[@Nox_Ludicro]

Oh hey, a Trimble! I used to do some IT work for a small engineering firm, and their land survey department had a lot of Trimble equipment. I hated having to work with them. They're literally only made to manage GPS location points stored in .csv text files, so there's no need for performance of any kind. This is a fancier one than I've seen, having a full-blown OS. Most I've seen run some version of Windows CE. The model you have isn't familiar to me, but the fact that is was so hard to open was likely due to the fact that they're built to be used outdoors in the field while surveying property lines and elevations and such. That would also explain why the spec's are so low, as theses devices are usually entirely passively cooled, without a single fan or vent, since it's meant to be weatherproof/waterproof to some degree, as well as drop resistant (so mechanical drives are a no-no). That's also likely why the I/O connections were all on a separate piece from the rest of the thing, so that water or dirt can get into a USB port without getting into the main device.

[@lazyg123]

I work in the mining industry and we all use Leica equipment, but we need to use scanners nowadays so the survey tablets have to be somewhat powerful, still all comes in a text file though lol.

[@Montgomerygolfgator]

I know Trimble for CoPilot and PC Miler, CoPilot is a truck GPS suite for ELDs and iOS/Android. PC Miler is a a tool for office-side truck milage estimates, fuel solutions, and it interfaces with ELD messaging so a driver can request directions in text form from an ELD. I figured with the pogo connector and Windows OS (a lot of ELDs run/ran XP or CE) that this was some stand-alone solution for things like box trucks.

I've used computer made by Trimble. So the thing is I'm forestry engineer and at one point "rugged tablets" were a thing in forestry business in Finland, might still be, dunno, don't work on the field anymore. We got to use couple of different ones in school tho. Basically they all were underpowered, very expensive tablets that wouldn't die even if you threw it into the river after losing your mind with how shitty they were. The idea was that "we need a tablet that can handle rain, dropping it on the rocky surfaces and so on. There weren't that many to choose from, so manufacturers apparently realized that they can use shitty hardware and wrap it into enough plastic that it survives almost everything and sell it with 5-10 times the price you'd actually pay for such lackluster hardware. Not sure is forestry companies still use those "manly" tablets, because most of the time they were really slow, almost unusable and just generally bad. Older people couldn't use tablets anyway and younger workers knew how shitty they were, because they actually used computer in school, home and so on. Worst part was that they were supposed to be used in remote areas middle of forest but in reality those things couldn't catch internet even middle of the city, so most of the time they were offline and off GPS and you just had to hope, that when you get back to the internet the data was still there (plot twist: we made backups with pen and paper for a reason, but that's on the software side and not tablet's fault. But that also meant that tablet was even more useless).

[@ArsiRochell]

2:43 missed opportunity to say “Alright Trimble, time to tremble”

[@xPLAYnOfficial]

Hello Bringus Studios! Cool video! I thought as an Intel Atom enthusiast and collector I would offer some advice on how to improve performance on hardware like this, given my extensive experience with Atom-based machines: 1. Atoms from this generation will generally take a 200mhz boost via FSB overvolting, which I highly recommend you do. 200Mhz doesn't sound like a lot, but going from 1.6Ghz to 1.8Ghz is substantial and can give you more FPS in games especially. 2. For OS, I highly recommend Linux Mint 19.3 XFCE 32-Bit. It's up-to-date (they just ended support in April of this year), very lightweight (in my experience it runs better than XP on hardware of this vintage), and is fully-compatible with applications like Steam. 3. Believe it or not, most of the lack of speed you're experiencing is actually from a combination of OS and hard drive. A slow hard drive, coupled with Windows features like Search Index, can bring CPUs like this to their knees very quickly (and also steal a lot of CPU cycles from games). Upgrading to a solid-state storage medium (which I believe it is possible to do on this particular device) will help a LOT. 4. This Atom is actually single-core, not dual-core. It's hyperthreaded so it shows up as "2 cores" in Windows but it's one physical core with 2 threads. The USB is also 2.0 "standard speed", not USB 1 or 1.1, which is a subset of USB 2.0 that doesn't get talked about much (or really at all). It's USB 1.1 speeds with USB 2.0 compatibility. 5. Running Steam or other launchers is a pretty quick way to steal most of the CPU power before the games even begin. Running them natively without a launcher will definitely help matters, as you've expressed already in the video. 6. In regards to improving performance in-games, the biggest bottleneck isn't actually the CPU (I know, crazy) but is actually the system bus. 533Mhz stock is quite slow, SATA speed is SATA 1, and the screen resolution is too high for the embedded GPU. Turning off as many things that need to be live-loaded from the disk as possible can help a lot (such as textures). 7. I'm sure this is nothing new to you but retro gaming is pretty decent on systems like this. Feel free to ask if you have any other questions. Fun to see some Atom love :D

[@xPLAYnOfficial]

@liecr mk3 gaming Technically no, however it can be when you overvolt / overclock the FSB

[@xPLAYnOfficial]

@liecr mk3 gaming Well usually the safest bet is to slowly up the FSB voltage until it no longer works, then resetting the BIOS and setting to the last setting that worked.

At the very least I bet you could run some retro console emulators, maybe not a gaming PC but certainly a... TV console of sorts. Retropie might he a good choice, since that can run on a device with as low as 512 mb of ram. 1 gig of ram certainly is the main bottleneck, used to game on a netbook that had I think the exact same CPU, but the 2 gigs of ram gave it enough memory overhead to handle Minecraft beta 1.6 at 15 fps, and half life 1 at at least 30, don't quite recall.

These tablets would be used for geospatial work (in my personal experience), e.g. surveying land and mines, capturing data from laser scanners, and stuff like that. A lot of the work is handled by specialized equipment, and these tablets are basically just there to gather data points and stuff, not much actual processing needed from what I understand.

It drew the trajectory of the curve using the grapher and if it guessed its coordinates a smoke was shown and a screen that said "sunk", if it did not ask for the coordinates again.

15:10 nah Ubuntu and it's derivatives have just become the Windows of Linux If you're dealing with 32bit machines ( especially atom cpus ), you're better of using Void-Linux or if you're brave Gentoo. That way you get a light-weight system, important if you only have 1GB of RAM. The other option is just downgrading to Windows XP if you wanna run some retro games. Atom cpus struggle with games like Half-Life anyways.

A thing about getting free space back on Windows 7 is to disable power hibernation and disable page file. This can give anywhere to 2GB to 10GB back. You can enable show system files and show hidden files to see how much space they actually consume in the C:\ directory before turning them off.

Should have ran Half-Life on software mode on the first attempt. The iGPU was shitting the bed with the OpenGL renderer. An Intel Atom could easily handle SW mode with it's 1,6 GHz and more modern architecture than we had in 1998. Half-Life SW mode runs on a Pentium 2 with like 20 fps.

I'd love to see you turn a switch into a steam deck. Please bringus!

[@bljmario6410]

The potential issue with that is like someone already tried that, jumped through 50 bajillion hoops and still didn't work. (Lazy to put link here) Also someone DID manage to get Steam, but didn't run really well. For example, Pizza Tower ran at like 2 FPS on the Switch. You can do other stuff on the Switch with Linux tho, maybe trying to play standalone games and emulators.

You should have gotten debian. It's lighter and is what Ubuntu is based on

from what I can tell, Trimble makes mobile computers for fields where data is necessary, like Surveyors in construction, which need a small computer to wirelessly talk to a laser so they can calculate coordinates and elevation. (I worked at a construction site for 5 months, and the computer he was using, attached to the IR pole was made by Trimble, obviously a newer model that ran Windows 10.
