Inspired by @wesbos photo-frame project, I got @OmarchyLinux running natively on a $50 digital photo frame.
Allwinner A33, 1 GB RAM, Mali-400 GP, Arch Linux ARM booted from microSD.
I had to build a custom SD boot path, adapt Omarchy for armv7, fix display/touch rotation, bring up the AIC8800 Wi‑Fi driver, and manually enable the UART Bluetooth controller for BlueZ.
Now it boots straight into Hyprland/Omarchy with touch, on-screen keyboard, Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth LE mouse/keyboard, and the original eMMC still untouched.
Has anyone else run Omarchy on one of these? @dhh

Got Snake running INSIDE the @EvenRealities G2 firmware!
Not an app, not streamed from my phone. The game lives in the glasses, as its own screen, next to the stock ones. Not even connected to bluetooth!
Haven’t seen anyone publish a native game on these yet!

"But can it run Doom?" My glasses can now! @EvenRealities G2
Finally found a use for the Touch Bar: my Muse lives in it now! @alexandr_wang @natfriedman
It wanders around, chases fireflies, and you can pet it. Tap it, ask out loud, and the answer runs along the bar.

@natfriedman @alexandr_wang The glasses are the @EvenRealities G2. Filmed straight through the lens with a phone, no overlay. It's my real Muse on the other end. The mascot is my own pixel redraw!
Watched The Odyssey with live captions on my @EvenRealities G2!
Turns out the AI cues thought I WAS Odysseus, and coached me through the whole film in real time 😂
Menelaus tells his war story, and it's convinced he's trying to expose me. Circe offers me food, it tells me to refuse in case it's drugged. And when the film strays from Homer, it decides Menelaus is lying to test me!

can @typesafeai Jev count the r's in strawberry?
no.
47% says 3, 47% says 2. a coin flip, same as every LLM.
On 70% on 168 test words, it undercounts doubled letters like everyone
then I gave it the letters instead of the word: ["s","t","r","a","w","b","e","r","r","y"]
168/168. same model, same question, 260ms
@CompleteSkeptic is this expected?

Got native direction-of-arrival running on the @EvenRealities glasses: I can now identify where sound is coming from, turning as I turn my head. No phone involved, straight through my MacBook!
Testing while watching a @digitalix video on the @NVIDIAAI DGX Spark!

Dentist did a 3D X-ray of my jaw before a root canal and said I wouldn't be able to open the raw data, it needs specialized software. It's 800 DICOM files. Asked Claude Code to make me a viewer. Two prompts later... this is nicer than what he showed me on his screen.

Got Meta's new Muse Glimmer 30B running on my MacBook (M3 Max, 96GG) and tested the serving options available so far.
