The physics of the space scenes in the Expanse is mostly accurate, but I don’t work there :(

I didn’t know about IKEA batteries, will check these out.

Do you use rechargeable batteries?

Trader Joe’s stuff is hard to find emulated else where.

This is the real answer to everyone. Limit access to the Bluetooth connection or don’t use the headunit.

You can get a car, just don’t connect your phone to it.

I have one of these as well and also got it years ago! Yeah it’s the best I think, but needs a few days to stop outgassing lol.

I purchased this one: Xtreme Comforts Pillows for Sleeping

It’s like $30 or something.

The Red Rising series is worth it.

You need Visual Studio 2008 to development for it, which was also made impossible to get thanks to MS. 😭

Used by Crestron Electronics for their 3-Series products. Not all are discontinued…

The latest tvs the boot pretty fast, when you turn them on for the first time just don’t agree to the policies and it’ll be a dumb tv.

The other option is a computer monitor.

My Sony TV allows for a default input on boot. Wish it allowed a default App on boot…

Are there any ways to support workers on a per-production scope?

Yes, nothing will be better, but you should enjoy what you like. Just don’t go crazy

Ugh, time to switch is coming… How to protect my android tv… Do i need to go back to media pc?

I ended up going with a synology Nas as i didn’t need high performance CPU and wanted a turn key solution. For what you get hardware wise, its low value, but if you factor in software and support, it works out to OK value.

You mentioned your parents will be using this. What services are you hoping to host? Outside network access is another rabbit hole.

Check the hardware requirements of the services you plan the host, but from what ir sounds like, you would likely be better served with decent pc 8th gen Intel with the storage in a 4 bay NAS or internal to the PC.

I suggested 8th gen Intel as a min for video transcoding (if needed)

I liked the movie The Arrival with Charlie Sheen
