i have a Windows 10 PC that is the size of a cellphone actually it's smaller but heavier and runs hot it has WIFI HDMI Ethernet and USB it's the only one with Ethernet i could find
i haven't looked for a Linux one yet
if i could get one with the 3 ports HDMI Ethernet USB
if it could be a rasberry pi with Squeak and Scratch that could be nice would that be nice? or would just straight Linux be best i guess i could just stick Linux on the Windows 10 device And squeak and scratch or anything else so I've got the ports i like HDMI Ethernet USB in this device and i can stick Linux squeak scratch on there lots of different ways so i guess you just get the ports you like and then you can stick anything else on there you want it doesn't have to remain Windows 10
i would like to make a tomatoe growing robot that hanging tomato growing unit has been sitting there for a decade unopened we don't have enough sunlight to make it work grow light i guess just a rasberry pi in a plastic box would work for that
if that could connect to a HDMI Ethernet USB device via Ethernet could that work? would that be good? is there some other way? that people use can squeak/scratch talk to squeak/scratch via Ethernet ? wifi?
so i guess i could use one of these $140 piTops to run the tomatoe robot
but i kind of think i would rather have a pocket pi Linux running a monitor and keyboard and just run the Ethernet cable over there to the robot every now and again or wifi to it i guess but we seem to get a lot of wifi interference
probably connecting piTop to a pocket Linux or even a pocket Windows via wifi or USB or Ethernet using sockets would be easiest yes it's the communication part i have never tried yet sockets? and it would be so cool
maybe i could even get my wife in on it she did Smalltalk in college before she entered into the dark side
i don't know the mechanics but i guess i have access to a kid who knows that
so basically it's just a failure to communicate that stops it

that's very nice
personally i want just a small pocket sized box with more RAM + HDMI , USB , Ethernet , power like a pocket Linux PC
I think we call them ‘cellphones’ these days?
