  • The WiFi password is a nut I yet have to crack, but I’ve put the music on the SD card and enjoyed Songo#5 already.
    Unfortunately I won’t be able to get in contact with Riley easily as my Discord account requires me to receive an email, which gets sent to a mailbox I no longer have access to (maybe time to set up a new account…) and I left Reddit for good after the crap they pulled with the API access - which is why I’m here on Lemmy now.

    Your review really made my decision making process simple. I’m long beyond the phase of my life, where I researched this and that for days or weeks just to have the most perfect solution.
    Now I’m in the “good is good enough, no need for it to be perfect” phase as it saves so much time.
    Yet in this case good turned out to be (maybe) the perfect solution.
    So I wholeheartedly thank you for your review!

    Now I can either play Tetris or listen to music with a formidable music player. Streaming via Bluetooth didn’t work at first attempt, though. Pairing went well, but the sound output wasn’t on the BT speaker. I’ll have to try again with other devices.
    For the time being I can live with a cable connection to the speaker :)

    I’m looking forward to what amazing things are coming!
    Have fun!



  • I love this way of dealing with such a situation!
    It both helps the passengers (who will still be later than without inconsiderate car parking) and teaches a lesson.
    Best way to make sure there’s no weaseling out of the responsibility is to tow the car and only fork it out after an advance payment to cover the taxi costs has been made.
    The driver (who maybe wasn’t the owner) has no money? Make it the owner’s problem!


  • I realized that running NextUI doesn’t really replace any of the files on the device itself as it runs from the SD card, although it shows “Installing…” at first start.
    I’ve had some trouble with Portmaster but most likely due to me being impatient. I installed Portmaster and Songo#5. When I started Songo#5 the first time it looked like it was frozen and eventually I powered the Brick Hammer off.
    After trying to install Songo#5 by putting the zip file to /Emus/tg5040/PORTS.pak/PortMaster/autoinstall/ (to no avail) I installed Portmaster anew, Songo#5 anew, started Songo#5 and just waited patiently.
    …and finally it started! Wonderful!
    Now I just have to find out how to comfortably enter a 63 character WiFi password (for installing Portmaster and Songo#5 I paired the Brick Hammer with my mobile phone, which has a way less complex password), configure Syncthing (I want access to my local network, hence the need for entering an overly complex password) and put some music there.
    I’m gonna have a lot of fun with this nice piece of hardware and software.
    Thank you for your review, which brought it to my attention! :)

    That’s where our perceptions differ. There’d be zero need to continue development, if scamming was the goal.
    The revenue could be had without additonal effort.

    How is done correctly?
    How would it have been done correctly a decade ago in your opinion?
    All distribution schemes I know or can think of (shy of using people’s biometric data to stop them from getting more than their fair share) is at risk of being expoited by in-groups - see the fortune of Satoshi.
