    I'd love to have an impact receipt printer for this so I don't have to source thermal paper etc. They aren't difficult to find, but they're too expensive for a stupid project like …

    I tested mine and it came out to around 65hrs w/ rockbox playing FLACs. I've also got a Sansa Clip+ that is super small and great with Rockbox.

    I modded an 80gb iPod Video / 5G with the same iFlash quad (400gb+ right now with two slots free) I felt like I never had to charge the thing, so I just let it run. It went for jus…

    I'm with you. NFC is awesome. I use NFC around the house for basic automation (Hue etc) -- and it definitely should be more common. I was in a restaurant the other night that had Q…
