🌟 Big Changes Are Coming!

Hey Brick Builders! 👋

I'm thrilled to share some exciting news about upgrades to my streaming setup! If you've been tuning into my LEGO livestreams, you know I've been rocking a Raspberry Pi 5 powered entirely by custom shell scripts. While this DIY setup has had its charm, it definitely came with its share of hiccups! 😅

🤔 The Struggle Is Real!

One of my biggest struggles has been monitoring the stream quality and audio in real-time. Without a proper way to preview my streams directly from the Raspberry Pi, I've often relied on checking my cell phone to ensure everything is running smoothly. And let's be honest—unexpected surprises have become somewhat of a tradition! 😂

🎉 Goodbye Raspberry Pi, Hello Mac Mini!

Last night, I took a huge step forward and purchased a shiny new Mac Mini! This powerful little machine will soon replace my Raspberry Pi 5, and I'll finally get to use OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) effectively. Here's why I'm super excited:

🌟 Enhanced Viewer Experience: OBS offers superior streaming quality and a professional, polished look.
🎧 Real-Time Stream Monitoring: I'll be able to easily preview and listen to my streams before going live. No more mid-stream surprises!
✅ Increased Reliability: Smooth streams mean more fun and less technical stress!

📅 Stay Tuned for Updates!

The Mac Mini just got ordered, so it might take a bit before it's fully up and running. I'll be sure to share the journey and behind-the-scenes setup as I transition over.

Thanks for being part of this exciting upgrade adventure! Your support means the world, and I can't wait to bring you even better LEGO building streams soon!

Happy Building! 🧱✨
