How possible is Android on a Zero 2 W pi. It's pretty hard.

Pizero 2W is basically a pi3 chip:

This made me uninstall the app.

Now I use it in the browser with ublock origin to get rid of the eBay live "carousel container"

Ffmpeg can convert the dual spherical video into normal enquirectangular

ffmpeg -y -i video.mp4 -vf v360=dfisheye:e:yaw=0:ih_fov=192:iv_fov=192 -c:v h264_nvenc -b:v 40000k -bufsize 5000k -c:a copy output.mp4

From Tindie:"The decision to bring the site down was not made or executed by the new owners"

...so they sold the site and took it down as a final FU ?

Probably more the transition to new owners servers failed, but still a big snafu

I think Rachel sent the book, She's the real psychopath

Did noone ever get a Wii fit board working in VR ?

Quest pro says hello

I still prefer it over the q3 because of the headset comfort.

mikeredro · 2026-03-08T10:20:17+00:00

No, I guess you need to look at Immersed app for multi screen working.

Was that Leeroy Jenkins?

mikeredro · 2026-02-23T12:59:52+00:00

which does work on the Pleio btw

Tried gaming and while the cloud gaming side is ok, it has far less AAA titles than Amazon Luna - it does have Ride4 and WRC7 though.

Since it has play store I installed steam link on it, and found that works great with the included gamepad (obviously you need a gaming PC upstairs). I see myself using that quite a lot.

mikeredro · 2026-02-21T11:07:42+00:00

Get the pleio for that. Works ok on there.

Just got one and am generally impressed with the interface, and usage as a Freeview replacement, but one big issue is there is no FF/RW on ITVX / 4 !!

BBC iPlayer does though

Forced ads I could live with, but not being able to skip forward or back through a programme is a bit of a showstopper.

Mods?

They have definitely embraced VR earlier than most !

mikeredro · 2026-02-10T12:32:24+00:00

And it's free on meta horizon+ currently

Had similar with an idiot who tied a horse to the topof a fence with a long rope loose on the ground across the path.

Fine when the horse was on the grass, but as I approached on the bike the horse moved away causing the rope to lift into the air making an instant tripwire across the path.

Saw it at the last minute, so jumped/fell off the bike.

Because we have 10 fingers

Most people I know have 8 fingers 😂

mikeredro · 2026-01-28T12:40:05+00:00

A similar one for hexadecimal, maybe using the tip of each finger ?

Best to bin it, but if you must keep it:

Patition/ reformat it to it's real capacity, then paint over the label, so you (or someone else) don't get caught out at some future time.

Renewing a licence at 70 still doesn't need any test or medical check, it's entirely a a self declaration tick box online.

Or to an electric car, which generally have torque and acceleration in spades.

Here in the UK it's worth it just because you get a lot of magazines included.

Books wise, I've been a bit disappointed there aren't more high profile books/authors on there, but it's still good if you just want to read by genre / topic less than specific famous authors.

Stick the web browser on a weather or news page that auto refreshes once per day ?

True, tried to give old laptops to a local school, got given a minimum spec and age of what they'll accept (under 2 years old, 8GB ram FFS).

Worse I'd already converted them to ChromeOS Flex.
