The co-authors were Lawrence Page and Sergey Brin, and the "large-scale hypertextual web search-engine" they were describing was their new project, which they called "#Google." They were 100% correct - prescient, even! 3/

My pi is burning up... need some active cooling solution recommendation!

Currently, it's in open top case allowing natural air convection with aluminum heat sinks on SoC and and the network unit.

Pi works but HDMI display anymore.
