Okay I think I have narrowed the list of projects I can fund with the
money from selling my video games:
1. Investigate how people have integrated GPS with Raspberry Pis in the
past.
2. Investigate pulling the guts out of a portable rugged computer and
replacing the computing with a Single Board Computer
3. Buy a turntable
4. Buy an analogue camcorder
5. Buy the Panasonic RXD50 tape deck
I am watching the Rinoa Super-Genius YouTube channel, and I am
fascinated by the way they repair film cameras and film projectors. I
would LOVE to own a film projector and watch films.
Rinoa had a Panasonic ToughBook, and it seemed like a wonderful solution
for my problem of how to replace my phone. Really, I just need a device
to monitor, predict, and plan public transport journeys. Surely someone
has developed or hacked together a device which does this.
