I called the VA back and complained about have to wait two months to see someone. What’s the point of the crisis helpline if you have to wait two months for help. I have an appointment on the 27th of this month, just under two weeks away. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A lot of veterans have been reaching out to me, I’ve been to afraid to respond to them. I locked myself away in a hotel this weekend and just worked on technology related items I have, and watched some shows and movies. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nothing has happened yet. Suppose to do intake over the phone tomorrow at 7:30 am. I’ve been having a hard time waking up lately. Even with all my alarms set. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Went to the VA for help, even called the Veteran Crisis Hotline, no one is available to talk to me for two months at the VA Hospital. I told them not to bother scheduling an appointment. Called different services for support for a lawyer, I make to much money to qualify for assistance. I don’t...

To keep everyone updated. I called the Veteran Crisis Hotline this morning. They wanted to put me in a hotel for a week. I didn’t feel I needed it, but it’ll be a nice break. All counselors are booked for over a month at the Ava Hospital. They have given me recommendations for legal aid...

Today I’m at the library watching a movie, checking emails and charging devices including my Bluetti battery Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is the device I’m looking at...

Doing some research on power consumption. My current laptop uses 45 watts per hour. With the external BluRay drive connected is used 53 watts per hour. With my 500 Watt batter that gives me 9.4 hours of continuous use. With an intel computer stick it uses 10 watts per hour on average. My...

I’m definitely getting an intel compute stick. They run on average at 10-12 watts per hour. Just deciding if I want a low end or high end stick. They run from 100 to 300 dollars depending on quality. Been watching YouTube videos of people testing pc sticks out, movies, gaming, they can do...

Sadly the state of BluRay playback on Linux is very bad. You would have to rip the BluRay disc to remove copyright protection and then store the movie on a hard drive. So it looks like I’m back to mini PCs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Raspberry Pi is looking promising and should be cheap to setup. I took a screenshot from this YouTube video A whopping 5 watts of power at max load. Of course many other things need to be researched. What type of USB ports are on a raspberry pi and how much power draw for external devices...
