Remix Mini Review: a $70 Android Desktop PC (liliputing.com)

walterbyrd writes: Earlier this year, Jide released a 2-in-1 tablet called the Remix Ultra, which shipped with a custom version of Android called Remix OS. The software features a taskbar, a desktop, support for keyboard shortcuts, and support for running many apps either in full-screen mode or in smaller windows. The Remix Ultra tablet comes with a keyboard cover and touchpad, allowing you to use it like a laptop — and it worked... kind of. But the Remix Ultra is also kind of expensive. Now Jide is offering something much more affordable: the Jide Remix Mini is basically a small, low-power desktop computer that ships with Remix OS. After running a successful Kickstarter campaign to raise money (and awareness) this fall, Jide is now shipping the Remix Mini to customers.

cheap fanless server

[Anonymous Coward]

I've been looking for a cheap low power fanless server that I could host a web server I could ssh into for my family. Think along the lines of managing chores, etc. Is this something that's fit for that task or are there better options (such as something even cheaper)?

GPL Violation?

Was going to load up RemixOS on a VM to try it out, looked at the website found this:

Disclaimer: Remix OS is only licensed to authorized business partners and pre-loaded on specific product models of those partners;it's not intended for personal use.

I know they have their part of the software that doesn't have to be GPL, but the rest has to be released. Scrutinize....
