#chromebook — Public Fediverse posts

🎩 Ah, the noble quest of reverse-engineering a 2008 logic drill program, because who wouldn't want to bring back the glory days of #Windows exclusivity? 🤔 Apparently, tweaking outdated software for Chromebooks and mobiles is the pinnacle of innovation—just ask the 66 die-hard fans in the Philippines who are clearly ahead of their time! 📈✨

Working on Chromebook plus. I used the Appimage. There were a couple of workarounds.

1) it doesn't work with ChromeOS Wayland, so I have to run as "QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb NovelWriter.AppImage"
I symlink the current version to NovelWriter.AppImage so that I can upgrade and downgrade easily.
2) I had to "apt install enchant-2" to get the spellcheck to work.

After that I created a .desktop file so that it appears in the ChromeOS App menu.

Chromebooks are cheap, light, and portable, and have a long battery life. You need one with the "Chromebook plus" specification to run Linux apps.

draft - ChromeOS - Re: GUI installation of .deb packages has been deprecated.

A - so, is it "good" for "them" or "us" or "business" or what. Is it almost trying to make it feel like that sort of "no side loading" type of feeling? Or force people to use the terminal or. Or make it so "dummies" don't install bad things by accident or something? Or is it none of the above or some of the above or we just don't know? Hm. I wonder. bc it was kinda nice having the gui installation capability and this feels like a downgrade. Hm. But even if it is some of the above, and have them force users to the terminal for *initial installation* it doesn't make sense to force users to the terminal for *software updates* as software updates include security stuff that would be beneficial for all users even "dummies" or whatever. Like, sure, maybe the initial installation should require terminal, but the UI should support software updates via the gui.

This $3 USB flash drive installs ChromeOS Flex on your PC

Want to run ChromeOS, but don’t want to buy a Chromebook? Google’s ChromeOS Flex software basically lets you turn an old PC or Mac into a Chromebook by replacing your computer’s operating system with a version of ChromeOS.

First introduced in 2022, ChromeOS Flex is available as a free download. But now Google has announced a pilot project with Back Market to sell a USB flash drive that comes […]

Śmiały ruch Apple w segmencie budżetowym? Tani MacBook może zadebiutować już w tym tygodniu

Wiele wskazuje na to, że Apple zaprezentuje w tym tygodniu urządzenie, o którym plotkowano od lat.

Zamiast skupiać się wyłącznie na rekordach wydajności w drogich modelach Pro, firma z Cupertino prawdopodobnie spróbuje swoich sił w segmencie tanich komputerów. Według nieoficjalnych doniesień, nowy MacBook ma stanowić pomost dla użytkowników, którzy dotychczas wybierali maszyny z systemem Windows lub tanie Chromebooki.

O budżetowym laptopie z logo nadgryzionego jabłka mówi się w kuluarach od niemal roku. Mark Gurman z agencji Bloomberg donosi, że sprzęt może być już gotowy do rynkowego debiutu. Jeśli przecieki się potwierdzą, maszyna zaoferuje aluminiową obudowę dostępną w wielu żywych wariantach kolorystycznych, co stanowiłoby wyraźny ukłon w stronę sektora edukacyjnego i młodszych klientów.

Architektura mobilna w komputerze osobistym

Aby obniżyć koszty produkcji, inżynierowie musieli pójść na pewne kompromisy. Z raportów wynika, że komputer zostanie wyposażony w nieco mniejszy, 12,9-calowy ekran, który prawdopodobnie będzie pozbawiony technologii True Tone i zaoferuje niższą jasność maksymalną niż modele z serii Air.

Najciekawiej zapowiada się jednak kwestia podzespołów. Sercem urządzenia ma być układ A18 Pro – ten sam, który napędza flagowego iPhone’a 16 Pro. Choć hasło „procesor ze smartfona” może brzmieć zachowawczo, warto pamiętać o szerszym kontekście. Architektura mobilnych układów z serii A od lat dorównuje (a nierzadko wręcz przewyższa) wydajnością tradycyjne, laptopowe procesory x86. Wykorzystanie tego chipu w MacBooku to logiczny, strategiczny krok Apple w stronę unifikacji architektury i maksymalnego cięcia kosztów własnych. Z przecieków wynika, że procesorowi będzie towarzyszyć 8 GB pamięci RAM, a wbudowana przestrzeń na dane wyniesie 256 GB lub 512 GB.

Magnes na nowych klientów

Według źródeł Bloomberga, wewnątrz Apple panuje przekonanie, że nowy komputer zaoferuje rewelacyjny stosunek jakości do ceny. Firma ma nadzieję, że tak skalkulowany sprzęt przyciągnie osoby, które dotychczas korzystały z budżetowych maszyn konkurencji. Może to być również istotny argument dla posiadaczy iPhone’ów, którzy do tej pory omijali laptopy z systemem macOS ze względów czysto finansowych.

