I have NEVER accomplished this. They're either lost or ran through the dryer to destroy a load of clothes.

Wow. Very cool. I see no graffiti. No garbage. No police call-boxes. Is it used by the public do people not suck where this is?

Sounds interesting. Maybe perfect for my use case. I'll look into it today. Thanks for taking the time to mention it.

Ok, good advice.. I'll look at the newest full size pi. I have a 10 yr old mini PC in a closet somewhere. Maybe I'll pull that out, and do some testing before I get the pi. Thanks for responding.

looking for music playback to bluetooth speakers (self.raspberrypi)
 

tldr;

i need an always on, always connected music player that connects to Bluetooth speakers.. without a battery

I have built-in bt speakers in some bedroom furniture. they have a remote that controls volume, play, and pause. they're really meant to connect to an 'always-on' device like a tv. when i connect my phone, they loudly exclaim "bluetooth connected", and "bluetooth disconnected" when the phone bt is turned off or if the phone leaves the area. i like to fall asleep to some relaxing stuff and when i leave in the morning, it of course, wakes up my wife. no good. i've been using a tiny, old android phone (kitkat), always on, always connected. i have a playlist of 50 things that are played randomly and in an infinite loop, but turns off with a timer set from the remote. the remote works well. but, i don't like have a charging battery next to the bed all day and night. AND, i'm not thrilled about the old ass phone that i can't really do anything with.

so, i'm totally overwhelmed with options. i've been looking at all kinds of things that just don't 'do it'. i have been using pi(s) for years (easy stuff, like pihole, basic lan based server with docker, other small projects) , but this is a new uncharted category for me.

  • 1 anyone know if the remote ( pause and play ) will work with the bt on a pi? it works with a phone. i believe it even worked with my pc.
  • 2 what are some apps that will fit this scenario? it would be cool to have maybe web access to the player
  • 3 what pi would work best? music only. seems like a pie zero 2 w would work.
  • 4 are there any kits? anything ready built? <-- would love this option

thanks for reading

Need audio player with Bluetooth xmit. in c/budgetaudiophile

I've been eyeballing the Zero 2. I'm no pro but I've been messing with Pis for years.. I'll probably give it a try. I've found so many small computers for signage.. then I found rack mount media players for in-store music. I'll look into that now.

[–] henchman2019 1 points 2 weeks ago

A phone or tablet would work great. Last week, when I was trying to figure this all out, I pulled out a Samsung that was a few years old. Threw it on the charger and it swelled up like a balloon within 15 minutes. That made me think twice about leaving a phone or tablet plugged in all day at home, while I'm not there.

Need audio player with Bluetooth xmit. (self.budgetaudiophile)
 

So I have some "built in" Bluetooth speakers in a piece of furniture. No other inputs are available, just Bluetooth. I'm trying to find an AC or USB powered MP3/audio player that can transmit via Bluetooth to these speakers. I don't care if it has built in memory or if I need to plug in a flash drive out SD card. I don't want it to have a battery because it will always be in one spot and always on. I only need to be able to pause/play from the speaker remote. I've been using a garbage flip phone that I CAN mod and power from USB, but I'd like a cleaner solution. I don't want to use a phone. I don't want to hack something together. I'm having a hell of a time finding something. Probably 10 hours over 2 weeks. I'm drained. Does anyone have an idea?

I don't get the title, but man these were the shit at one time. Looking back, they probably scratched the hell out of the paint.

PSA: Pixel 80% charge limit doesn't work while your device is powered off in c/googlepixel
[–] henchman2019 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I own 4 of them. I've never gotten the hardware limiter function to work. Spent too much time trying. It's basic charge limiting functions are hit or miss too. I've woken up SO many times to a 100% charged battery. I don't get responses to emails. The app is updated a lot. I really wanted these to work, but now that Graphene had the 80% feature, these will be forgotten in a drawer for a few years, then go to the trash. Good luck. Hope yours works out.

Turkey on top rack. Pan under top rack. Everything drips into the pan. Makes awesome gravy.

I installed Cosmic on my current system following steps here.. https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch?tab=readme-ov-file#installing-on-pop_os BUT, I was reading somewhere else also, and that post said to not enable the Cosmic login screen, because it was buggy. So I didn't. I CAN NOT find that post, and i can't figure out what the *(!@&^%# I did. I want to know HOW to enable the Cosmic login screen. I believe I edited some config file.. don't know what... HELP please.

Thanks!

Wireless dongle (self.androidauto)
 

Anyone have experience and an opinion on a solid wireless dongle brand? I'm leaning towards the Motorola one just because of the name and decent reviews.
