Works great. It’s my portable gaming box. I use virtualhere usb over ip on the same Pi too so I can use multiple controllers like a wheel or joystick, pass a full bluetooth adapter directly to it for emulators.

I fired up my copy of Ocarina a couple months ago. To my surprise, all 3 save files were intact and not corrupted! Could not believe it.

You keep the user-changeable files on a separate filesystem. Whether that’s just a separate partition, or an external disk. Keep the system itself read only, and write-heavy directories like logs and caches in RAM.

Go for a vintage correct OS for a challenge, try Haiku!

It’s astounding. The same reason why the Steamdeck is better than the Asus and Lenovo imitation handhelds is why people will want the Apple Vision Pro compared to building your own headset and PC. Yet just because it’s Apple, all the edgelords are out in force refusing to see why a product combining existing technologies for you is better for the masses than one you cobble together yourself.

Polish.

It useless to be first if that product isn’t reliable, sustainable, practical. Apple adds polish to other concepts to make them usable by the vast majority of people.

Laptops existed…..with weird keyboard layouts and mice that were afterthoughts. PowerBook pioneered the keyboard forward design that every laptop now has.

Smartphones existed……incredibly limited, weird UI, awkward input, targeted at businesses instead of regular people. iPhone changed everything so much that every other design died.

Collecting different innovations and figuring how to combine them in a way that is practical and sellable is their continuous innovation.

So is there reentry heating yet? Or is that still taboo to ask?

Doubt it, HomeKit is Apple only.

But the hardware is definitely capable of it, and the features are definitely exposed via onvif. Sorry I haven’t had time to dig more ever since I got it working with scrypted, if I find anything I’ll try post here.

Used Scrypted and HomeKit integration, that was the easiest way.

I’ve been meaning to spend time to trying the frigate and home assistant onvif integration but the scrypted stuff worked pretty much out of the box.

From Pearson directly it probably a bus. You’d probably have better options taking the Up Express from Pearson down to Union Station, then taking the Go from Union to Niagara Falls. Go only has a couple trips a day that run all the way to Niagara though, but you might be able to do a Via train from Union instead. Then just Uber the last leg from there to your hotel.

Not only that, the real Bittle X is a dinky little plastic thing.

Wow. Thank you for that incredibly detailed explanation!!

It does sound like though that it is POTENTIALLY cheaper than something like B2, but also much easier to misconfigure and end up in a more expensive tier.

Seems to me unless you have a reason to use Amazon storage or already have something using it, using it for backup isn’t the best idea.
