The Raspberry Pi used by Tudo’s activity indicator occasionally locks up completely. This may be related to the age of the hardware, such as a failing SD card or general Raspberry Pi instability. Regardless of the root cause, enabling the hardware watchdog would allow the device to recover automatically from these kinds of failures. It would be useful for the installer to prompt the user to optionally enable the hardware watchdog during setup. This would make the activity indicator more resilient, especially on older or less reliable hardware.
