I'm a couple hours into this one and it's fantastic to work along with: https://youtu.be/nAh_Kx5Zh5Q

He didn't realize assembly was a thing, so he was actually writing machine code instructions

You could use a Cloudflare tunnel if you really wanted to avoid opening ports, but basically as long as you only open the right ports for what you want to host and have a good firewall (I use OPNSense) you're fine

I actually love answering my daughter's questions - It's my wife that gets exhausted by them lmao. She's the kind that asks questions like "Why are the pixels on the car radio so big, and whats in them that makes them green?"

The Surface Duo and Duo 2 both start up an RDP session if you plug them into a keyboard and mouse, so it's not unlikely

I'm getting old I guess.

Yeah, I feel that too. I was nodding off last night sitting next to my wife while she played Zelda on our home theater. Crazy how parenting does that to us, eh?

I'm some ~150 hours into it at this point, haven't even gone near the depths beneath the castle. Crazy how much content there is in this game; My wife and I want to play Diablo 4 together at some point soon, but for the moment we've just been cuddling up and both playing Zelda instead ... basically since it came out.

Yeah, I've been really glad Jerboa has multi account support

I just use platforms that have it built in.

I was kinda interested in a Killswitch, but ultimately decided I'd rather it be naked

I considered getting a skin, but I assumed it would have the same problem all the other device skins I've ever applied end up having: Peeling, bubbling, and looking cheap+amateur.

A full case swap on the other hand, and this thing looks like it could have come from the factory that way.

was it tricky at all to do the swap?

I'm probably not the best person to answer this for the general public, as I have a fair bit of experience with disassembly, repair, and mods to handhelds - I've got several old Nintendo handhelds, a GPD Win 2, and a GPD Win Max that I've had open at some point or another, along with some experience doing the same for friends.

As such, I did it with proper tools from iFixit and not the ones that came in the kit.

With that context though, it was probably one of the easiest/least finnicky handhelds I've ever disassembled. The most nerve-wracking part was moving the screen over, which is something I've never had great success with until my Deck. A hair dryer + lots of patience, worked out nicely.
