Maybe an unusual take, but I use the SD in desktop mode for working.
The USB-C supports Display Port, so I have 2 external monitors connected and keyboard as well as mouse obviously.
With another USB-C powered portable monitor as alternative it’s an even kinda portable setup. - Comment on Valve raises Steam Deck prices by more than $200 2 days ago:

- Comment on Valve raises Steam Deck prices by more than $200 3 days ago:
It sucks that the SD got more expensive, but your calculation about relevant component price hikes is spot-on.
Blaming Valve for that is a kind of victim blaming, because Valve would love to bring even more users in their eco system through affordable hardware that just works. - Comment on Valve raises Steam Deck prices by more than $200 3 days ago:
Steam Deck and SteamOS are no walled garden.
That’s the difference.
Feel free to run Bazzite on the SD, or even Windows, lol.If all my Steam games are gone, I continue playing games from my GOG library through Heroic Games Launcher.
Again, see: no walled garden. - Comment on vacation 1 week ago:

Even trying to enforce the rules is a win in my book.

…which are enforced?
Because that’s one major issue with the legal system of the USA. - Comment on Scientists claim to have found the "holy grail" gene for limb regrowth in a cross-species study spanning axolotls, zebrafish, and mice 2 weeks ago:
[…] humans can sometimes regrow fingertips if the nailbed remains intact after injury, allowing skin, flesh, and bone to regenerate.
The process is established and described e.g. here: www.nature.com/articles/s41536-025-00441-y
The original study is over 50 years old and was focussed on children: docdroid.net/…/1972-child-fingertip-regeneration-…

- Comment on TRIMUI Brick Hammer, a weirdly named but beautiful handheld 3 months ago:
The WiFi password is a nut I yet have to crack, but I’ve put the music on the SD card and enjoyed Songo#5 already.
Unfortunately I won’t be able to get in contact with Riley easily as my Discord account requires me to receive an email, which gets sent to a mailbox I no longer have access to (maybe time to set up a new account…) and I left Reddit for good after the crap they pulled with the API access - which is why I’m here on Lemmy now.Your review really made my decision making process simple. I’m long beyond the phase of my life, where I researched this and that for days or weeks just to have the most perfect solution.
Now I’m in the “good is good enough, no need for it to be perfect” phase as it saves so much time.
Yet in this case good turned out to be (maybe) the perfect solution.
So I wholeheartedly thank you for your review!Now I can either play Tetris or listen to music with a formidable music player. Streaming via Bluetooth didn’t work at first attempt, though. Pairing went well, but the sound output wasn’t on the BT speaker. I’ll have to try again with other devices.
For the time being I can live with a cable connection to the speaker :)I’m looking forward to what amazing things are coming!
Have fun! - Comment on TRIMUI Brick Hammer, a weirdly named but beautiful handheld 3 months ago:
I realized that running NextUI doesn’t really replace any of the files on the device itself as it runs from the SD card, although it shows “Installing…” at first start.
I’ve had some trouble with Portmaster but most likely due to me being impatient. I installed Portmaster and Songo#5. When I started Songo#5 the first time it looked like it was frozen and eventually I powered the Brick Hammer off.
After trying to install Songo#5 by putting the zip file to /Emus/tg5040/PORTS.pak/PortMaster/autoinstall/ (to no avail) I installed Portmaster anew, Songo#5 anew, started Songo#5 and just waited patiently.
…and finally it started! Wonderful!
Now I just have to find out how to comfortably enter a 63 character WiFi password (for installing Portmaster and Songo#5 I paired it with my mobile phone, which has a way less complex password), configure Syncthing (for that I want access to my local network, hence the overly complex password) and put some music there.
I’m gonna have a lot of fun with this nice piece.
Thank you for your review, which brought it it my attention! :) - Comment on TRIMUI Brick Hammer, a weirdly named but beautiful handheld 3 months ago:
Today I received the device and at first glance and grasp it’s a beauty!
I’m currently reading trimuistore.com/…/nextui-setup-guide-for-trimui-h… to find out how to put NextUI on the Brick Hammer without bricking it ;)
I’ll keep you posted as soon as I have managed to install NextUI and tried gaming with it, or playing music - whatever comes first. - Comment on Just like Drax in that Guardians of the Galaxy scene 3 months ago:
It is! TFTP is a protocol, which I use to install firmware on some of my devices.
- Comment on Just like Drax in that Guardians of the Galaxy scene 3 months ago:
Not the person you asked, but I’ve been running Bazzite for close to a year now. While my intention was an easy time installing any Linux on a laptop with dGPU, everything just works so nicely that it’s my daily driver at the moment.
The only thing that drove me alomost nuts was installing a TFTP server on console. But once I found out about distrobox that was a solution. - Comment on Turning Gaming Handhelds into Digital Audio Players: An Interview with Riley 3 months ago:
We’re talking about Nintendo Gameboy games on then, you know?
Something that has been done on slightly bigger devices for well over 30 years.Oh, I do have an ancient mp3 player the size of a lighter. But I rarely use it anymore.
Yet I see myself using Songo#5 on this device. So I do appreciate the effort to provide this software for this kind of niche hardware. - Comment on Turning Gaming Handhelds into Digital Audio Players: An Interview with Riley 3 months ago:

