@FrostyPops I would still recommend it, it's been working perfectly for me with Linux Mint for the last 10 months.
The only issue I've had was that hibernation can cause issues with the screens, so if the lid is closed then opening it can cause the touch screens to fail like I mentioned in the article.
However, as I rarely use that it's not really a problem - I tend to fully shutdown each time.
@acb It doesn't look like it other than it's a HAT so goes on top, so would be compatible with most other cases, as Pimoroni's ones go underneath the PI - the only issue I have with the 2 PI's I have the Pimoroni base on that I can't fit them in a case.
Well the #raspberryPi M.2 hat is installed & it's booting from a 1Tb NVMe drive.
It's a lot less fiddly than the base units I have & there's clearance so it doesn't affect the active cooler.
That said it's a tight fit for the official case & the screws it comes with are too short for the case so you need longer screws to secure it completely.
Also the top is very tight & without those screws it's easy to accidentally remove the hat by accident when powered up if it's used.
I struggle (I think possibly due to my Dyspraxia) getting the wires in the right order when making an ethernet cable and interested if that style would be easier.
@etchedpixels@emmatonkin@rrwo@ocdtrekkie@mcc for a start the posters name is personal identifiable information, so if said user asks to remove it then under gdpr they need to do so
so i got a "sip2sim" eSIM from @aaisp... now my phone connects straight to whatever SIP server i configure (via VoLTE, not an app) instead of going through some awful telco services.
and as a bonus it can roam between EE and O2 so i get much better reception at home.
i'm glad they managed to "un-cancel" this service because it's pretty handy.
@lw@aaisp I need to check if it's a setting on my phone but I've had the latest SIM in my phone since yesterday & I'm thinking it's not roaming from EE & O2, as there's been the odd time I've had no signal but the primary SIM is Giffgaff which is O2 but has had signal.
So far though the new Sims working well as I have it connected to my home PBX (Firebrick).
Testing it right now but good timing as I used the old service for work & I'll be needing it as I'm starting to look for a new job
@TechTangents in the UK some of their case designs were pretty good, e.g. got a desktop but wanted a tower, just rotate the logo & even the 5.25 bay's could be rotated.
@piofthings@aaisp it's a sim card which the phone thinks is a normal connection but the other end is VoIP so you can connect your mobile as an extension like I have, or to a different non mobile number.
