Arco is gonna be the name of my bike, if I ever finish building it, and I was thinking about setting it up with a Pi and some voice assistant integration (don’t ask me how. One thing at a time).

I think that being able to wipe the tracker with a factory reset is a pretty big drawback for software-side, but —and I don’t think this is possible— if you could load it into the micro-SD and make that run the tracker, I (for some reason) see that being more robust or redundant.

Paint.net is nice because it has plugin support.
