I have the AAWireless dongle for my car and one of the advanced options is to “remove tap restriction” to allow over 6 taps in succession. Bonus, you can convert wired AA to wireless AA.
if you get/have AAWireless dongle you can set it to only connect when it also connects to the radio Bluetooth.
If not You can get a toggle switch USB cable to make disconnecting easier.
Have not tried, but Sonoff has a usb switch that you can control remotely and could potentially use Google Home. https://sonoff.tech/product/diy-smart-switches/micro/
The good news is anyone can grab the GrapheneOS PDF viewer. https://github.com/GrapheneOS/PdfViewer Or from the Google Play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.grapheneos.pdfviewer.play
I have that exact machine in my electronics “graveyard”.
Peppermint OS was my GO-TO for speed and driver support out of the box. You can also stick in a 2GB SODIMM of ram. It will only recognize 1.5GB but still 50% more ram.

Costco uses cost-plus pricing and caps its markup at 14% for outside brands and 15% for in-house brands (Kirkland). Other stores that use “value based pricing” are seeing some stuff marked up 600%. I only shop Costco a few times a year, but they are not where we need to focus on price gouging.