So trying to get legit projects off the ground makes no sense, because 99.9% of all projects are scams?
I beg to differ!
Or did you want to insinuate something else? - Comment on 17 years* 3 months ago:
That’s where our perceptions differ. There’d be zero need to continue development, if scamming was the goal.
The revenue could be had without additonal effort.How is done correctly?
How would it have been done correctly a decade ago in your opinion?
All distribution schemes I know or can think of (shy of using people’s biometric data to stop them from getting more than their fair share) is at risk of being expoited by in-groups - see the fortune of Satoshi. - Comment on 17 years* 3 months ago:
Are there any substantial flaws in my thinking you want to point out or was that it?
- Comment on Turning Gaming Handhelds into Digital Audio Players: An Interview with Riley 3 months ago:
It changes the way to build software for them and the (size of) the target audience a lot.
- Comment on 17 years* 3 months ago:
Well, maybe they have, maybe they haven’t.
At least they made the effort and a better system than CAPTCHAs to make it available to people without the need for special hardware or other prerequisites aside from a computer with internet access was just not there.
Plus I wonder why they’ve continued developing that project for the last 10+ years in case it was just meant as cash grab for insiders.People use Bitcoin, although it’s clear that Satoshi (whoever that is) has shy of 10% of the total supply: bitslog.com/…/the-well-deserved-fortune-of-satosh…
Needless to ask what happens to BTC holders, if that amount of BTC appear on the sell side of the market. - Comment on Turning Gaming Handhelds into Digital Audio Players: An Interview with Riley 3 months ago:
The picture with the red gamjng handheld shows a TRIMUI Brick Hammer, right?
I’m so looking forward to receiving mine and installing Songo#5 on it 😊 - Comment on 17 years* 3 months ago:

By the way, do you care to name one Nano project?
- Comment on 17 years* 3 months ago:
Apple wants to have a word, Meta too.
Nano had a rebranding and was called Raiblocks before. While it was a quite distinct name, people wouldn’t even know how to pronounce it.
I’m not overly interested in the name, I do like the attributes of “Nano, the digital money” though. - Comment on 17 years* 3 months ago:
Lots of the issues Bitcoin faces are not based on the design, but by and large what tech bros made out of it.
If you really want to learn more about it, have a look at the blocksize wars and Bitcoin Cash. Or just wait until Bitcoin finally collapses, which will happen eventually, but I’m not able to tell whether this year, decade or century.
What will break Bitcoin’s neck eventually is the OPEX of its mining. Mining on the one hand is a crucial part of keeping the network secure, but on the other hand is expensive way beyond the money that can be earned from transaction fees collected when doing the mining.
Bitcoins being generated from thin air when a new block is being produced are a major part of the revenue for the miners, but the amount of BTC getting created this way gets reduced over time until it reaches 0.
The thing about the mining is that it’s being done with more and more computing power, and it can’t go below whatever the current amount of computing power is by a lot without putting the network at risk. - Comment on 17 years* 3 months ago:
Once people realize how unsustainable Bitcoins economical scheme is, some of them will get more popular.
Don’t get me started on all the other issues Bitcoin has… - Comment on 17 years* 3 months ago:
In case this is an honest question:
Ripple and Stellar are popular examples of networks that can process lots of transactions fast and cheap, but in my perspective they’re both examples of tech bros finding a new playground - especially true for Ripple.
But there are other gems such as nano.org/en, which come to mind. It’s true open source, was distributed for free, has transactions without a fee and can process hundreds of transactions per second with a tiny ecological footprint.
Yeah, I know, it sounds too good to be true, but if you have a closer look, it just is good.
Monero does not exactly have the capacity for hundreds of transactions per second, but offers a degree of privacy that’s awesome.
And then there’s the OG Ethereum, which in fact can process lots of transactions per second often at a quite low cost, which offers a Turing complete smart contract language.
You see, there are at least some alternatives, which offer lots of fast and cheap or even feeless transactions or transactions with other benefits, wuch as privacy.
The development didn’t stop with the “train wreck waiting to happen Bitcoin”.
I’m glad Bitcoin created the whole crypto sphere.
At the same time I’m dumbstruck how most of the whole sphere is just a soulless, useless money grab.
It’s hard to find the projects that aren’t, but they are here, hidden in a pile of shit.
You might realize that the projects I listed are more or less random examples, which mostly have one thing in common: they’ve been around for quite some time. - Comment on TRIMUI Brick Hammer, a weirdly named but beautiful handheld 3 months ago:
I’ve ordered a TRIMUI Brick Hammer a few hours ago, because I figured that I value durability of a portable device higher than video output; at home I can use my Steam Deck comfortably.
Your review made it look like a good piece of hard-/software for the money. At that price point I’m fairly sure I won’t have regrets.
