Can't beat poweramp.

Been using it for like 10 plus years.

Wait till the EU battery replacement law kicks in. Kind of no need to upgrade then unless you crack the screen.

Difference between my Samsung s9+ and Samsung s21 is minimal.

I'm a big fan of dell wyse machines. Loads on ebay, ex business machines. X86 so decent support, decent dell power supply, on / off button / in cases and low power.

I have wyse 3040 for pihole cost 39.99

I have wyse 5070 with windows 10 for plex and running a Ubuntu 22 server in virtual box, cost 59.99

This is what I do. Plex server with storage at home and brother just connects via his app built into his TV. They just text if they want a certain movie or TV show and I add it.

Been using this for years. Hosted via ssh on my server in a ovh data center. Fingerprint access and every single account with a random password.

Corn beef hash.

You don't. I also don't recommend you marry them.... Happily divorced now 🙄

My setup is two laptops (home and work) but 90% of the time they are just used connected via usb-c to my desk in the front room.

Pull out one wire and swap between work and home setup.

Same here. Sansa in the drawer, only brought it as used to be able to hack a ps3 with it before full custom firmware was a thing.

Zune still works but no windows 10 drivers so stuck with old music 😕

I've got a wyse 3040 with Ubuntu 22.04 lts running 24/7 just running pihole to block network adverts.

Then a wyse 5070 with a 256gb m2 ssd using windows 10 for my plex server and transferring files from my seedbox

Both work great with zero issues. Both in the frontroom and as no fans in them totally silent.

I was tempted to use one for emulation but don't really need anything my current rasp pi 4 can do.

Typical not available in the UK.

Is that still even running? Tried it years ago, my area was dead and just full of ads. Very surprised when they actually sent me a letter through the post too ....

I used to play the acorn archemedes demo version of this for hours. Could never afford the full version.

By time I had a full time job the computer was dead.

The ps1 version was terrible, wish I never brought it.

Thanks for the info. Wanted to try it for ages.

Currently using poweramp.

Dispointed though, I use exactly the same music set stored on my phone and also on nas drive. Yet sorting doesnt always put the album together and the search doesn't find all of the artists songs.

Sticking to poweramp.

I thought the same till I actually brought myself a decent pair of Bluetooth headphones with a chargable case. Never had a problem with battery life and much easier with no wires.

I did get a cheap gbp 2.00, usb-c to 3.5mm audio adaptor just in case but never used it yet.

Dates according to my auto torrent downloader.

I have about 2tb credit on a popular site. My TV shows are all auto grabbed by my seedbox and normally seeded above 1 to 1 before I even notice.

100 Meg up and down.

I put them into groups, servers, consoles, computers, phones, smart devices, media. Between 10 to 20 per range.

Everything else the dhcp server gives out ip over x.x.x.150 so easy to see new stuff.

I use bitsync to transfer files from my seedbox to my home network. The app itself is years old, closed source but just works.

Theres versions for arm, windows and Linux.

Use it via windows 10, Ubuntu 20lts currently but did also use the arm version on my wd mycloud and multiple arm based boards like raspberry pi 2, pi 4, orange pi pc and cubietruck.

Yeah got two gpi cases here.

1 fully working, and another in the box with a spare pi zero just waiting for me to get around to setting it up. Gbp 80.00 for the fully working one but did redo the software. Then saw a brand new one on ebay from China for gbp 25.00.

Only tracker I've ever been banned from. Got the mame roms, left 24/7 seeding but banned before I had chance to even seed back.

Both mine are there and tested for power use.

Running 24/7 for a good 6 months. Certainly not noticed any difference to power cost.
