  1. 🎩 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 🤔 Apparently, tweaking outdated software for Chromebooks and mobiles is the pinnacle of innovation—just ask the 66 die-hard fans in the Philippines who are clearly ahead of their time! 📈✨

  2. 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.

  7. The #Steam integration with #ChromeOS is a wonder. I really have to commend all the work #Valve and #Google have done.

    I installed Steam and some lighter games on my #Chromebook and the installation was seamless without any hitches or tinkering.

    One videogame (Wargroove) was missing its intro video but that was about it.

    Steam took care of installing and automatically selecting all the #Linux runtimes and #Proton versions. I wasn't involved in any way.

  8. the linux version of chrome is essentialy private space for chromeOS, because its essentially a version of the chrome browser that's *not* tied to the operating system itself.

    this was not the case with lacros, which, while allowing multiple chrome profiles, was still tied to the os.

    and that is why, i think, google should legitimately make and maybe market something more like *that* as a "thing".

    it's better than lacros.

  9. 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

  10. installing linux version of chrome browser on chromeOS via the terminal

    1:

    "wget dl.google.com/linux/direct/goo" (without the quotes)

    2:

    sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

    3. Fix Dependencies: If you encounter any dependency issues, use the following command:

    sudo apt-get -f install

    #linuxchromebrowser
    #chromedebian
    #debianchrome
    #chromebook
    #linuxchromeonchromebook

    this is essentially android 15 private space but for chromeos (a separate partition inside of a single user space, in addition to the actual multiple user profiles which are better but sometimes you need access to a separate user space while inside of a single user space)

    so i could add the hashtag

    #privatespacechromebook

    obviously actual user profiles are better than private space, but sometimes you need to access one of those user profiles inside of a single user space

    #privatespace
    #android15
    #android15privatespace

    for example, my premium gemini account is attached to userB.

  11. 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.

  12. 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

  13. dear google please just keep the lacros flag or at least immediately replace it with a "enable chrome profiles" flag.

    chrome profiles are too important to get rid of.

  14. draft - on chromeos in the play store, the opera browser is a full desktop style browser when you download it from chromeos.

    firefox and other browsers should do the same.

    give us a full desktop level browser, or at least the option to do so when downloading from a chromebook via the play store

  15. 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 […]

  17. draft - google, thank you for chromeOS. could we get an option to install android apks without "turn on chrome OS developer mode to install apps from sources other than the play store" and without having to use the terminal? any way it could be relatively secure as well? thanks

  18. draft - chromeOS needs a static grid for icons/apps. the launcher is a grid but you can destroy the manual layout with one click. the shelf doesn't have a one click destroy manual layout option, but its one long line and not a grid. plus you can't pin an app folder there either.

    if you're going to let us destroy our manual layout with one click, at least give us an option to "sort manually" in addition to "sort by color" and "sort by name".

  19. Decided to go with the #Penoval USI 2.0 stylus with my #LenovoDuet 3.

    The pen itself feels really nice - slightly more slender than my Lenovo Pen. Love that it recharges off USB-C.

    The pencil tip is also really nice.

    It doesn't fit in the stylus holder, unfortunately, but it DOES magnet nicely to the crease in the back of the case.

    Writes really smoothly. Haven't had it long enough to test battery life.
