Resurrecting NTC C.H.I.P. computers

Introduction

I bought four of the Next Thing Co. (defunct since 2018) C.H.I.P. (CHIP hereafter) computers shortly after their successful Kickstarter campaign of 2015. The CHIP computer is an interesting beast. It was positioned as a competitor the orginal Raspberry Pi and only cost US$8.00 before shipping. The Raspberry Pi cost US$25 at the time. The CHIP had some features that the Pi did not at the time including built-in wi-fi and battery charging. It was also considerably smaller the original Pi.

The CHIP was shipped with Debian 8 (Jessie) and was a capable Linux computer. I had big plans for all of them, but the

Raspberry Pi VPN Router

This is a quick-and-dirty guide to setting up a Raspberry Pi as a "router on a stick" to PrivateInternetAccess VPN.

Install Raspbian Jessie (2016-05-27-raspbian-jessie.img) to your Pi's sdcard.

Use the Raspberry Pi Configuration tool or sudo raspi-config to:

Guide to a more GNU-like Windows CLI

Note: Most of this is now outdated information. Now that WSL exists it is the prefered way to use Linux on a Windows machine. The Windows 11 command line also does a lot of the things I used ConEmu for by default. It's still better but not as much so. The Windows app store now remembers your software so that you can easily redownload it so my personal need for Chocolately is all but gone as well.

This is a guide to setting up a Windows command line environment which supports many of the commonly used features available in a GNU\Linux environment. It is most useful to people whom work in mixed environments and would like a more seamless experience when switching back and forth but is also useful to those who've never used the GNU tools before.

	What is Pocketchip?
	PocketChip is a portable, battery-powered Linux computer with a 480 x 272 resistive touchscreen and a QWERTY keyboard. It's about as powerful as a Raspberry Pi, but it comes with a custom touch-friendly version of Linux that eschews a traditional desktop UI.

	Why did i create this Gist?
	Because i am a new Pocketchip user, and i ran into so many issues when i wanted to flash my Pocketchip since the company selling this wonderfull device is already defunct.

	How to get started?
	1.
	First download the three software included onto a USB Stick and drag and drop into the pocketchip.
