If there is ever a nuclear war, all that will survive are cockroaches and ARM based Android dash computers

It DOES look stylish on that old LCD computer monitor stand doesn't it? Strange, the PD5 was apparently released in 2018 and I got the fat stack I have in late 2020 or early 2021, two years and it's trash? I took an old 90s joy stuck cable, found out the pinout for that port on the back, made...

I forget to mention, it can and will run ArduinoDroid, and control/program Arduino boards with relays attached. Which is the heart of a lot of cool experiments and home automation stuff.

I have several of these interesting Android gadgets. These are super high quality tablets that run Android 7.1.1 from 2018. They are mounted in the cab of big semi-trucks hauling cargo. On startup it runs the companies proprietary trucking cargo manifest/log type program and it obscures the...
