  • On the first option: I wasn't suggesting all of that. The Ethernet seems to be able to run video signal and USB signal - maybe on one cable and maybe on 2 cables. So you're just talking about a cat6 to HDMI/USB adapters and a monitor and a USB hub/ keyboard/ mouse in the shop, and a regular PC and adapters in the office. 500 feet of burial rated cat6 is around $160.

    I was just offering another potential solution - no need to get snarky. If you need the power on your device, or you don't want to fuck around with transferring files back and forth, that seems like a better option. But like I said initially - I haven't done this - I just know that others have and it might be worth checking out.

  • Taking the opportunity to tell about https://www.donorschoose.org/
    Local teachers asking for help buying supplies for classrooms. With prices and item lists so you know where it's going.

    Also it's a great way to check out disparities in education. The low income school is asking for erasers and pencils and carpets for kids to sit on, and the rich school is asking to buy iPads to replace the old iPads.

  • Another option is to just have a big ass cable for HDMI and USB and have the actual computer hosted somewhere less dusty, like a office. Linus tech tips did a few videos talking about sending the computer signals from a gaming room out to a server rack and back. That could be the cheapest and most flexible option.

    1. talk to a doctor. Make sure it's a twist and not anything broken. It can take a day or two for extent of injury to be seen. You don't want a mishealed foot that has to be broken again to heal properly.
    2. if you don't listen to above, get crutches and stay off it.
