I haven’t done it other than for testing, but you can pair a fire Stick remote to a PC using Bluetooth and it works with Kodi.

This looks interesting, I hadn’t heard of it before. Do you know if they support sas controllers?
That’s just so wrong-headed. How else do you expect billionaires to monetize every aspect of our lives?
Easy mistake. The M stands for Moron, not mother.
Try getting a used server. You can find one on labgopher. For the budget you have, don’t expect something great but it’ll be a start.
Thanks, I will definitely check out both of those
I’ll take a look at that, thanks. It’s been a year or so since I last looked at it but back then there was a push button that you could use but I couldn’t get it going.
Privacy issues aside, for wider adoption the user experience needs to be better. Most people don’t want to be a sysadmin for their house, they just want to live in it.
Yeah, that’s why I said I’m very hopeful. It says so in my comment.
Sure, but if I had a Pi (or similar board) with a speaker and a mic, I’d hope to be able to do the same thing. A Pi Zero would definitely be able to do the job.
I’ve dabbled a little with it, but I really want something that’s as easy to use & set up as the commercial offerings like Google Home and Amazon Echo. I want to have an interface where I can connect my light bulbs, and have little hockey pucks that will listen for a wake word and do what I ask of it, and play my music. I also want to be able to get under the covers and do something that solves an odd problem that might come up.
I’m very hopeful for the project and I do think it will get there eventually.
That makes sense. I’m a lazy guy and I didn’t want to try testing so I went with a known quantity.
You should take a look at getting sas enclosures. They’re pretty cheap, like $200 for a 16 bay. That will be so much more reliable.
I used to work at Merrill Lynch, we had a Linux desktop pilot. We were an 80k company but had less than 1k users in the program, and most of us were capable of self-support.
It’s definitely doable at scale especially since most apps are web based these days, but there certainly is a retraining effort needed for support, and Windows would still be there. For most organizations, that’s not worth the effort.
A lot of TVs these days won’t start working without wifi. I set up a temporary ssid, set up the TV then delete it.
My Subaru EV has this. They just call it enhanced cruise control. I mean, that’s what it is. It also monitors for driver inattentiveness.
