  • Still using my release edition 3DS here (modded to hell lol).

    I think a big part of the popularity is the portability. The whole folding family of devices from Nintendo naturally needs no case (the screen is protected), and it fits easily in pockets where the switch 1/2 doesn’t. Also it has a huge library of games that you can get for “”free””).

    As for the more recent popularity, I think with how much Nintendo is jacking up the price of the switch2 and games, of course some people will look to older hardware, especially if they never experienced it when it was new. I’ve been a diehard Nintendo guy since the GBC and N64, but I’m skipping the switch 2.







  • For zigbee dongles, take a look at the SLZB-06. I used a sonoff usb dongle at first (which was fine), but then switched to the slzb which works nicer and lets you run it independently from your home assistant machine over Ethernet (you can still use usb if you like though).

    I have like 50 ikea zigbee lights running off mine (plus the same amount of other zigbee stuff) and it works super stable with zigbee2mqtt.
