack of control, software support abandonment, etc, have driven me to work towards eradicating Android from all my devices. So atm we have these Mini PCs, they were £160 no RAM no SSD. Beast

Gmktec k12 vs k8 plus
Hi, I am from Netherlands here, I ordered my GMKTec K12 from Aliexpress (Local+) shipped from France with FedEx. I didn't pay any customs clearance, also the seller confirmed to me before that I don't have to pay anything extra, I received it in less than a week. Beside that, I find it strange there

Advice on a gaming "console"
Most of the 780m iGPU minis have performance similar to or slightly above that of a steam deck out of the box. Beyond that it just kinda depends on brand preference and quality, I/O layouts, etc. I test-drove a K8plus as my first mini PC along with GMKTec's all-in-one eGPU and it was GREAT for a fir

GMKtech K12 - some info that might be helpful
The least you could have done is benchmarking your NVME M2 SSD, things like "i don t trust this , i don t feel like" are not Tech argument. Same goes with the RAM, you could have benchmark its performances and then draw some conclusion.btw TSMC is the best processor manufacturer period, i didn t kno

Is $699 a fair price for this miniPC? Based on the Specs (i3-N300, 16GB LPDDR4, 4x NVMe Bays, 2.5GbE Port)
GMKtec makes great gear. I have a more modest model, the M6 Ultra Ryzen 5 7640HS, and I'm really happy with it. My next one will definitely be a K12 or something similar

Mini-PC recomendations for up to ps3
I actually have both a ser5 max and a gmktec k12. I run batocera on the ser5 and played some lighter ps3 games on it with no issues. But haven't tried any of the heavier ones like Fallout 3 or The Last of Us. The gmktec k12 runs retrobat and no issues at all with any ps3 games that I've tried includ

Is the 890M good for the latest AAA games?
I think you will have more options starting in 2027 and into 2030 and for now you should get a mini that doesn't break the bank to hold you over til then I got a gmktec k12 and I have no regret, I am happy with my choice

pfSense build on a Protectli FW6E with VLANs and dual WireGuard failover - looking for feedback
The protectl is a good machine and supported by a US-based warranty. They are responsive in my experience. But you’ll pay a premium for it. Around the holidays I picked up a GMKtec K12 for ~$300 for pfsense. It’s worked well. But looks like prices have 2x.

Which one of these PCs do you think is the best of the three?
The Blackout Computers has an i7 4790 (released in 2014, discontinued in 2017) with DDR3 memory and that CPU has nowhere near the performance of the other two (it is about one quarter the performance of the 7940HS). It is not Windows 11 compatible, although there are ways around that. This is a new
