(btw this development pocket reform has mainly preproduction parts, that's why some details look different from what you're used to)

@deBaer nice!!

@ln i wonder how instant coffee + bag of electrolyte powder would taste lol

portrait pocket... could even be ok with external keyboard :3

@timonsku @jacqueline (background: we have a pretty complicated custom web app in rust running all our financial stuff, and reform-setup-wizard is rust&gtk4. our shop is rails. and i need to deal with C on a daily basis in the kernel etc. i also have a hobby DAW which is a mess of C and C++. all the languages are fun if they work!)

@timonsku @jacqueline i write and like both c and rust but i write a lot less rust because the mental effort and compile times are higher, and c is so simple for just quickly doing dirty stuff... actually i have someone to write most of the rust for me *ahem*

@wiredfire @jacqueline thanks for the insights, and no worries, it's just interesting for me to learn about different computer buying/owning perspectives

@wesdottoday officially one, meant for system controller interfacing on the motherboard. you could also use some pins of one of the hdmi ports if you don't need 2 displays, or customize the adapter. depends on what you wanna do

As a convenience, we now offer the alternative WiFi card + antennas bundle for MNT Pocket Reform in the shop: https://shop.mntre.com/products/mnt-pocket-reform-wi-fi-bundle?taxon_id=13

remember Poken? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poken)

@wiredfire @jacqueline out of curiosity/market research, what would be the max amount you were willing to spend for such a device?

a way to remap keys on MNT (Pocket) Reform (or any linux system) without firmware hacking, with evremap: https://community.mnt.re/t/remapping-keyboard-without-firmware-modification-adding-sysrq-key/687/6

finally people discovered the easter egg ^^^^

@z3ntu yep i just have to free up some time and get back to @cas for a hacking session

do you have a recommendation for a web based shared calendar, mainly for work (attendance) planning among a team? also on gcal it is irritating for me that one can't scroll, but there are fixed month boundaries where you have to switch the full view...
