Or, don't waste your money on any kind of tablet ever. What do you actually need a tablet for?

[–] Frederic@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I still have my Nexus 7 (2013), installed lineage on it. The tablet is used for Netflix, Disney, some games, etc

A cheap tablet makes for a cheap HMI display, literally a fraction of the cost of alternatives.

"MQTT Dash" makes a great interface to any protocol that you can translate into MQTT (i.e. almost anything at this point) and it's free and robust.

This is true, it would make a great HMI. I just get my employer to buy all of our equipment though.

So you can have a portable device with a larger screen than your phone? For general media consumption?
