I bought a cooler tray for it.

But I painted a sunny day on the insides of my eyelids

I have googled it... I hadn't seen any yet.
Looks pretty "cool"

I'm actually considering a mini/micro pc with a mobile monitor. I hate laptop keyboards and mousepads with a hot passion, so they are just a waste of space for me. I am willing to box up my keyboard and mouse for travel, so this seems like a nice alternative, especially since I almost never need to work on battery power. The only downside is that the only mobile monitors I've seen are all 15.6" and no bigger. Of course, when home, I would connect my extra-wide monitor, but I would really like to have something bigger to travel with than 15.6" diagonal.

I almost got one of those, but the GPUs were lackluster, and the good performers were all AMD, and I'm more about Intel these days. I think the Intels running at higher wattages don't lend themselves to mini PCs, although I may end up getting one eventually to leave at my sister's place. They have plenty of monitors there for when I come over.

Well, I'd only use it for coding, word processing, and MineCraft, so it's likely plenty for my needs. My laptop is so old and I'm concerned about losing stuff in the near future as well as eos on apps.

I'm disturbed that you had laptops stolen 3 times and you dropped one.

2 of the times were essentially my fault.

Non-programming questions, but I have some really high level questions to ask.
Here is where I am: Microsoft and Helicopters Joke[^]
Everything I am reading is technically correct, but for elephant's sake I cannot determine what MS is offering. I come from the land of CE and WEC, so I have that perspective.

While we're piling on. (Or I am anyway). I just finished up syncing my POS employee schedules with google calendars which was straight forward enough. Then I turned my sights to outlook. The examples on the web to get a service Client was very similar to google and square but as of early 2023 had been replaced with an abstraction layer in Microsoft.Graph 5.x <- (this is more pretentious as the 'Visual' was) that made my head spin. Fortunately for me I could back rev the Microsoft.Graph to 4.5x where thing were more sane and I succeeded.
They aren't happy unless they can make you jump through more hoops. Notice how there are more clicks required to do in win 11 that you would do in 10?.
I could go on but I'm probably wronger than right and crankier than most.

MS programmers must be paid by the click.

Okay, coming from an IoT background, I'm curious what Microsoft even offers in that regard, except for that micro .NET runtime (which I don't recommend using)
Frankly, I'd suggest going the route of something arduino based to start out with and then branch out from there.
If there are people adopting Microsoft's IoT technology, whatever it is, they aren't making much noise about it.

MS has never been good at hardware going back to the overpriced mouse of ancient times. Figures they would try their hand at IOT.

Okay, most of my MS posts are sarcastic or evil rants. This is actually an honest question.
I've spent many years developing and supporting CE and WEC7 products. Both were designed to cull out items your application did not need - goal was small footprint. I have CE and WEC7 images that will easily fit on a 256MB compact flash.
Fast forward to today, and about all I can figure out is that there are three licensing schemes. I'm looking at a panel as a replacement candidate, but the vendor ships it with Windows 10 IoT Enterprise etc. GB of used space.
Is it possible to reduce the size?

Shoot, So you're talking about the old WinCE platform?
It was a thing when I was at Microsoft, but I never worked on it directly.
You said IoT, and I'm usually thinking kilobytes of RAM and flash space, and often sub 32-bit processors.
WinCE is embedded kinda, but I wouldn't necessarily consider it IoT, as it's a bit heavy.
Then again, I could be off in the way I have everything sort of categorized in my head. I don't think of Raspberry Pis as IoT devices either, but rather, small PCs.

Fair enough. Where I consult, WinCE has been in use since 2000. I got started with CE 4.1/4.2, the next set of devices used 5.0, and the current device(s) are stuck on Windows Embedded Compact 7. We still have original systems from 2006 in the field.
Most of the people who did application development as well as Microsoft folks are gone. Other careers, retired or... Post on an MS forum CE or WEC7 questions, and I'm immediately informed those products are EOL - please upgrade. Hence looking at options. Your point is valid about smaller devices - we normally spin our own controllers and a few years back rolled out browser based HMIs. No more Windows.
In any event, Microsoft actually calls this Windows 10 IoT. Either type of license still has a large foot print.

The plot thickens - now I need to look into Embedded Linux. Seems our OEM has abandoned CE as well. Ne real surprise, but I have some learning to do.
