    My old laptop is coming up on a decade old, and I want to turn it into a shop computer that runs my various printers and lasers, maybe a cnc mill/lathe one day.

    Currently it’s just sitting next to everything, waiting to be turned on again, but I don’t want to do too much until I get it into some kind of protective casing. Shop duty is rough on computers…

      Today I revitalised an old gaming pc to be an image backup server. Looking forward to having more fun with it

      Yeah I bought a little Lenovo tablet as a shop machine, basically to be FreeCAD But In the Yard box, and it’s working okay, could be better.
