I have the older “Google WiFi” mesh and I was able to install OpenWRT on them. You might want to see if that’s an option for yours before spending money on a new system.

Another option would be to redirect logs to a ramdisk. That’s what I’m doing on a RPI to try to minimize writes on the sd card. The biggest downside is that you lose your logs when you power off the device, but if the alternative is not having logs at all, I think it’s still a better option.

Of course, installing a proper drive is still the best solution.

It never stopped working for me, besides the outage the other day. I’m guessing it’s because I’m a mod for a sub. They said from the beginning that they wouldn’t break things for mods, and surprisingly, it seems that they’ve kept their word on that.

Not much any more. I brought it to PAX this year to keep me entertained while waiting in lines, but otherwise it’s barely come out of its case this year.

I don’t blame the deck, though I’ve scarcely played any video games this year, in general. When I got it, I played a bunch of the Witcher 3, but then they released an update that completely broke the game on decks. After that, my go-to game (when I play) became Cities Skylines, which just feels far more natural with a mouse.
