I have a little OrangePi Zero 2 which in theory is a great little device, since the components that make it up are sourceable and the schematic is available.
Orange Pi Zero 2 build of linux: Worked last I checked - have to try again, maybe my SD card is bad? Takes too long to boot anyway, and the boot screen with all the services starting displayed is unacceptable in production.
Armbian linux: Works except for Wifi, so it's an option, because I have no plans to put a wifi module on this board for any of our client projects unless i need something better than wireless G (i'd rather use an ESP32 for this). Same issue with booting taking too long and showing too many details.
Orange Pi Zero 2 build of android (10 i think?) - black screen after boot. The backlight turns off and no LEDs on the board shortly after powering on! I can't get this to work at all even though it might be my best option for production. Figured out the problem. I need to burn the image with a particular piece of software that crashes on my machine. Googling shows no results. Claims it works in win11. Compatibility mode no work either. Watched a youtube video on fixing problems with it. Tried that. No results. Gonna try it on hubby's laptop when he wakes up. Found a russian version of the SD burner that works on my machine. Tried the image and get a black screen but at least the backlight is on. Progress. 
Zephyr RTOS: This is what I wanted to use. They support the Arm Cortex A53 but none of the peripherals for my AllWinner H616 SoC. I'd have to switch to a much harder to source NXP NXP MIMX8 that supports HDMI, and I'm not even sure Zephyr supports one of those variants.
Running into walls everywhere I go. I don't have the resources to port Zephyr on my own. Android 10 might be my best bet if the sucker would boot. Gotta try a new SD but hell this is ridiculous. - brand new SD card - same result
There has to be a way to come up with a reasonable OS solution for this H616 that doesn't take man-years of effort to put together.
At least I think I have the sunxi toolchain and cross compiler and stuff for this SoC installed on my VM. That's something.

With armbian you have to configure wifi, what I usually do is, start with a wired connection, ssh into the box, then run armbian-config to configure the wifi - never had a problem

From forum posts I've seen, it just doesn't work with the Orange Pi Zero 2. It gave me the option to configure it. Listed my WiFi SSID, "connected" and then immediately dropped every time. Also that issue doesn't matter to me.

Apparently the tulip fields in the NoordOost polder are becoming a bit too popular, as we could see this morning ...

Same thing in a lot of place overcrowded due to mass tourism.
I've seen guards around very popular vineyards in usually very nice wine areas with a lot of photographic opportunities.
I remember, just before the turn of the millennia, I was able to quickly walk to the vines in one of the more famous burgundy vineyards.

Griff, as you can see, my pattern matches your exactly. I think I probably would have gotten it in 3 if Wordle hadn't conditioned me to generally ignore Q, V, X & Z except as choices of last resort.
I say Wordle conditioning because I think I unconciously put myself into a certain mode of strategic thinking, so to speak, to solve these.
Does anyone else feel it's Wordle conditioning? Or do you think it's just common sense because these letters are just normally used less in the English language?

It's doubles that throw me - I seem to have a mental reluctance to accept them ...

Yes, me too. I hate guessing with a double because if it's wrong I only cross off 1 letter from the list of unused. It appears my strategy isn't so much "guess the answer" as it is "eliminate what isn't".

Sometime back I solicited opinions on a new keyboard.
I receive a number of recommendation for DAS brand
and similar clicky style keyboards. I want to thank those who provided me
inputs. Learned alot.
In Summary
My requirements:
wired
single USB cable to computer
USB port on keyboard that supported wire mouse
Goal: reduce a wired keyboard and mouse to single USB port on my computer
Many recommended the DAS brand of keyboard with clicky keys.
I tried
Das Keyboard Model S Professional Wired Mechanical Keyboard,
Cherry MX Brown Mechanical Switches,
2-Port USB Hub, Laser Etched Keycaps (104 Keys, Black) $117
Cable to computer supported both USB and PS2 (?)
Very nice keyboard but mouse and/or key board did not work properly.
went with
Perixx PERIBOARD-220H US, Wired Compact USB Keyboard with 2 Hubs -
Build-in Numeric Keypad - Black - US English Layout, (11506) $30
Keyboard was not as nice as DAS, but fulfilled my requirements.
Since this was a small investment, I will feel comfortable
upgrading in the future for the optimal keyboard.

Seriously, I used Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse for year but they started to give me problems so went for wired.

i would have chosen perixx Ergo[^] except i do not favor its macro implementation or its LEDs arrgnement . i will never understand why the LEDs are not made more prominent and _facing_ user instead of facing ceiling . unfortunately it does not come in pink or chartreuse . btw how anyone can tolerate those rectangular torture boxes i will never understand .

"To each is own".
I've tried the ergo-style and it doesn't work for me.
I prefer the traditional rectangular keyboard.
