You are aware the primary reason NK hasn't been wiped out is because their traditional artillery would kill hundreds of thousands in Seoul in a few hours right. It has less to do with nukes than you think.

NK doesn't have the slightest chance of winning a conflict against even a weak secondary power. They can just make sure SK loses too.

But then they don't get to feel morally righteous without thinking about any of the ramifications!

In that case (pun intended), your best bet would probably be to try to find a NUC (or similar) that supports expansion. I think I remember seeing some that did, but it's been a few years since I've looked into that market. I know intel stopped making them first party, so it might be a pain in the ass to find now

Can't say I've gone around asking people, but from what i gather people don't usually wipe before hand because you (usually) don't need to. Just spray and dry

Ooh you got any more insults?

Could you? Probably. Should you? Probably not.

Realistically unless you're up for spending at minimum of a couple hundred bucks, you're not going to get a true mini-pc (unless you want to buy a NUC or something, but that kinda defeats the purpose). Any mini-itx case you'd want (<14L) is going to be around the $100 mark on the cheap end. Unless you really luck out and find a compatible used motherboard on the cheap, youre looking at another $100 minimum. Could get a used 4600g for ~$65, but it's probably not going to come with a cpu cooler if it's used. Add in a power supply that fits, that's another $140 on a good day.

Small form factor PCs are stupid expensive because it's a fairly niche market that very few people absolutely need.

What I'd personally do is find a used dell inspiron or similar for <$150 and toss that all in it

Alto , 7 months ago to technology in Intel's comeback appears on track — CEO Gelsinger says 18A process node performance is 'a little bit ahead' of TSMC's N2, but Intel's process arrives a year earlier than TSMC's

The guy could be the king of England and I wouldn't care. I don't care what he has and has not hyped in the past. Believing a single word that comes out of a CEOs mouth about a product without any proof is just foolish.

If someone's punched you in the face and robbed you blind the last 15 times you invited them over, do you think the 16th time is gonna be different?

Except they're not promising anything other than "it's ahead". What does that mean? Only the node size is smaller? Peak performance? Performance per watt? "It's ahead" doesn't mean anything of substance and gives him all the legal leeway in the world.
