Craiglist to end free car listings
Will you pay $5 to list a car on Craigslist? Probably not. Especially when you can list it for free on Facebook, LetGo, OfferUp, etc...

More on sending audio to HomePod |
By:
Eric
Continuing on my series of how the heck do I play something to my expensive HomePod speakers... You can use an app to AirPlay most any audio to your HomePod with a Line-Level 3.5mm Audio Input Adapter Cable. Video evidence is here.

iTunes Star Ratings macOS app |
By:
Eric
Here is a little menu bar app to make it easier to set a star rating on the currently playing iTunes track. I made this because I use star ratings heavily to organize my music, and have a lot of tracks without ratings.

Amazon Echo Dot using Apple HomePod for audio. |
By:

Amazon Echo Dot using Apple HomePod for audio.
It's possible to configure a CHIP or Raspberry Pi to act as a Bluetooth Speaker and AirPlay audio to a HomePod. This would enable you to play any Bluetooth audio source to a HomePod.
For the Next Thing Co. CHIP - I flashed it to boot into Debian Linux - and installed the following from GitHub -
CHIP Bluetooth Speaker - This is a script that turns your CHIP into a Bluetooth audio receiver. Among the packages this script installs is Pulseaudio which you can configure to output the system audio to a named (fifo) pipe. (Check out the Pulseaudio section here)
forked-daapd - This will AirPlay audio to a destination you select via a web-interface. It can read and auto-play a named pipe of audio when placed in the music library directory.
There are some issues with audio delay which I hope to work out.

Where are the pocket digital TVs? |
By:
Eric
I suppose with smartphones in every hand, nobody has the desire for a pocket digital television. A television that can pull a digital over-the-air signal with no need for internet. The other day I decided I wanted one to take to football games and didn't find much of a selection. I did finally come upon this RCA 4.3″ Portable/Pocket Digital ATSC TV which is only $70 new, and ordered it. Looking forward to testing it out!

Cheap authentic iPhone accessories |
By:
Eric
 PRO TIP: If you are in need of an authentic iPhone charger, lightning cable, and earphones - search for empty iPhone box on eBay. A lot of folks list their iPhone boxes for sale and include all the original accessories. Cheap.

5SecondsApp reaches one-million downloads! |
By:
Eric
5SecondsApp has reached the one million download mark in just over four years in the iOS App Store. Kinda cool. This does not count Google Play downloads (which are much, much lower).
