I meant to write 3.5" floppy drives, and yes the 3.5" and 2.5" form factors are still going strong, even if the NVMe’s probably will reduce the use of 2.5"

They sadly don’t have 3.5" [floppy] drives anymore, and both the ISA and PCI busses are nowhere to be found 😔

I used pcpartpicker for my latest build it’s a good help when assembling and can help avoid those incompatible parts.

I couldn’t find a simple plug and play solution, so it took several tries to find the right guides, especially because raspbian have changed their Bluetooth/audio setup, so the old guides don’t work.

The solution I found uses a script/daemon that sets up the speaker and waits for Bluetooth connections.

I’ll look for the script…

Edit: found it https://github.com/fdanis-oss/pw_wp_bluetooth_rpi_speaker

I added a systemd service running as root.

Yep that’s also how I set it up, it boots up in RetroPi and then you can start Kodi from there, but now I mostly boot up on the MPD SD card instead. I have also configured it to be a Bluetooth speaker, so I can attach the phone.

The first one is a Kodi player.

The second one was originally intended for RetroPi, but now it’s a mp3 player running MPD, and connected to my sleep headphones.

It never happened and if it did it was not on my computer. And if Linux refuses to boot after I edited grub.cfg it was not my fault!
