I use this for video creation, and streaming on YouTube and Twitch.
Requires a hell of a lot of fiddling, and is missing some incredibly basic things.

Since every desktop environment needs one, for whatever reason, this is a terminal emulator for LXQt, which comes with Lubuntu.
It works fine.

On-device buttons, optical zoom, native H.264 hardware.
Garbage; do not buy this overpriced toy. It’s only “good” because it comes with a stand, but newer webcams are coming out with the threading for mounting to a simple $20 stand.

An E-book reader.
Because this is my first e-reader, I can’t judge it against it’s peers. It works well.
