    I have a few retro devices.

    • Pistation (basically a mini playstation 1: I modded the case with a exacto knife in order to fit a “Indiedroid Nova” in it)
    • SF2000 (SNES Controller with a screen, only plays older games though. Like before n64.)
    • GPi case. (A game boy with a cartridge slot. Supports Raspberry pi zero. I also have a cartridge that supports the RPi 4 compute module although idk if you can still get it.)
    • Modded PSP
    • Modded 3ds XL
    • Samsung Galaxy S24+ ( I might buy a Gamesir X2 Wireless controller for it. )

    Those are ones I have off the top of my head. I don’t remember if I have other ones.

    My desktop is for home and gaming use. However I also have a gaming laptop which I bought for whenever I travel. That said, I don’t travel much… shrug

    I actually ended up using my gaming laptop as a way of playing VR games in my room so that I have more privacy. Although I’ll still unplug and take it with me whenever I travel.

    I also just recently got a Samsung Galaxy S24+ and a touchscreen display to use DeX mode as a tablet of sorts. Mostly for note taking when I don’t want to take my heavy gaming laptop.

    I’m all over the place lol. I also work in the tech field. Computer Programmer. So yeah… lol.

    A nutrition tracker where you can enter what foods you eat into a small database. And then when you eat meals you can check those foods off in order to calculate all of the nutrition facts consumption per day. And it could be expanded even further by adding graphs and reports such as Weekly, Monthly, or Yearly.

    Could track Calories, Vitamins, Minerals, and other specific nutrition stats. Most nutrition apps I’ve seen only track Calories… Or don’t have accurate nutrition applied to specific foods as it is generic. Letting the user add the food as a item in a small database would give the user more control of how the stats and reports are calculated.

    Could be helpful for some to see their intake and then figure out ways to change it to become healthier.

    Google “Odysee”.

    It’s currently my preferred YouTube alternative. Granted it obviously doesn’t have as much content as YouTube. But several well known content creators post to both YouTube and Odysee now.

    Some of the ones I follow include: Louis Rossman, Anton Petrov, SomeOrdinaryGamers, and Zach Star Himself. Just to name a few.

    And there’s also a browser extension called “Watch on Odysee” which adds a button to the YouTube video if the video is also found on Odysee so you can “watch on Odysee” instead of YouTube. Which can help you locate your favorite youtubers on the platform and let you follow them.

    And there is also an Odysee mobile app if you like watching videos on mobile.

    This is just one example, but I hope it helps ;-)
