If you get the right adapter, I've seen others get HDMI CEC working.

However, quality of life features like sleep/hibernate don't work at all on this system. I've also seen people use an ESP32 to power on the system with a bluetooth controller which is pretty neat especially if you combined that with CEC.

Unfortunately I don't have the tools to measure the power draw directly from the outlet.

But the software reports 30-45W power draw when the systems at max load. However lower-end titles and idle draw hovers between 10W-20W.

Set the refresh rate of your display to 24hz that should completely eliminate the stutter that you see if 24 FPS.

This is an example of judder, matching the refresh rate to the frame rate gets rid of it.

Yeah Ranger is awesome.

Supposedly you can install lf using scoop on Windows. lf is a remake of ranger in go. It has all the same bindings and functions the same way.

Hopefully this helps :)

Just applied some of these changes to my own site. https://plug-world.com/posts/css-template/

body{font-family:sans-serif;font-size:1.1em;max-width:600px;margin:0 auto;padding:0 8px}a{color:#06c}

Thanks for the inspiration, I threw together my own spin on it.
