Can't believe work told me to throw away this cute little fucker because "it doesn't support windows 11"

bastards, this thing makes for a perfect infoscreen player if only you weren't snorting microsoft dust all day long

when the product page was still live, this NUC had DIN rail mounting listed as a feature, but the official instruction manual just tells you to zip-tie it to a DIN rail 😭😭😭😭

@sogga The thing already ran Linux. They were just unwilling to update Debian instead of replacing the whole thing with Windows 11.

The fuckers even lost the power adapter for it

@Loyal Well, probably not. It's great for a number of things, but graphics performance is its worst point.

It has an internal SSD slot, included a wifi kit and is fanless. It's much better off for some embedded task like running scripts, services or well, running a slideshow on a display in an industrial area, which is what we used it for.
