This is really cool from a 'historical preservation' angle!
From a sane human being angle, this is a ton of work for what is effectively replaced by a Google Nest Hub, Lenovo M8 docked, or Echo 8 or such. Often for well under $50
That said, I would kill for an unlocked bootloader on the FB Portal now that FB is dropping the product. At least give me the ability to install other apps. lol

- agloe_dreams 4y agoThe Lenovo M8 is an Android tablet with a charging dock. It's not a bare terminal, but you can absolutely decide most of what is on it.
