   I was busy collating some Android stuff from the file server, probably to add to the main server at some point.
   
   
   The stuff as follows:
   
   Blackview BV8000 Pro
   Hisense Sero 7 Pro
   Motorola Atrix HD
   
   
   The Blackview BV8000 Pro phone is better off at Android 7 if you want to use it as an actual phone, otherwise you can use Android 8. I handed the phone back to Mom as it will eventually be used as a glorified web camera monitor.
   
   The Hisense Sero 7 Pro tablet stays with me; it is on its third mainboard. USB port finally fixed (someone epoxied it; hasn't broken since!). Slow unit... unless a 4.2.x - 4.4.x custom ROM is used.
   
   The Motorola Atrix HD phone is only dual core; this was Mom's first Android phone. The later custom ROMs do not handle screen drawing too well; so only real use is as a phone (if possible). Cannot use this fully as stock because AT&T will likely have phased out this device a long time ago.

     Another thing being done is finally upgrading an old machine to Windows 10. Also, finding some practically unobtanium (read: expensive) 8GB RAM (2x 4GB DDR2) that works on an Intel board; most are AMD-supported because of the large RAM chip count. Hasn't really been much of an issue since DDR3 era; only real issue now is server vs. desktop compatibility nowadays.
     
     8 or 16 memory chips for a 4GB DDR2 stick work on Intel boards, usually. AMD boards usually use 16 to 32 memory chips for a 4GB stick.
     
     Installing an AMD-supported RAM stick on an Intel board will either show up as half-read (4GB stick as 2GB) or beeps indicating unrecognized RAM.
