-
@graf @p @Hyperhidrosis yes

@p @Hyperhidrosis i literally spent a fortune (im into amazon over 8 grand just trying to buy this thing) just to get away from using macbook as my daily driver. i dont know how somebody could buy one every year and be fine with that

@GrungeQueef @graf @Hyperhidrosis Or "commies were so awful that people actually voted for Hitler".

@p @GrungeQueef @Hyperhidrosis @graf
Yes. This is exactly what went down. Westerners - particularly Amerimutts - are clueless to the fact that Weimar Germany was basically in a perpetual state of bloody civil war thanks to jewish Commies trying to take over. Your try to tell normies of the absolute horrors of the era, and they give you a blank stare.
"No no... everybody in Germany just went CRAZY for no reason at all..."

@SilverDeth @GrungeQueef @Hyperhidrosis @graf Economic depression plus power vacuum plus the Treaty of Versailles, it was gonna be rough.

In a laptop?
-
@p @TeaTootler @graf @Hyperhidrosis Is the uconsole for laptops? I just gave a cursory search this is the first I'm hearing about it tbh.
-
@graf @p @Hyperhidrosis I’m excited to get my uConsole, the idea of something easily upgradable and modular really appeals to me
-
@TeaTootler @p @graf @Hyperhidrosis >easily upgradable
I don't know how a normal motherboard setup is hard to upgrade. It's literally putting together legos at this point. I get the "it's too confusing speech" each time I try to convince my family to put one together. It boggles my mind

Well, it's a portable. I think it'd be difficult to make it into a laptop replacement; the DevTerm actually has replaced my laptop, though.

I don't know, works for me. I haven't used my Thinkpad since; when I went out of town a week for a family emergency, I took the DevTerm and my Thinkpad, just in case, but I never booted the Thinkpad. Next time I didn't take the Thinkpad.

It is in the name.

I think ins0mniak has that one, or has a similar one. He likes it.

It's mostly a pebkac issue. I'm spoiled by big monitors both at home and at work. 15.6 inches is usually the limit where I can do most of my work without getting annoyed.

@p @realman543 @TeaTootler @graf @Hyperhidrosis
It's too small for me to use as a laptop, but I think it would be a really nice device for carrying around servers for a quick ssh and maybe some ipmi management. Basically a modern day portable terminal. I find my 15 inch laptop too big for that.
Another option is the NexDock, but that is a laptop without the computer bits.
-
@phnt @Hyperhidrosis @TeaTootler @graf @realman543 Ah, yeah, I mean, because of ratpoison I can switch fast, and I can see two columns of code pretty easily, three if I hide conky; my .ratpoisonrc for the DevTerm has these in it to basically toggle conky:
bind equal set padding 0 0 0 0
bind plus set padding 280 0 0 0
I mean, Unix was written in ed. vi is from the 80s. I can deal with three columns of code.

@p @realman543 @phnt @TeaTootler @graf @Hyperhidrosis I still have yet to figure out whats wrong with my pi 4, i am know reminded i need to look into it.
-
@p i got up to astonishing speeds with the old blackberry keyboards, i can see that
-
@JoshuaSlocum Oh, see, I had an N900. This is a much nicer keyboard than that, but if you could cope with a Blackberry, I think this is fine, more or less.
-
@p thanks! i like the thing, but couldn't get a real feel of what people thought of the keyboard; your description helps a lot
-
@JoshuaSlocum Oh, the other thing I didn't mention, it's possible to thumb-type; some people say they have difficulty doing that, I didn't, so if I'm using it in bed, I'm laying down and holding it up, I thumb-type.
-
@p @realman543 @TeaTootler @graf @Hyperhidrosis what's the keyboard like?
-
@JoshuaSlocum @realman543 @TeaTootler @graf @Hyperhidrosis It's better than you think but maybe not as great as you'd hope. Basically, you can touch-type; I have giant hands and I touch-type on it. (Sometimes just with three fingers per hand, though, and then I use my index fingers to hit the spacebar and use the trackball.)
Like, it's usable. It's fine. It's big enough that it feels like a keyboard. I can type at maybe 80% of normal speed.

@dcc @Hyperhidrosis @TeaTootler @graf @phnt @realman543 Come to LA, we'll swap parts around until we figure out what's fried.
-
@p @aes31494 @Hyperhidrosis yeah but the meal can be all meat covered in gravy
-
@graf @p @Hyperhidrosis It’s depressing how many people just consume and don’t think for themselves
-
@aes31494 @graf @Hyperhidrosis Meal can't be all gravy.

@graf @p @Hyperhidrosis Unfortunately most food you buy isn’t good for you even if it’s marketed as healthy the best way is to make your own food as much as possible
