@CppGuy I hope there's some #Aftermarket - #Firmware with some non-botched #Android available for it so you can put #VLC, #NewPipe and other good Apps from @fdroidorg on and not have to deal with that anymore...
Otherwise consider a @Raspberry_Pi #Pi0W2 or #Pi3A+ or #Pi4 instead and put @Kodi or any other #Mediacenter-Distro on that and sell that FireTV stick on eNay...
@DavittoKun @landley Granted, @Raspberry_Pi 's goals are different than mine and those goals are valid too.
You can't have #TechLiteracy by the masses if they never get #tech they can tinker and learn with...

#RaspberryPi basically dominate the #ARM & #ARM64-based SBC market because every competitior just solders some silicon on a board and thows it on the wall with neither good #Documentation nor #Support, letting customers to "fuck around and find out" instead, which is exciting for a few but a complete disregard to the value of time of the buyers for everyone who needs to make it go brrr.
There's a reason the #BananaPi0M2 was never scalped, because Software makes OSes and OSes make Hardware!

Whereas the #Pi0 / #Pi0W & #Pi0W2 - whilst being proprietary in nature, are easy to integrate and develop for with free, excellent documentation and a vendor that actually gives a shit!
Thus it would be stupid *NOT* to target their boards woth OS/1337!

Sorry if I seem a bit nasty-worded...

I mean at worst one could use like a @Raspberry_Pi #Pi0W or #Pi0W2 if not a #CM3(lite) and make it a #thicc and #chonky brick like a #phat #Iridium or classic #NokiaCommunicator...
Ideally with like a good thumb-#keyboard and rugged case so it survives being flushed down the toilet...
#BonusPoints if it takes standard 18650 #LiIon / #LiPo or even 21700 #LiFePo4 cells...

But in the end it's a different scope.
OS/1337 aims to be the #Software-esque equivalent of "you want to build a gadget? Just shove a @Raspberry_Pi #Pi0W / #Pi0W2 in it!" and thus be the slate for other projects of mine and also a nice and versatile #rescue system that could be configured [ahead of time!] to [Reverse-]#SSH from a system, providing a cornerstone to build something like a #vendor-independent #LOM / #BMC to #upcycle older systems into #headless #servers!
@landley That being said the #Pi0W and #Pi0W2 can be run with batteries and there are HATs to do so.
But I giess we both agree that this is even less elegant than me shoving a Keyboard on a crappy smartphone m amd the only reason to target the #Pi0 is because code that runs on it will run on all other #RaspberryPi #SBCs and almost all clones with no changes.
Not optimal OFC, but it'll run...
#FollowerPower: Does anyone know a #distributor that actually sells @Raspberry_Pi / #RaspberryPi #PiZero v1.3 / #Pi0 1.3 (NOT #Pi0W / #Pi0W2!) at #MSRP or at least not beyond 300% of it?
I wounder how fast and "realtime-capable" a #RP2040, #Pi0, or #Pi0W2 are, cuz I kinda want to make a precision egg drop device like Mark Rober didn't.

But I'm shure @Raspberry_Pi won't answer that question...
