@mntmn @theawesomerandomness Can't come soon enough. There's a short somewhere in my 2.0 board causing the barrel jack to heat up and come unsoldered. After the 5th time reflowing connectors for the barrel jack I glued it down. Which was a mistake that let out some magic smoke.

@mntmn Found out the lockup issue with gnome was the "burn my windows" extension. Makes sense as it adds fancy effects to window animations and I only had issues when closing windows. Never tried it on earlier SoMs as I didn't want to add overhead with effects.

3D cube works without issue though so I'm happy.

@mntmn I'd like to see a mod for the steam deck oled screen. It's got a nice matte etching on the glass. Plus it's just a little bigger and OLED.

Maybe I'll get around to trying to figure it out one day.

@mntmn I've been having issues with gnome on the rk3588 both pocket and classic. Occasionally when closing a window it just freezes. Sometimes it unfreezes and continues after 10 seconds, usually it's a hard reboot. Other than that it's been awesome on rk3588 and my reforms.

@nixCraft nano or geany. though sometimes I am forced to use vi/vim.

@mntmn @joeturner It would be nice to have some spare key caps printed up in different sizes. I swapped hyper key to Ctrl and ... to hyper but would like to have labels match but those keys are all different sizes. I'll take a poll on the forum to see if there's a desire for that.

@nixCraft What Elon Musk sleeps in.

@mntmn Sadly I think I'm at my computer limit between classic reform, pocket reform and a framework. Plus a pile of older laptops.

@mntmn @theawesomerandomness Can't come soon enough. I just blew up something on my 2.0 board. :(

@mntmn more XCOM like but aliens dark descent is pretty good if you like the aliens universe.

@mntmn Mr Robot is pretty good!

@mntmn I thought the lower left connector was wrong but took a look at the fire fly board and it is indeed different.

@mntmn Just saw this pop up. Might be what you want. https://blog.thunderbird.net/2024/08/plan-less-do-more-introducing-appointment-by-thunderbird/

@mntmn excellent news. I tried this on og imx8 board and it wasn't very playable. A311d was better but not stable. Excited to play on rk3588.

@mntmn Yeah it's a bit of a rough start but starts to get good season 2-3 and by the end you'll curse them for ending it early. It was setting up season 5 to be great.

Like all trek it has some stinker episodes and some truly great ones.

The theme song changes for season 3, but only makes it a little more up tempo. Still awful. Best intro is still VOY.

@mntmn My old Plasma TV had a clean function I ran every so often that got rid of any artifacts/ghosting. Basically just a white bar on a black background that swept across the screen for 15 minutes.

@mntmn @holo_memory From US I think I use "thumb drive" most often or just "USB drive" but that is more vague. I think "USB stick" must come from them being just about the same size as a stick of gum. Why we call a piece of gun a stick is beyond me.

@mntmn So this means we will have rare, limited edition misprints to sell for outrageous prices in 30 years. I better put mine right in a display box.

@mntmn @mitscherdinger @gsora As what always happens when I preorder stuff, that timeline means it's inevitable that my rcore module and pocket reform arrive on the same day and I won't know which to play with first.

@mntmn could be like the sharp memory lcds on the playdate or Swiss micros calculators.
