I’ve stuck to 12" and under. using a Dell Latitude 7290 currently.

Raspberry Pi with a small screen could be an option. I have their 7" display.

I have a 400

You may have connected it. In Garmin Connect click on your profile picture then settings. Then account information the scroll down to connected apps. See if its listed there and delete if so

one could easily 3dprint lots of other types of “weapons”

I bought the official Raspberry portable monitor. https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-monitor/ Yes there are cheaper but it wasn’t that much more expensive and I figure I’m giving to their foundation in the process. I put two L brackets on the vesa mount that come out front so my 400 sits on them. Then a really short usb C cable to power the monitor and HDMI to FRP and a short frp cable.

A faster distro and browser the 400 is usable, i use one.

In VLC go to more then settings then uncheck Auto Rescan

“Hey so the auto assist locked the wheel and the brakes, swerved into another lane, shifted to reverse and blew the transmission, then…” And what was tesla’s response?

Growing up my grandfather always had those big thick JCWhitney catalogs. They had nearly ever replacement part of a jeep. So I always wanted to buy one of the fiberglass replacement tubs (body) and make an aluminum frame under it and a bunch of batteries and a couple motors.

There are plenty of smart-ish watches that aren’t running a full phone OS also, Garmin’s watches for example. You can sync them with tools like gadgetbridge

exiftool is one I use to tag my images and videos with my name and sort them. jq is another that does a quick export from json

Harder to backup and synchronize also

I usually use viking https://sourceforge.net/projects/viking/

For anyone else wondering, you can export all your Garmin data .Use the “Export All Garmin Data Using Account Management Center” option here https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=W1TvTPW8JZ6LfJSfK512Q8 The output is json files so you can use any json editor or anything that can import json. I use a little tool called JQ https://jqlang.org/ to extract just things I need. Then I can analyze in whatever tool I want such as a spreadsheet

If you read the announcement from them you will see that they are not moving previously free features to paid, all of the previously free features are still free, they are adding some new paid features.

I have an eTrex Legend HCx from around the same time. Actually had two but lost one on a trail a couple years ago. The other one the screw for the handelbar mount was ripped out so I had to drill through and put in a bolt though. I have replaced it with a watch, last year ago I bought an instinct 2s solar. It has 19 days of battery life and I top it off when I shower. So I can shower on sunday, skip shower on monday then to do a quick MTB ride tuesday evening and it still has enough battery life to keep going until I shower after the ride.

I was going to say imagemagick as well. You make a simple script to do what you need such as the crop and connecting together then set it up as a right click action in dolphin or whatever file manager your using.

Everyone is feeling the squeeze. For the last couple years employer have been reducing staff and expecting those remaining to pick up the extra work while not increasing compensation. Then the employers report record profits and the news tells how great the economy is doing while we are all struggling.
