I played the game with them, when they were very young. They loved every minute of it - with their uncle performing impromptu dramatization-translations :-)
I am seriously considering playing it again with them this summer :-D
A USB tester - it just reports the voltage (5V) and the current. As you can see in the video, the current hovers around 10mA, spiking to 20mA when we use the speaker.
If you are OK with external USB drives, I did just that with my Atomic PI [1] (Atom-based, 35$ SBC, 3.5W idle, running Debian on its internal EMMC, with two external USB drivers in ZFS-mirror configuration).
Thank you! I had noticed the same problem, but was not aware of this excellent solution. I just applied it, and it works perfectly... and I removed the dozens of Haskell libraries that were there just for Pandoc.
For anyone else interested, the same solution applies to shellcheck - just install shellcheck-bin from AUR.
It's a pretty great ROM and community, but the goals are different from LineageOS. PE aspires to replicate as much of the "pixel experience" as possible. It is not degoogled, ships with play services and all of that out of the box. But yes, certainly great if you want to get rid of bad OEM software and go for a stock android feel.
They took forever ... and then they bombed out due to lack of memory.
Not lack of physical memory, but lack of ability to address it as the UFS2 tools, like fsck, were not written to handle billions of inodes ...
We really can't thank Kirk M.[1] enough - he wrote custom patches to ufs and fsck just for our (dirty) filesystems and, as I mention in the article, eventually gave us the push to migrate to ZFS.
