Intel N 100 vs Raspberry PI 5

-

 The Intro

You may be considering an Intel N100 mini PC over a Raspberry PI, or vice versa, and you would have seen quite a bit of discussions favoring the blue corner, and in the red-corner one feels like game is already over. However ( the 3rd ) mostly geeks are drawn to performance as Kingly or Queenly, and more importantly there are some ethically conscious geeks out there.  This one is for you. The rest is up to your own preferences and choices.

Ethical Considerations

Not part of BDS boycott list, avoids concerns with data being sent to cloud

Part of BDS boycott list due to heavy investment in Israel's economy and military

Some Reflections

Yes, Raspberry PI 5 is not the King of power compared to the N 100, neither is it fit for case where you would want to run it as a mini PC, and run it as a desktop. If you want a desktop version, may be look at AMD alternatives that suits your case.

Imagine your dream home, where intelligent automation works tirelessly and efficiently, reducing power consumption over long hours. More importantly, this home automation system upholds your values and principles, ensuring that it does not support unethical practices or contribute to genocide. Isn't creating a sustainable, ethical sanctuary the essence of the dream home you want to build?

Meaning of Summa Ameen

-
Image
The verbal meaning of Summa Ameen is re-iteration of the first Ameen. The effect of saying Ameen is more than saying dua twise which is explained as below. The letter deliverd by a post man or a courier would have a 'From' address and a 'To' address it would rarely contain a seal, presence of a seal signifies higher priority and importance of the delivered content. So the reader gives more consideration to a letter which has a seal on it. Every dua is our personal letter which is delivered directly to Allah, with immediate effect and no middle man/thing. Prophet said(something similar to) "a dua followed by Ameen is like placing a seal on it".

The Chicken Story- Shawai, Tanduri, BBQ or What?

Thursday afternoon is for friends and family to gather and spend some quality time together; cousins in Dubai get together every Thursday with accessories like coal, grill marinated chicken and kubboos. It is like a celebration with jokes, pokes, fun and barbeque, but first is to find a right place in the desert to settle down. First step is to get fire up coal, that requires skill and patience, next is to place the marinated chicken on the grill. There is no cooking oil used (zero cholesterol) and the chicken cooks in its own oil, each pieces are moved/turned so that the cooking is regular. Alas! The pleasure of sumptuous food. (made at home) Once the chicken is ready everything else is forgotten it’s just chicken and us, The name of the dish was of course a debate, Shawai, Tandoori or BBQ finally we decided to call it ‘chutta kozhi’. Recipe – Chicken marinated in Secret Ingredients for at-least 4 hours. Secrete ingredients:- Lemon/Curd, Mint, Cilantro, chilly powder, tamarind powder,...
