Check out tailscale (or headscale)

It lets you connect those devices without necessarily sending all data through your home network when you are remote. (Though that is an option along with many other great features like ssh authentication)

It also uses WireGuard for the backend which is more secure and efficient than openvpn.

Preorders are available now

..at several vendors, this was just the first one I pulled up.

You're looking at a month or so wait for delivery at the most if you order now.

Yesterday they still had first batch available so maybe other vendors still do too.

I don't think the pi5 will suffer the same availability issues the pi4 has

Sleep as Android has this along with a ton of other wake up helpers like QRcode/NFC tag scanning to stop the alarm, math problems, etc.

I found the math worked well at first but I apparently got too good at solving them in my sleep.

I put an NFC tag in the bathroom which requires me to get out of bed and go into the bathroom to stop the alarm. That's usually enough to get me to stay up

They also have various CAPTCHA tests, one that requires you to hold your phone and spin around, one that requires you to put the phone up to a light source, and other such things. I'm sure you can find an effective solution that works for you

Nope Apple has NFC payments locked up in their garden

But how many have won against an opponent with no king?

That's quite an understatement.

It has:

  • a new SOC
  • a new Southbridge
  • 5A USB-PD
  • a dedicated fan connector
  • a dedicated uart connector
  • 2 dual purpose DSI/CSU connectors (you can now use two displays or two cameras instead of one of each)
  • A PCIE FPC ribbon connector like the one used for DSI/CSI (you don't need a hat, just a ribbon) also the pi4 did not have any accessible PCIE lanes, only the cm4 did. Also the pi5 is capable of PCIE Gen3
  • More bandwidth for the usb3 connectors
  • more bandwidth for Wi-Fi (reports are it gets about double the bandwidth despite using the same Wi-Fi chip)
  • Fully SMD board, no through-hole components.

There's plenty of stuff I would have liked to see that didn't make it, but there definitely a lot more to it than an RTC and a power button. For $60 this is not a bad SBC at all.

I would have liked to see normal HDMI connectors, 2.5G Ethernet with PoE included, and higher RAM options.

More PCIe lanes would have been nice too but probably unlikely given the price point

AFAIK, it's complicated.

Check out this app which works for Sync so I'm sure could also support Boost in the future.

It requires adb (or root) to initially configure it but it's an easy one-line adb command and from then on it updates a list of supported instances and automatically handles intent redirects to your preferred app. They also have one for Mastodon.

Fox: What a beautiful day. Shit it's good to be alive

To be fair it doesn't have to be a hat. They have the pcie lane rigged up to an FPC connector similar to the DSI ones. So someone could easily design an m.2 drive enclosure, PCB, etc that just accepts the FPC ribbon and you can mount it wherever you'd like
