For me `isoinfo` doesn't like the format of the .iso file ("CD-ROM is NOT in ISO 9660 format"). Using bsdtar worked though:

  bsdtar xOf xxx.iso initrd | gzip -dc | cpio -idv --no-absolute-filenames "root/fumagician*"
(And of course then running `root/fumagician/fumagician` in either case.)

Personally I find "wrist warmers" work well. I don't like fingerless gloves when typing since material between my fingers is annoying, but wrist warmers are like fingerless mits (no individual finger holes).

I agree the number of attack vectors is significantly reduced in comparison to the same version of Android on a smartphone (particularly if the user is making little or no use of the music player's already limited app store). But there are still many, many CVEs for Bluetooth, for example. Taking the Bluetooth example, I would be happier connecting to a hire car's audio system with a version of Android that is getting patched than a version that is not, and may have known vulnerabilities. I don't want my DAP to potentially be a vector for transferring malware around.

I would like something like this but one thing that makes Android-based music players like this unappealing is the versions of Android they start with. When this is releases in February, Android 13 will have been out for six months. Android devices don't get security updates for long enough as it is, so starting out the gate with a non-current version of Android isn't great.

On a related note, the interviews with homeless people on the YouTube channel Soft White Underbelly were a real eyeopener to me. I highly recommend it, but some of them are extremely hard to watch.

He also just released the second edition of his book, Taking Charge of Adult ADHD, this year. That book (along with Atomic Habits) seems to be the one most suggested by the ADHD subredit's users...at least for those who can manage to make it through a book.

I recently watched the following series of videos by Russell Barkley who I believe is one of the world's leading ADHD researchers. I think it's a good place to start because it describes the scientific understanding of what ADHD is, which I feel has given me a more solid grounding to evaluating other things I read and hear about ADHD, some of which turns out to be innacurate.

Lex Fridman had an interesting podcast on IQ a few months ago:

What? Power is the rate at which energy is supplied. Power and energy from one source are both exactly proportional to power and energy, respectively, from another source. Fuel, or cost of infrastructure, of whatever it is you're referring to here when you say "energy", isn't energy.
