The meme in the article cracked me up fwiw

I haven't used any but have researched it some:
Minisforum DEG1 looks like the most polished option, but you'd have to add an m.2 to oculink adapter and cable.
ADT-Link makes a wide variety of kits as well with varying pcie gen and varying included equipment.

Black-out typically means it just doesn't let any light into the room, not necessarily the actual color of the curtain

While I've heard mostly good stuff about Nothing, I noticed an interesting tidbit about early investors on Wikipedia:

raised $7 million from investors including Tony Fadell, Kevin Lin, Steve Huffman, and Casey Neistat.

Steve Huffman of Reddit fame, as a Lemmy denizen I'd say not ideal to be pouring more money in his pockets lol

Homebox has this capability too, you can generate QR codes for assets and scan it later to identify whatever's inside.

The current version does have the ability to create QR codes for your assets and scan them later for identification, but I don't know of a way to scan a new item and identify it automatically.

I think it becomes more useful as you accumulate stuff - I get frustrated when my wife buys crap on Amazon that we already have. So while I don't have the time or energy to sort everything in our house, I am beginning to catalogue things as we buy or find them in the hope it becomes more useful over time to find things we rarely use and/or avoid re-buying excess items

https://a.co/d/hh2N98y Something as simple as that, though I'm not sure 5v/3a is enough for a pi5 you'd have to check power specs

I would especially advise against relying on battery banks due to the heat, if you're just going to use it in the car and already going to the trouble of customizing so much hardware I'd find a way to run a power supply off a switched 12v fuse or wire from the car - just convert to 5v/USB power. I'm sure there are generic kits online

You know, my thumbnails load super slow on my phone but your comment made me think I should check where the thumbnails are located. First though I noticed I had this setting on, after disabling it they now load almost instantly:

My setup is exactly what you're aiming for: Immich and it's database resides on the main SSD while the photos and videos are uploaded to my NAS using NFS shares and a bind mount to /mnt/
I run Cosmos Cloud so the manner in which it's implemented may be slightly different to your setup.

It isnt the snappiest experience loading media off the HDD's but it's been very reliable.

While you are right that the V20's implementation was limited use, it added an ease of interaction with notifications and controls you mentioned.

I'd argue a 10% screen share implementation is limited use as well though. The article even spends a lot of time talking about how you can't see much on that sliver of screen, it's just an easy way to swap between apps - which we can already do by double tapping the square button.
