#Estaría genial que pudiera encontrar uno mini hdmi a displayport pero no encontré en ningún lado

[wachi-delectrico]

We have a couple old tablets around the house and yesterday I tried to get them working for my own Funny Means (wanna use one as a secondary mini pc monitor). I managed to charge the batteries of two of them: an Amazon Fire and a random android tablet

The Fire is SO fucking annoying, it comes bloated with amazon apps that you CANNOT uninstall NOR deactivate, making the system slow as shit. It also has ads hidden in the SYSTEM SETTINGS. I accidentally pressed a button that took me to Amazon to buy an Sd Card while looking around the storage settings. There is no Amazon in Argentina, so I had to wait for the slow as molasses system to show me the pop-up about how, in fact, there is no Argentine Amazon before I could close it. The only valuable thing in that is the kindle app, which I think some of my family members used to reads pdfs, however I did get a notification talking about how one of the system apps "is going to become unavailable by march 2022", so I don't know when was the last time anyone used this thing. It has a proprietary app store that I think is supposed to mimick the Apple app store to some extent (understandable, the tablet runs android and the market I imagine this is for - the USA - is more familiarised with iOS), which also only hosts Amazon apps and an incomprehensibly small handful of other miscellaneous apps. If nobody's using it anymore, I'll try and make it less Amazon and more "normal" just out of spite.

The random tablet, though? The random tablet feels like a GODSEND. The viewing angles on the display suck (I'm not gonna be an ass about that, iirc this tablet is from somewhere between 2011-2014) but the image is pretty crisp, it's running Android 4.4, and though it has Google Services the only Google things it has are the Play Store, Gmail, and Google Play Music (which, iirc, is discontinued now). What really makes it a godsend, though, is that IT HAS AN HDMI PORT. I'm not a Tablet Guy so I had no idea tablets could have those. It's hard to find a manual for it online, but I think I found one and I think it says the hdmi can be used as both video in/out?? My pc's GPU only has one HDMI port (and three DisplayPorts...) so I'm gonna have to buy an adapter, but I'm hopeful! I'd have to figure power out, as an older tablet of a random company idk how comfortable I feel with leaving it plugged in 24/7

Go go random tablet
