Transfers

gollark: Technically, by weight, it's probably mostly metal casings and then the weird fibreglass stuff PCBs are made from.
gollark: (I plan to maybe switch over to an RK3588 SBC of some kind when they come out though. Basically the same performance on way less power. Very impressive.)
gollark: My own server is a generation behind that, and that was just randomly lying around for free?
gollark: In general.
gollark: A few weeks ago someone on Hackaday apparently had a VAST quantity of batteryless Windows tablets and I wanted some of them for things, but nooooooo, it costs *money* to ship things.
