     @romin @sun Yes. It is very cool, but in terms of actually performing work, it is not quite as useful as the DevTerm.

     @p @romin do you do real work on a devterm?

     @noyoushutthefuckupdad @p @romin It's a little dot-matrix printer that prints to a reel of paper! It's really cool. I have some printouts from one I'll share pics with sometime.

     @romin @sun Surprisingly, Firefox had no trouble. qt6's build process is a fuck starting from trying to set the compiler.

     > do you do real work on a devterm?
     
     Yes. It has completely replaced my Thinkpad. I do most of my reading on it, I do all of my away-from-desk computing on it. When I had to fly out last year to visit grandpa as he was on his way out and help me mum with all that, I only used the DevTerm for about a week and didn't have any trouble. I've spent the day with it before. Even the RISC-V one (single 1GHz core, 1GB RAM) is usable for work; longer compile times if you're doing it locally, but it runs drawterm fine, so I can get to the Plan 9 machine, it runs urxvt/dvtm/screen/ssh just fine, client software for everything runs great, except the client software for the web. Browsers work fine on the A-06, though. I had to resort to hacks to compile qt6 because it wanted something like 20GB of RAM to link, but that would have failed on my Thinkpad also.

     Oh, they're fun. I wrote up a lengthy comparison some time recently, I can try to dig it up, but effectively the uConsole is fun and it's good in a pinch, the DevTerm is actually usable for work. I have used the uConsole as a second screen, like, run a barrier server on the DevTerm and then a client on the uConsole and you can see docs on one screen while the code is on the other.
