   Project mention: OpenWrt Two Approval | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-03-28

   What I would want to have some company to make one device that would at the same time be:

   1) router

   2) smart tv (airplay, chromecast, miracast)

   3) smart speaker

   4) smart home gateway (matter)

   5) wireless charging pad

   6) private cloud (nextcloud)

   7) private backup (removable nvm)

   8) private vpn / dns / pihole / adguard

   9) mini server

   Everything in a nice package and preconfigure and ideally modular (upgradable ssd, wifi).

   UmbrelOS [0] is interesting but its quite expensive and its only for home server (no router, no smart speaker, smart tv, wireless charging pad). Apple TV has a great hardware and cheap but so limited for 3rd party. Wish they made it modular that you could attach magnetic speaker, wireless charging pad and had some usb for attaching 4g modem.
