Pinephone

• Peter Gamma owns a Pinephone, it took him about a month to install LibreOffice on it, but then he put his Pinephone on the screed.

Muse Headband

• He owns several Muse headbands, but he did not find an easy solution for sensor streaming, so he will replace the Muse Headband as soon as possible.

products which are based on the ADS1299 EEG chip from Texas Instruments

• He owns an OpenBCI Cyton, he never tested.
• And an OpenBCI WIFI shield, he never tested.
• And a second WIFI shield which was sent do him instead of a OpenBCI Bluetooth dongle, but it was not worth sending it back.
• He never used these OpenBCI products.
• He neither used or tesed OpenBCI products to the present day.
• And he will replace these OpenBCI products or add products which are based on InfluxDB and TGAM EEG modules as soon as possible.

The Pinephone, products which are based on the ADS1299 EEG chip from TI, and the Muse Headband, are these outdated concepts in the year 2024? What is your opinion about this topic? Write it in the comments below.
