I started to dig through the electronic parts from the multiple bins from Babylon Micro-Farms. I prioritized getting out things considered standalone computers, this being the many Raspberry Pi boards. One thing I found quite interesting that were was a Raspberry Pi Compute Module along with an official carrier board and a custom-designed carrier board. Apart from the Compute Module and the Zero W boards, most of them being soldered to custom carriers, there were several Raspberry Pi 3B boards along with a new-in-box PoE hat I was able to test out with the PoE-enabled network switch on my desk.
I came across a LattePanda webcam, bringing back thoughts of MediaCow Touch 2.

With regular use of the Flipper Zero again for work, it finally reached Level 3 which was nice. I continued to inspect desktops, having the Flipper speed up the process of getting system information.

I started to test each of the Raspberry Pi boards dug out during Monday.

With a dual-monitor mount found in scrap previously, that was missing a clamp pad that I substituted for some plastic piece, I was able to mount the two small Dell 5:4 monitors used for computer inspections to the edge of the table, clearing a lot of desk space.
I eventually came across a Dell docking station using a DisplayLink DL-6950. Inside, it had two UniIC DRAM ICs which I have never have seen before. The DRAM (along with the other ICs and the device itself) were dated mid-2018 which may be considered quite early.

Due to snow, I was not able to come into work this day.
