I like to listen to music at night and my old phone liked to swich to the phone internal speaker when the headphone jack was turned the other way around; all while ignoring the volume set for the speaker and using the one for the headphones instead; so everytime i went to the toilet or to get a cup of water kordhell would start blasting across the corridors at 2am. Fun.
I have installed linux on a €20 tv box because i needed a print server; it turned in a 2 month adventure that only ended when i cnocked the emmc off the board and started booting from sd card( and due to how unknown the hardware is, there is very little support); I'd consider it mostly a side project to do if you are willing to risk losing the stick and just like to toy with this stuff; not something to do out of actual need.
Boy do i miss cheap sbcs.
Ps. Dont bother with the stock os; when i booted the box for the fist time with his original os i saw a spike in my pi hole's blocked domains; yikes...
Mine are getting a bit of an upgrade... I found two 26" speakers ripped from an old stage set and a bag of identical tweeters in my dad's old stuff, I'm currently soldering together a crossover circuit and an amplifier that won't die while trying to run this whole mess; you can bet a bomb threat is gonna be called when genesis and waters of nazareth hit
Just a thing for making it more sufferable; i remember that there was a program for linux called xkeycaps to edit keyboard layouts; so you could swap the backslash with the normal one. I used it so long ago that I'm not even sure if it still available and working though
After a while it becomes muscle memory; the good thing is that you can see if someone is a programmer/linux user because the key for the numer 7 is more worn out than most of the others
I program with the italian layout and i's fine, the only annoyances are that to use the slash you need to use shift, all while the backslash has a dedicated key; also you need to use alt codes to type a tilde.
The main problems is high amperage required to get the same wattage and the difficulty to change voltage with dc; coming from someone that has a small workshop running out of 12v dc from solar panels and batteries
I may be skewed by the fact its the plug of my country; but i like the type L plug (its the no 1 in the photo) mostly because its modular: you dont need to get a specific faceplate to have a certain arrangement of plugs, switches etc... You just take the brace plate off and you can rearrange the fruits in the box to your hearts content. Eg: you pass an ethernet cable and need to put a keystone in the wall; you just buy the fruit and put it in the place of a blanking plate. What i dont like is the almost total lack of shielding for the live and neutral.
I need 1 hour to get ready to work in the morning, even if i just need to get a shirt and a pair of pants on: not because I'm lazy, but because my brain takes 2 hours to finish booting and when i wake up my conception of time is completely skewed and pretty mutch i look like a robot on autopilot, after those two hours you may be able to have a sensible conversation with me; before of that you'll be lucky i answer something even remotely correct
That only works if the pc is laying on the long side; most modern pc cases are made to stand only on the short side; kind of a bummer for people like me that still have a desk made to have the pc under the monitor
For voice typing sayboard may be an option, i've never tried it so i'm not sure if it's good or not though; while for the predictive text i have been looking for a keyboard that can do it as well
