Those letters probably wouldn't be very helpful, so it'd basically be a $25,000 dick joke lol.

Ooh, I haven't tried RTL-SDR on it yet, but I think I'm nearing capacity on what it can do at once lol.
Here's the block diagram for it (in spoiler below). Everything's up and running except the Bluetooth Receiver -> Snapcast (it works on the bench but I don't have the scripting/automation done yet). I'm also adding an SMA connector for an external antenna, but the new base part is still printing. Photo shows it "as is" of this writing.
SSL for the web apps was a PITA since I wanted real certs. Had to make a wildcard domain under my main hobby domain, so all my apps are like "https://{APP_NAME}.mobile.mydomain.xyz/"
As soon as I can get the Bluetooth + Pulseaudio scripting done, I'm gonna try to do a write up and maybe a show/tell post.

I would love to have a small Wikipedia browser that can survive the apocalypse.
I've got the full 120 GB Wikipedia dump running in Kiwix on a Raspberry Pi Zero. Works great (surprisingly)
E-ink display, mini keyboard
Have been using a Minimal Phone for a few months now which has both of those. Can connect to the Pi easily.
multiple ways/ports to transfer info,
Add a USB-C hub (or add a hub to the Pi) and you're set
All wrapped up in a heavy duty equipment case that's able to survive a building collapses and burns in an earthquake, that's shielded from EMP.
And that's where I'm limited - My 3D printer can only do so much lol. 😆
I've been working on a side project this week with a Orange Pi Zero 2W (Pi Zero "clone" but with better specs). It's got the Kiwix+Wikipedia like my older Pi (described above) plus a bunch of other neat stuff. It's kind of a combination travel router, portable web app server, party box, and extremely over-engineered bluetooth speaker all-in-one. Hoping to put together a show-and-tell post about it when I get the last of it squared away.

Obviously they match, but which came first? The attitude or that haircut?
For sure. My shower thought is just that they won't be anything like the simple pleasure of the DVD screensaver. It would probably ads that cycle through.
What kind of mad person shuffles their whole collection?
Me! lol
The musical whiplash is strong. It'll go Pantera, Slipknot, Lady Gaga, Children of Bodom, the theme from Three's Company, Spice Girls, Waylon Jennings, N'Sync, Foo Fighters, STP, Britney Spears, etc. You never know what's next.
The sad thing is I have a fully functional MPD + Snapcast setup I could use (including a TUI MPD client), but this is just what I've always done. Old habits and such lol.
I know right? If you can find a better one that pays out, send me a link and I'll happily update the post. I couldn't find one that wasn't forced and only went in the corner.
A totally appropriate reaction!
I felt that. It took me 3 overnight sessions to download the "Throw a pie at Bill Gates" screensaver over 14.4 dial-up back in the day.
Spoiler: The GIF doesn't. Will spare you the time I wasted waiting for it lol.

It wasn't a tight shirt when I bought it...which, yeah, should have been my first hint

Give one of your "skip" episodes a second chance every now and then. You might be surprised.

"Take Me Out to the Holosuite" didn't become my new favorite episode or anything, but I did enjoy it after years of skipping it because I got bored with the baseball plot the first time I saw it.
I also always skipped VOY: Initiations and had completely forgotten Aron Eisenberg was in that one until the last re-watch when I opted not to skip any episodes.
In a game that's all about decision-making aboard the U.S.S. 'Voyager,' of course players are going to be asked to tackle one of the most infamous decisions made in 'Star Trek.'
Last month, we were very excited to see the announcement of Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown, a new survival game from Daedelic Entertainment and Gamexcite that tasks you with charting the U.S.S. Voyager‘s journey home from the Delta Quadrant as you repair the ship in the wake of the event that flung it 70,000 light-years across space in the first place, and make your own decisions from the captain’s chair about where to go, who to fight, and who’s on your crew.
And yes, that means you will be able to decide whether or not there is justice for Tuvix.
...
Star Trek Voyager – Across the Unknown still doesn’t have a release window, but aside from being available to wishlist on Steam for PC players, it’s now been confirmed that the game is also coming to Xbox Series X and S as well as PS5.
Edit: Me after seeing all the Robet Dalys in the comments:
Context: I always wondered what the mural in Quark's was. Have read through the first two books of Deep Space 9: Millennium, and the novel offers two different (non-canon) possibilities. Also, it's difficult to meme from TrekLit, but I'm trying here.
Personally, it looks more like a Tholian to me but I like the implications of the alternative.
Mild Spoiler
Gul Dukat procured it when he was in charge of Terok Nor. It was so large, the only place it would fit was Quark's Bar, so that's where it went. Dukat was proud of it, thinking it was a slain Tholian admiral. Rom laughs and later tells Quark it's actually a depiction of Tellarite genitalia and is used to denote pleasure houses in the red light districts of Tellar Prime. Quark doesn't know who is right, but he and Rom always salute the "Admiral" as a joke.
Update: Yes! Seems to be. Calipers confirm the diameter. TYVM!
Thanks. I'll grab my calipers and confirm if the measurements are correct. Specs say MHF4 is 1.13mm.
