Crowdfunding some advice: I have a "tech bag" within which I'll sometimes carry around a few single purpose devices, mostly to the theme parks while I'm there. Things like my Tangara (for music), my TrimUI Brick (for games), my Kobo Clara BW (for books), and so on. They're all small, low-power devices that'll last a while on a charge and are typically ready to go whenever I am.

The one exception is my "portable TV" device, which is a Pixel Tablet. It's the largest and heaviest device in my bag, it runs GrapheneOS, and while it does last quite a while on a charge when in use, the standby time is awful compared to everything else in the bag because it's a full computer.

All I really need is a screen that can connect to my Jellyfin server over Tailscale and play videos. If the Pixel Tablet is the best solution for that, I guess I'll stick with it. I'm just hoping for something a bit more single purpose and with slightly better standby time if I can get it. And a headphone jack wouldn't hurt.
