Orange Pi needs to go back into the oven.

July 20, 2024December 18, 2015 by S-Config

Orange Pi - Is it ready for the world?

We received the Orange Pi (Or OrangePi) because like many Pi users, I am always looking for something faster to run emulators and games within the ARM-based universe. Emulation on the Raspberry Pi is good but lags a little for the more CPU intensive emulation like Nintendo 64 as just one example. When Orange Pi initially released their $15 (plus 3 dollar shipping from auction site ali-express) dollar computer featuring a quad-core based arm7 processor at around 1.6ghz. It was certainly worth a try.

Web Isolation – State of the config – fonts and more

February 14, 2025December 8, 2015 by S-Config

Web Isolation, fonts, and the overall state of config that is "S".

It's been a while since I did an update on my website and I want to talk about Web Isolation. Work and being a responsible human being is a brutal thing. There isn't a whole lot of personal blogging that goes on here because I don't think there's anything all that interesting to say about "S-Config" as a person. Instead, I just want to focus on the data instead. And I think everyone agrees it's a way better move. I suppose lets talk about the first aspect of what I have been doing with this Blog which is:

WEBM, OGV, and MP4 – WordPress video

July 2, 2024September 28, 2015 by S-Config

Encoding with WEBM, OGZ, and MP4 and wordpress title.

WebM and the things WordPress was hiding from me.

Originally, I was going to an article on just WebM and the advantages it gives me in WordPress. But as I looked at the logs on my server and WordPress still has a lot of work to do on their video insertion plugin.

Banana Pi Case Mod v2

October 31, 2019September 15, 2015 by S-Config

Banana Pi the Case Mod edition:

In the spirit of my previous blog post dealing with I-Pac mod It's time the Banana Pi gets a face-lift with a new case mod. The reason why I'm doing this comes down to a lot of things that all boil down to the fact that my needs from this unit changed a lot over the years. This blog is just a minor update of what we have been doing in between jobs.

The Six Ouyas

August 23, 2021May 16, 2015 by S-Config

Six Ouyas chilling on eBay - AS-IS.

It was brought to my attention that there was a guy on ebay selling a lot of six Ouyas as-is and I said "why not? let's see whats going on with them". And now I have officially received my Six Ouyas for parts on eBay. The final price I paid for six broken Ouyas was $14.00 + $24.99 S&H from Canada to the US Midwest. I thought it would've gone for a lot more, to be Honest but glad I got it for so low! Anyhow; Allow me to dig into these. As a repair tech, I am super excited about these and am very interested in how Ouyas break and to actually learn from some of these units in the hopes of helping others.

KingRoot a Virus?

November 10, 2022April 28, 2015 by S-Config

Is the kingroot apk really a virus?

It has come to my attention today with the help of my web admin that there was an APK that I allowed for download to people's Ouya consoles on my site called KingRoot. That will no longer be available here. Continue reading if you want to hear more.

Lithium Battery charging fun.

June 8, 2023March 12, 2015 by S-Config

Charging Lithium Batteries with various devices.

After my brief stint with Ni-HM batteries, it would a good time to change things up and play with Lithium batteries. I did a lot of research and am still learning as I go along since lithium on the grand scale chart of batteries is the lightest, most powerful, and most dangerous battery to work with.

Web Services blog entry – AnubianHost

March 25, 2023March 2, 2015 by S-Config

The progression from websites of old to AnubianHost is my current site.

I thought I made a blog entry about AnubianHost when I first started my blog. But Anubian Host is the web provider that I use which hosts all of the data that you see before you and keeps it nice and fast to boot. It's been a few years and perhaps it's time I should tell you a little story about why I moved to these guys.

Original XBox Debug Console – It lives again!

November 1, 2019January 23, 2015 by S-Config

The 1st Gen Original Xbox Debug Console.

This Xbox Debug post is going to be more of a blog than an actual technical guide as I go down nostalgia lane here. I can't make it too technical because I don't want to deal with lawsuits from Microsoft.

Archived – RootMyOuya.1.1.apk

May 2, 2023December 28, 2014 by S-Config

RootMyOuya is now archived.

12/28/2014 - Since the Chickcharney update of Ouya the RootMyOuya.1.1.apk is no longer usable. After further investigation with trying to install this program manually and checking the logcat files. It appears that due to the updates the Ouya corperation has deemed that this package is no longer signed. I shall still keep the APK up on my site for archival reasons. But when it comes to newer Ouya's updated past 11/3/2014. If you have installed the RootMyOuya.1.1.apk prior to Chickcharney like I did you probably will not notice anything until you attempt to re-install this apk.
