@Rlancaste, OK, I'll bite: How do you like that Fay Tun WiFi usb adapter in your picture?
Clearly the Pi's internal WiFi is pretty mediocre, and I've been using a travel router, but something like that would be more convenient...
Anything special to get it to work on the Pi?
Seems to get a pretty high percentage of 1-star ratings on amazon

Yes, installing the driver was a little complicated. I have a script in my AstroPi3 repo that installs the driver for the device, after that it has worked pretty well.

I bought two of these for £15 off eBay...they have the raylink chipset so works out of the box with rpi3 and 4, no need to install any drivers...
I use the internal WiFi for the internet if I need and this adapter for the Stellarmate hotspot... :)

My Flirc case came in, and I've been using that the last few days.
Very happy with it. flirc.tv/more/raspberry-pi-4-case
It's $11.40. No fan, but the entire case is a heat sink.
The pi runs much cooler now.

This case works perfectly. It is set up for the installation of a 30mm fan. I tested it out with the RPi4 by running a stress test for 10 min straight, maxing out all CPUs to 100% continuously. The CPU temp never rose above 63 deg Celsius.

Baseline CPU temp is 48 deg Celsius at 22 deg room temperature.

Good news ! Eleduino seems to have just released a proper raspberry pi 4 case. This is the one I wanted! Now I can stop using a modified pi 3b case and use one properly made for the board.
