I think it may be. Its specifically just a run for IP camera so it may be negotiating at 100Mbps
I used shielded and properly grounded cat6, and even then I was seeing spurs and noise all over from 2m down. Granted the cat6 run was basically parallel to my attic antenna just about 5 ft from it for nearly the entire length.
I put one ferrite ring on both ends of the run with 5 turns through each and nearly entirely killed spurs I had been seeing all over the spectrum.
Where did you get 16 years from? The drive says date of manufacture as 2012. 12 years is still a pretty good run for a laptop spinner though.
$140 upcharge on a lilygo t-deck to pre fit it into a 3d printed case and add a battery seems absurd to me.
For 2.5" SSD I'd suggest a Samsung Evo or crucial mx500. These will top out at like 4TB afaik.
For 3.5" spinner I'd suggest an enterprise class HDD. Specifically WD Gold or HGST. Look up the most recent backblaze drive failure report for some models known to last a while.
What are the chances of an official flatpak getting maintained so us lazy folk don't need to keep up with the GitHub repo/site for when updates drop?
Edit: Also do you have any plans to add NX support?
Maybe just allow apt update specifically via the sudoers conf so you can cron job it to run without being prompted for user input, or just run it in cron as root.
Possibly the antenna wasn't tuned correctly to the channel which you have the router configured to use so you had a higher swr than your radio frontend could handle eventually burning it out.

wow, an operating system on a computer, sounds so improbable :P
Oh yeah, didn't even think about that. Isn't using userspace network pretty common these days anyway?
Actually was looking into this some more, and came across this article.

It doesn't have as much to do with where the network stack is running, but that they're leveraging hardware offloading. Their CPUs generally aren't powerfull enough to switch packets at gigabit speeds let alone on many interfaces at gigabit or multi-gig speeds. Its by leveraging ASICs and maybe even some using FPGAs for hardware offload that they can switch packets at line rate. I understand how they do it, I still just find it kind of weird and cool.
I didn't list HDDs as someone else had mentioned that already. I was just listing a few devices that weren't mentioned in other comments yet.
We had a fancy coffee machine at an old job that ran Linux. If I remember correctly it was a top of line cafection or zulay machine. One of the ones with a touch screen. Just booted off an SD card as well iirc so probably would have been pretty easy to hack on.
I still find it weird that managed switches run Linux as I generally would think that at those data rates they'd need something closer to the metal but with the magic of HW offloading that's been a thing in enterprise for a while and OpenWRT even supports some consumer grade ones now.

EDIT: Totally forgot about these 2 ham radios. You can run and access Linux on both of these. One is by design as its running on a Pi, the other via mod by R1CBU booting the OS from an SD card.

Some of the smart thermostats almost certainly do. Also this one 100% does. https://hestiapi.com/
