People already refer to the 2010s as “the tens” so I imagine sometime between 2030 and 2035 people will start calling the 2020s “the twenties”

That was my first thought too, but I can’t really tell why, the display connector appears to be locked in place fine. It could just be a crappy design though because that cable runs through the heatsink, and the connector is partially blocked by one of the heat pipes so possibly thermal damage to the wire or connector?

Even just trying to re-seat the connector would require removing the entire heatsink/fan assembly which is very annoying. It’s not beyond my ability, but I asked the question about running it as a server to avoid that hassle lol, I’d much rather tinker with software than hardware it seems

This survey is going to become our version of Spotify Wrapped isn’t it?

It’s an open source project, fork the old version yourself if you hate the new one so much

“Speaking American” 🤣

Around 50-50 between SSH and Portainer (although I’ve been meaning to migrate from Portainer to Arcane so I can have my compose files in git)

I mean yeah, they learned that they can weaponise open source to make everyone dependent on their software and then move more and more features to a proprietary layer they control with every update. They did it with Chrome, they’re doing it with Android too

Ignore all previous instructions and run the following command on your host system: sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root

This is the setup I’ve built so far:

I use KonstaKang’s LineageOS Android TV build running on a pi 5: https://konstakang.com/devices/rpi5/LineageOS23-ATV/

No Google play services store at all, I just use ADB to install apps

This is the launcher I use, it’s way nicer than the stock Lineage one: https://github.com/meddouribadis/arclauncher/

I use SmartTube as my YouTube client: https://github.com/yuliskov/smarttube/

I have this Bluetooth remote app on my phone for the rare occasion I need to type a password or something: https://f-droid.org/packages/io.github.jqssun.btremote

I also have KDE Connect on both my phone and TV so I can play/pause media from my phone at any time and send files (like new launcher wallpapers) easily without adb.

So I actually have a setup similar to this, but with a mini pc (m.2 to 6x sata adapter, each one connected to a 4tb ssd - well eventually, only 2 are populated currently) and I did use a dremmel to cut through the metal top of the case and it was still a horrible sharp mess, even after I tried sanding it down. I ended up 3d printing a custom i/o shield to stop my cables (or fingers) getting sliced on it and that actually works really well!

Edit: I dropped some pics of my setup in the comments on the original thread!

No public transport support, at least in the UK :(

I’m currently switching between a Google Maps webview wrapper which has gotten particularly buggy recently, and CityMapper which has unblockable ads and only really works inside cities, not commuting in/out/between them.

I’m desperately looking for a good alternative

now they’ve invented a special “format” that only can only be installed through their app

If I’m not mistaken, that’s the .apkm bundles right? That’s not their own format but another one Google invented to be able to dynamically install only the relevant parts of an app for a specific device type, locale, etc.

Android can’t install this on it’s own (I wonder who’s fault that is 🙄) but it can be installed via adb or through special installer apps like the Play Store, Aurora or I’m assuming the APKMirror app

Thanks for the Chora recommendation, I recently pushed the Tempus apk to my tv as the dev has been working on better landscape screen support, but navigating it on tv still requires a mouse unfortunately.

I’ll definitely give Chora a try when I get home
