Failures, failures... ===================== It seems like my Intel Compute Stick (Ubuntu version) failed. It's fan does not start and there is no image nor network activity. It's more than 2 years old so it is probably normal that it failed. So I have to do some re-arrangement of my home office: * moved the unfortunate Compute Stick out * displaced the printer (which failed few days ago) * moved the Power Mac 6100 out (I was started 2 times in last 3 years so it does not make any sense to have it readily available) * installed the Lenovo X61s to the place freed by the printer The Lenovo X61s is not in a perfect condition but I have to use it as a Stick replacement for secure WWW and to interface some of modern USB devices. It's actually faster than the Stick (Core2Duo vs Atom) and it has bigger RAM (4GB vs 1 GB), not mention the storage (128 GB SSD vs 8 GB of something strange in the Stick). So performance-wise is should not be a downgrade. But the computer is not new and I have no idea how long it will work. The only problem is that at the moment I have no working printer available (even not a text-only one).
