That's right. I hope we had more time to polish it, but then it's only a couple of computers. So we were happy with the time we spent and the relative result we had. I planned to kind of doing the >/dev/sda thing and

I'm glad you enjoyed it. One thing I tried to do is not just document what I did, but also my intentions when I did it. That's one thing I learned from the Dolphin project.

It means that you can use the Pi as just a display (instead of as a display and an amp at the same time). Normally, when you plug the phone into the Pi, the phone won't play audio anymore. Instead, it asks the Pi to play the audio for

I just made a live Ubuntu image that fits in 300MB RAM with libvirt. I have a 5-year-old i5 computer with 8GB of RAM that I use as a Hackintosh with dedicated passthrough GPU, USB root hub, and an SSD. Having dedicated GPU and USB root hub

We are releasing a patch that prevents the head unit from taking over the audio from the phone. It will allow you to keep the Bluetooth (or whatever normal audio path) you have :) That also means the Pi needs to do less too, which means it

Then don't use Chrome. Disable it. Use Firefox focus.

I just don't install apps at all. I have a stock message app, a signal app, that's pretty much all I use for communication. No facebook, no instagram, no snapchat, no whatsapp, no slack, no bullshit. I'm sick and tired of hav

Is this the new fork? I thought it doesn't get updated and I think last time it crashed on me or did something weird, so I stopped caring about it. But this fork seems really good, too. Thanks, let me use both and see what I like more.

Geez, why didn't I know about this earlier? It's a life saving tool. I have been using Cog or Gog or whatever but recently gave up. This thing is exactly what I needed. Not that iTunes shit that tries to move my files around or th

I'm sure you have heard about sublime messages in Kubrick's movies. Stuff like a poster of a native American in Hue, the "we worship Satan" message on the water tower, the picture of a black man on the advertising billbo

Watching movies has to be one of my most inspiring accidents. In 2017, due to some external circumstances [1], I watched maybe 50+ movies on the IMDB top 250 list. Kubrick is definitely my favorite director that I didn't know about bef

I don't receive any spam call at all, but many scam calls. I once got an Indian Dell "virus" guy to be mad at me after 1+ hour when I got him to my VMWare Windows XP with a super inappropriate wallpaper -- before that I just

Sure, but in many cases it didn't have to guess. It knows. Moreover, even when it had to guess, the guess can sway both ways based on a person's watch history too: Wouldn't you think a person who watches a raspberry pi video

I like how the article talks about the price and the specs but has no real shots. Maybe price and specs are what makes it appealing to people but not shots? ;-) Crazy high price, full frame, interchangeable lenses, BIONZ, megapixel, yada ya

I feel like there is something lost in taking pride in making stuff that are durable and usable for a long time. I remember when I was a boy, there was an ad for Electrolux washing machines in my country with the tagline "I wish everyt

If you have a small phone then you have a bigger screen. Plus no more having to temporarily mount the phone if you can mount the head unit permanently. I have used a couple of phone holders, they suck and broke after a while. So I often jus

That's indeed the first thing I thought of. The problem with the Pi0 was that it doesn't have a Display header, so it turned out to be very messy. The 7-inch touchscreen is very big anyway, so the Pi3 actually isn't that big

It should. It's a MVP right now, so it doesn't need to achieve many things, and I don't want to make a broad statement. I think having a controlled test environment does help a lot. The official one is cheap and good too, so

My reasoning is that it does one thing: Being a dumb head unit. Since it does just that one thing, it can be distributed as a big blob. You don't have to worry about changing that file or this file, following this instruction or that i
