     Yeah for the same price you could have gotten a laptop with a better keyboard. I looked into reviews of those things when they were new and it was all negative, apparently the keyboard is super awkward.

     Can you atleast SSH into your server with it out and about? That's the only practical use case I see, but a pinephone with the keyboard case can do the same.
     
     Can it run Crysis?

     i know you mentioned this before, where were you looking? i'm swimming in a lake of thinkpads and their parts. so far the lake has a positive flow and has yet to slow.

     @charlie_root @dcc I got the DevTerm specifically because it was getting harder and harder to get replacement Thinkpads once the new ones became intolerable. Parts you can source from wherever, easy to disassemble (no screwdriver needed, unless you are disassembling the keyboard), batteries are standard-ass 18650s, three-button mouse device.

     @charlie_root @dcc Proprietary batteries, proprietary chargers, no circuit diagrams or STL files in case you need to replace/repair/hack, hard to disassemble, no ARM/RISC-V options, and the Thinkpad keyboards are all chicklets now, totally unusable. Plus for a thing twice the size of the DevTerm, there's no excuse to have *fewer* USB ports than a DevTerm.

     I have a stack of Thinkpads. I have not used my x220 since the DevTerm arrived January of last year.

     I have one; fuck reviews, it's a delightful machine. The keyboard is fine. I can sit down and work on this thing.

     No, but you can get 18650s anywhere: it is a standard size.
     
     > Gonna get a nice wiki change 3 years after the fact like Pinephone, asckually dont use aftermarket batteries with a higher compacity, it will burn out valuable chips... like your modem!!
     
     They don't even provide batteries, so if there were issues with any manufacturer's batteries, that would appear on the forums pretty quickly. (Also instead of just some broadcast information or a stupid Discord channel, there's a forum. People hack the devices a lot.)
     
     The PinePhone is a product designed to be a phone, this is a hackable computer and a little more open, it's not very product-y.

     @threat @charlie_root @dcc The usual places: newegg, eBay. If they don't make it any more, I don't want to get into the aftermarket DIY thing on a closed system: it's like ban-evading on Twitter instead of just going to fedi, better to just rip the bandaid off and either start getting into the "Shove a Pi with LCD and batteries into a pelican case" scene or hop to an open system like the DevTerm.

     Luckily, they provide RSS feeds of search queries, so you can just wait until the right thing at the right price appears.
     
     > this will eventually go away so while you've adapted i'm a statue.
     
     Ha, I adapted so that I could become a statue: "I want a thing I can get parts for no matter what happens."
     
     It wasn't much of an adaptation, though. Just procured a device from a different manufacturer.
