Yepp, been using it for years. Lots of third party app support and a minimal web interface to add a new π§²π’ in a hurry
Definitely does not have any bells and whistles though, doesn't bother me but is a dealbreaker for some.

Oh no ππ what version are you on now?
I remember a looong while ago when I broke my virtualized install by trying to update with too little virtual disk space, had to expand it and manually install the latest core from a shell within the VM. On another occasion the sqlite database completely filled up the virtual disk (I disabled automatic pruning of old data) and that was a pain to export... eventually dumped it into a dedicated MySQL installation and all was well after that.
I've seen that they now have A/B boot (similar to how Android devices do) so hopefully these are issues of the past
Still going π database migration has been running for 21 hours so far lol.

Everything has gone smoothly so far. Spent two hours looking through all the release notes and have a loooong list of stuff to sort out as soon as it completes π€
Edit: fix spoiler
If I land on a site using Admiral AAB I do two things...
- update my blocklists with the new AAB servers
- return to the search engine and pick another site
I really, really dislike Admiral AAB. Why would you want to evade a user's adblocker just to ask them to switch it off? I will keep it on thank you very much!
Nope π
Although if you wanted to tin the wires a little better, I've found flux helps loads especially when using lead free solder. I used to struggle before trying it.
The few times I've needed to man [app name] on a system without internet access or on an obscure utility, I've always been able to find what I need in the included docs
I hope the dev eventually gets sponsored, this is one of those utilities that you don't think you need until --help doesn't cut it
For anyone who doesn't have a device that natively supports this feature, there's an app on F-Droid called "Privacy Indicators" that provides this for camera and mic access. It uses the built-in Accessibility services to provide this, and needs a couple of other special permissions
You can change the color of the indicator, mine's red for more visibility.
I installed it from GitHub however, since the F-Droid build was really outdated: https://github.com/NitishGadangi/Privacy-Indicator-App
I did this with all my PS1 games a while back, ran into a ton of unreadable ones. Managed to read some scratched ones by trying out four different drives, but some sadly fell victim to disk rot βΉοΈ
o7 thanks for the memories I guess!
I love this π
These are pretty fair points I'd say
I haven't used the FP4 personally so can't really comment on that, but a lot of the community who owned the 3 weren't too keen on the 4 the last time I was on their forums. Most of that was due to the software issues you mentioned, as well as the removal of the 3.5mm jack.
The improved GM1 isocell rear camera on the 3+ is pretty good for what it is, but on the software side there's practically no optimization there at all. In full manual with OpenCamera I can take better pictures than my iPhone 13 - lack of HDR (camera hardware supports it, no software implementation) and OIS aside. Others have used the Google Camera app on auto and they're very happy with what they get, I'm personally not too keen on the overprocessed look that some environments can exhibit though.
Ever since the leadership changes and designer departure following the 3+ release, a few mistakes have been made - unrepairable fairbuds being the worst one IMO!! Plastic sustainability of those buds aside, the three tiny unreplaceable batteries will be a one way ticket to the landfill once they're worn out.
Personally I'm hoping they develop a true successor to the FP3, really like the feel of this device
I use OSMand alongside GMaps WV (a webview for Google Maps, wipes all data automatically after closing). Works well enough for me, but in GMaps you can't rotate the map or provide your location
Ordered back in Feb and just got delivered!
As soon as I saw the PS1 version release a while back, I was eager to get a PS2 version to backup the single 8MB card I've owned since my first PS2. I got all my games pre-owned back then, so sadly none came with extra memory cards π
Initially I ran into some issues copying the save files from my old 8MB to this one (using wLE), ended up turning off the "Game ID" MCP setting so all saves get copied to the same VMC instead of dedicated ones for each game.
Apparently this card works on the PS3 too if you hold the front right button while connecting the USB, looking forward to that since I have some PS1 saves trapped in there...
I've been looking into this material due to the really nice surface finish and clean look (actually purchased some already π )
However I recently came across a video by CNC kitchen where he raised some potential health concerns relating to the fibers specifically inside the filament. One of the commenters mentioned they couldn't wash the fibers off their skin, and another likened it to the "3d printing equivalent of asbestos"
I don't plan to print with it just yet due to needing a hardened nozzle, and spare extruder parts. However when I do, i'm feeling a little worried about how safe it is - mainly whether the final printed part is fine for occasional skin contact, or whether this material should ideally be left to just cosmetic parts.

Almost replaced the shell on my brand new deck... got caught out by the display
(images2.imgbox.com)
Title pretty much, my brand new deck arrived today and I wasted no time loading up all my games and linux desktop apps onto it. I was pretty much firmly sold on it after having the opportunity to experience one π
Out of excitement I also impulse ordered a full replacement shell in advance, thinking I was prepared to also tackle the screen. Turns out I was wrong - the screen is so well stuck down that I couldn't get it to budge with a 2kw hot air gun. The battery was also getting quite warm from the heat.
Pretty much ended up putting everything back to the original casing before I damaged something, and settled for just changing the back cover instead π’
Maybe I'll give the replacement shell another shot in future, but not too sure to be honest.
Anyone managed to do a full shell swap? How did you find it?

Quick update if anyone is reading this in future - the upgrade was successful!
Hats off to the HA developers and contributors - even though my install was completely unsupported, the updater pretty much sailed smoothly through everything.
It ended up taking several days to process all the database schema changes, along the way I did need to modify the MySQL InnoDB cache size from 128MiB to 1GiB (not the fault of Home Assistant at all - I didn't set up MySQL correctly π) once that was done things significantly sped up.
Looking forward to all the new features HA has to offer π
