Yep, I’m familiar with the surface, but not other options. I need to check these out as I’ve been looking for a replacement for my laptop that isn’t really suited for the video encoding I’m doing.
Thanks.

Which ones are not arm ? I know the surface is a good example.
A table is typically an ARM based platform, so using MS products like visual studio can be a challenge, but there are web versions that help.
I think video encoding isn’t too polished on tablets as it is on a Linux/Windows PC .
I don’t know all the use cases where a table doesn’t work, but they do exist.
A tablet doesn’t cover all use cases for college work, but I suppose with the push for cloud computer instances this could actually work.
If you go to engineering school, you’ll need a computer eventually to run various software. I’m not sure about other degrees however.
I recommend getting 1x16g and then getting another 16g when you have some more cash.
You can run Windows in a VM or try wine.
Same. I descale mine every few months, my water is hard 💪
What do you use to heat up the water?
As I’m lazy, I went electric.
Opened a Single Origin Costa Rica from whole foods. 26 Grind on Encore ESP, did both aeropress and V60. It’s a nice light roast, but nothing amazing.
I’m running jellyfin docker container on my Synology. Works great, but I don’t transcode. … Which is another rabbit hole.
I haven’t seen this, but I like that there are more options for whole bean in general at stores.
I’m hosting on a Synology, but not transcoding.
It’s likely more affordable to host a second jellyfin server on a desktop that is used for transcoding vs getting a NAS with the hardware.
As also mentioned you may not need to transcode unless you want to down mix to reduce bandwidth when not home. For those cases I would recommend you use handbrake and have multiple versions of the content at different resolutions/codecs as needed. Yeah it’s work.
The majority of issue I have when running locally is audio codec compatibility. So I use ffmpeg to reencode and remux my mkvs with the new audio stream. (Typically eAC3)
I read an article somewhere about this years ago… Maybe even back in 2010. What’s new this time?