Największą niewiadomą i jednocześnie głównym atutem ma być ostateczna cena. Nieoficjalne źródła sugerują, że cennik może otwierać kwota około 599 dolarów. Jeśli ten pułap się potwierdzi, będzie to najtańszy przenośny Mac od lat. Przewidywane zainteresowanie jest rzekomo tak duże, że pracownicy salonów Apple Store zostali już uprzedzeni o możliwych nadgodzinach w dniach premiery.

Maraton ogłoszeń startuje lada moment

Ile z tych plotek okaże się prawdą? Przekonamy się w ciągu najbliższych dni. Apple zaplanowało nietypowy, kilkudniowy maraton ogłoszeń, który wystartuje w poniedziałek, 2 marca, a zakończy się specjalnym wydarzeniem z udziałem mediów w środę, 4 marca. Oprócz budżetowego komputera, analitycy spodziewają się również odświeżonych modeli MacBooków Air i Pro z układami M5, nowych iPadów oraz premiery iPhone’a 17e.

MacBook Pro z ekranem dotykowym i Dynamic Island – nowe szczegóły

Lilbits: Snapdragon X Chromebooks, Pixel 7a battery swelling, and a Liberux NEXX Linux phone progress update

Earlier this year the folks at Liberux announced plans to build a Linux smartphone that combines the kind of features you’d expect from a modern phone with the hardware you’d expect from a pretty good single-board computer.

My late evening started by powerwashing (both outside and resetting) an old #Acer C720P #Chromebook, and installing #chrx with #GalliumOS. That went smoothly for the most part.

Installing #Lem was a PITA. First I had to inform the installation script wth galliumos was, then I had to debug the 20 or so #qlot stack traces. For the love of #lisp.

I’m too tired now to play with it 🥱😴

draft - People - chromeos requires 8gb ram. I don't care if there's a bunch of 4gb ram devices. If you please vote a little bit with your wallet and get at least 8gb ram, and at least a core i3 / ryzen3, it's gonna be better.

Vote with your wallet. stop buying 4gb ram Chromebooks.

Chromebooks with 8gb ram Intel core i3 / amd ryzen3 or higher please. ..

Essentially, Chromebook plus is kinda required to have a good time on chromeos.

Let's rid the market of 4gb ram chromeos devices by just ignoring them completely. They're not worth it unless you get them for $40 bucks.

8gb ram core i3 Chromebook plus is more worth $250 for a good sale of $350 MSRP Chromebook plus

draft - i think 15.6 inch touchscreen chromebooks with 16gb ram, and core i5 should be chromebook plus for around $400 going on sale to $300.

the 14 inch ones with only 8gb ram and core i3 should not be chromebook plus. they should be the "regular chromebooks". all of them should include a touch screen and be sold around $300 going on sale to $200.

the smaller ones with only 4gb ram and anything less powerful than a core i3 and no touchscreen should never be made again.

any other fans of this extension?

no import required - uses your existing chrome bookmarks, but with a nice full screen grid view of browser bookmarks with favicons automatically applied - makes nice internet launcher, including 3x3 app folders, similar to iOS / android home screen. Supports drag and drop. changes are synced to Google cloud since its a launcher gui for your existing bookmarks

Uses doc mode layout (left to right, top to bottom) for anyone familiar with the physics of the iPad / iPhone home screen

what do you think?

It's called Favorites New Tab Page

Lilbits: Apple Intelligence skips the EU

Earlier this month Apple unveiled some of the new AI features coming to its smartphones, tablets, and laptop and desktop computers. But it looks like not everyone will get these so-called “Apple Intelligence” features.
We already knew that you’d need an Apple A17 Pro or faster processor, which leaves behind anyone that […]

Another boost of #Devuan in my estimation of it.

On the #corebootbook, onboard sound usually does not work. It works with #GalliumOS, which was designed for #chromebook hardware, but Gallium is getting old and isn't likely to see another release.

I was surprised to see that sound is working just fine on the #corebootbook in Devuan.

I'm not sure exactly why. Sound does not work on this laptop in #LInuxMInt, LDME5 or #VoidLinux.

But it is a pleasant surprise and makes me like Devuan even more.

I installed :void: #linux on a #coreboot Dell #chromebook last night. I think it's the first time I've installed void. It's install process is similar to #netbsd and I can see how void was inspired to some degree by #bsd.

I haven't used it much. Still learning how to use the xbps package manager and exploring the system.

I think there may be things built into #galliumOS that make the keyboard and trackpad work as they should. For sure that's with the keyboard, but I suspect the trackpad too.

How Ubuntu Brought This Chromebook Back from the Dead

“It’s alive! It’s aliiiiiive!” Alright, I’m not exactly Dr Frankenstein, but I did exhume the corpse of a forgotten Chromebook from its eternal resting place (my bookcase) to enact a macabre ritual. My goal? To bring it back to life.
