The problem w/ old tech meeting new tech you aren’t familiar with is that you can’t be sure if there’s something wrong / dead in the old thing or if you’re missing something with the setup. No 3.5mm jack means far fewer options out of the pile of parts. Don’t want to connect the AirPods to the Rpi.

Let’s do this … or at least the first step. Actually I just built it & need to plug it in for the first time. This kit is FAR easier than the last PC I built (YEARS ago - cough.) I was honestly expecting to encounter thermal paste or something else annoying & messy but nope. https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:tbr4cunn6r4hox73ybzjfwt3&cid=bafkreieihzdosklw6t4ztsft25qu5dsrvndzzsy3xk3ul5v5fdrgdvgvne

I would like to stop feeling like I’m fighting off something contagious already (I’ve been home since last Friday. No fever but Headaches, Inflamed. People underestimate how bad head colds suck? At least it’s not something else but still f-ing annoying.)

Not quite to where I live but some of you might be able to see the Aurora Borealis tonight so sharing. RE:
