🎸🤖 Oh joy, yet another "modern" music player because clearly, the world was one firmware update away from achieving sonic nirvana. Apparently, rehashing #Rockbox with a sprinkle of GitHub buzzword soup was just what the doctor ordered. But hey, at least the navigation menu is impeccable! 🙄🎶

🎵🎤 Ah, the Rodecaster Duo, the multifunctional audio interface that moonlights as an SSH server! Because who wouldn't want their gaming microphone to double as a remote access point? 😂 Firmware updates? Forget it, just hope your audio doesn't start plotting a cyber-heist. 🔒🎧

Found out that the TinySA-Ultra and the NanoVNA use a different Windoze USB driver than TinyGTC that is not present on the new air-gapped Win11 Ham/Test-Equipment laptop (yellow exclamation point in Device Manager). Switched over to the old Win10 laptop (with needed driver). Success with these last 2 FW updates! Created notes page at https://qsl.net/n8dmt/firmware-updates-for-tinydevices/index.html
