Only use jellyfin. Have a list of things want to update… but it works for now.

Yes that is a laptop usb cooler used as supplemental placebo cooling. Also a pc fan I have propped up against the hard drive feeding into the pi.

Can’t recall last time used the ps4 or switch. But they’re there

    An old HP laptop with Debian hosting Klipper and Home Assistant. Waiting for an OTG cable so I could replace the laptop with a phone for less power and heat

      Using phones with a continuous power supply might do nasty things to the battery.

      Source: I finally figured out how to open a glass back phone with no tools.

        Heat, then suction?

        On a related note, I solved the battery issue with my wall mounted Fire tablet (for an HA dashboard) by connecting the power supply to a smart plug and setting up an automation to only give it the juice for about 3 hours per day, spread throughout the day

          It still amazes me that the smartest phones aren’t yet smart enough to have direct power supply.

          Like my 40 year old AM radio.

          I’ve done similar with an old Android tablet. Installed Fully Kiosk Browser to display the dashboard AND read the battery level - above 75%, switch off power…

          But… automations only trigger when going past the threshold once, so if there’s a random issue where HA doesn’t see the battery drop below 10%, (had that happen a few times in the past), then I also have multiple triggers for 5% and 2%… to turn the power back on again 😉

            Yeah, the tablet runs Fully Kiosk and I tried the same thing with the battery percentage thing and ran into the same issue, so I just simplified and made the automation time-based.

            The tablet also likes to freeze a few times a day, so I also created an automation that toggles the smart plug power whenever HA loses connection to the tablet for more than 5 seconds, then toggles back to the original state at the start of the automation, which corrects the problem. Until the next time. But hey! It was only $60, so it’s fine.
