  • Ugh I had to get an obscure PCIe card working a few years back and it was a huge pain. I believe I ended up having to find the broadcom chipset by model because the generic brand driver didn’t support it, then the arch repos didn’t have the driver for the model, and there were several aur packs available that I had to try one by one. And it was kernel module loaded, so each was a reboot.

    Absolute hell of a time, probably about 5 years ago.















  • I did. He also says at one point that he understands the construction is more typical of split-compartment mini-fridges, but acknowledged he hadn’t much checked.

    But, your interpretation is certainly fair, I don’t really want to argue. Instead, I don’t know how much you know about our fridges, but if that’s a standard size over on that side of the pond, they’re absolutely bonkers big by comparison here. That absolutely qualifies as “mini” here in the US, which stores seem to think is anything under about 7 cubic feet, or about 198 Liters.

    A quick Google shows that by volume, there’s not a single entry level full-size fridge with that small of a volume in the category. The cheapest fridge from a brand I personally recognize (in this case, a Whirlpool) has more than double the volume of the fridge in the video, 11.3 cu. ft. (320 L) compared to 4.6 (130 L) of the Galanz. Looking at the marketing images, that’s still quite small here. It’s not uncommon at all for a fridge to be more than 4 times as large as the Galanz.
