Thank you everyone for the patience during this pandemic as everything is harder and takes more time. Stay strong!

We often get together with our friends for some gaming nights and they always bring with them office laptops or big desktop towers to game on.Since I have a bunch of mini PCs (some of the HUMBLE demo builds) I wanted to put them to use so my friends don’t have to bring with them anything except some drinks and snacks!
