05:35 schestowitz[TR2]; chromeos?

05:36 IsambardPrince; Yeah.

05:37 IsambardPrince; It doesn't handle Android and Linux being open all that well.

05:37 IsambardPrince; It's got a dual core Celeron from like 4 years ago and 4 GB RAM.

05:37 schestowitz[TR2]; right

05:37 IsambardPrince; So it's really slow.

05:37 schestowitz[TR2]; get leaner softwar

05:38 IsambardPrince; You can sideload Android applications but you'll need to put it in developer mode.

05:38 IsambardPrince; It offers to share the XBOX 360 controller with Linux.

05:39 IsambardPrince; But RetroArch from Debian doesn't see it.

05:39 IsambardPrince; I'l trying to get the one from Flatpak to see if that'll work.

05:39 IsambardPrince; I think 16 GB of RAM would work out fine.

05:40 IsambardPrince; It's just asking too much of a system with 4 GB to have all this open.

05:40 IsambardPrince; The last time I used a computer with only 4 GB it was like almost 20 years ago.

05:41 IsambardPrince; It was plenty then.

05:41 IsambardPrince; Without all these libraries and runtimes.

05:42 IsambardPrince; I may install Flex on my old Yoga laptop and see how that works.

6 AM, August 8

06:02 IsambardPrince; Retroarch for Android does work.

06:02 IsambardPrince; The one for Debian didn't work so well.

06:02 IsambardPrince; The one for Android recognizes my wired XBOX 360 controller.

06:02 IsambardPrince; So we've got all my old games taken care of.

06:05 IsambardPrince; Also, I need a new controller.

06:57 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2]: The wires broke.

06:57 IsambardPrince; I bought a used one on ebay with no breakaway cable. I already have a breakaway cable.

06:58 IsambardPrince; This one doesn't look like there's much wear and tear on the controller. Most look pretty bad, but the xbox 360 was released nearly 20 years ago.

06:59 IsambardPrince; It's the only controller I know for sure works well.

06:59 IsambardPrince; The aftermarket ones may work with the XBOX 360 but with Linux they can do pretty much anything.

7 AM, August 8

07:29 IsambardPrince; The Chromebook seems pretty buggy.

07:29 IsambardPrince; So far the only VPN app that hasn't totally flaked out is OpenVPN for Android.

07:29 IsambardPrince; But along the way I found out my XBOX 360 controller was broken and ordered a new one. :(

07:30 IsambardPrince; So far the "Is the Chromebook an actual computer yet?" thing is looking rather "No."

07:31 IsambardPrince; At least the Macbook would probably run RetroArch and Wireguard VPNs.

07:51 IsambardPrince; I don't really want to get into installing Wine and trying to make that work when Linux (Crostini) is such a mess it frequently falls over and dies because you asked a Linux application to open, or just typed a command into the terminal.

08:45 IsambardPrince; They look nice but the build quality is very bad.

08:45 IsambardPrince; And they're overpriced.

08:46 IsambardPrince; Google's policy on the Pixelbook is that your warranty is void if you turn on Developer Mode.

08:46 IsambardPrince; So other manufacturers might do this to you as well.

08:47 IsambardPrince; You can take control of it and make it run anything you want but it'll cost you the warranty.

08:47 IsambardPrince; This might not even be legal.

08:48 IsambardPrince; Federal law says to void your warranty they have to prove that the warranty claim had something to do with something you did wrong. So if you put a Chromebook in developer mode and then the battery fails while it's in warranty, it would be illegal to deny the warranty claim unless they can prove that Developer Mode leads to a failed battery.

08:48 IsambardPrince; So like, for cars....

08:49 IsambardPrince; If you want to send them in for a warranty claim on the engine and they inspect it and find you used the wrong oil and it caused the oil pump to blow out, they don't have to fix that.

08:49 IsambardPrince; But the warranty on the rest of the car is still in effect.

08:49 IsambardPrince; You just have to pay for whatever damage was your fault.

13:19 IsambardPrince; The 2020 Chromebook was put together with budget parts.

13:19 IsambardPrince; Including a CPU they were buying wholesale for only about twenty dollars.

13:19 IsambardPrince; And it shows.

13:19 IsambardPrince; The only reason we had it was so he could use Google Meet during the lockdown.

13:20 IsambardPrince; For school.

13:20 IsambardPrince; 4 GB RAM on any computer would be painful these days.

13:20 IsambardPrince; It's not even about the OS. It's the browsers. The runtimes.

13:22 IsambardPrince; ----

13:22 IsambardPrince; They had a $300 off sale.

13:22 IsambardPrince; It was $669.

13:22 schestowitz[TR2]; sometimes i even get them free

13:22 schestowitz[TR2]; rianne uses 4 PCS iirc

13:22 IsambardPrince; But then I also had the $60 AmEx credit.

13:22 schestowitz[TR2]; maybe 3

13:22 schestowitz[TR2]; it helps her multitask

13:22 IsambardPrince; So after the credits it was like $600.

13:22 IsambardPrince; Well, less.

13:22 IsambardPrince; I would never pay $1,000 for this.

13:23 schestowitz[TR2]; we even sold one inm ebay

13:23 IsambardPrince; But it's really nice for $600.

13:23 schestowitz[TR2]; it was too many

13:23 IsambardPrince; I also threw in a USB/HDMI hub.

13:23 schestowitz[TR2]; spinning off a new one does not take long

13:23 schestowitz[TR2]; i can do that in the background

13:23 schestowitz[TR2]; while doing something else

13:23 IsambardPrince; They marked it down to $30 if I bought it at the same time as the laptop.

13:24 IsambardPrince; So basically you can plug the power cord into the hub then plug the hub into the USB-C charging port and that way you're powering the laptop and getting all these ports off to the side.

13:24 IsambardPrince; I've been meaning to buy a hub anyway.

13:24 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2]: Bundled charger is only 45 watts. I have a 65 watt Chromebook charger, two actually.

13:25 IsambardPrince; I have one for the phone and one for this computer since the original Lenovo charger failed.

23:56 schestowitz[TR2]; Makes sense. But I never was a fan of Xen, for many reasons I can elaborate on (TR also covered that).

23:56 schestowitz[TR2]; I thought and thought... and cannot come up with a suitable recommendation. Which is... sad.

23:56 schestowitz[TR2]; > too "woke". Am I off the mark?

23:56 schestowitz[TR2]; GAFAM demands CoC before investing or sponsoring. It's a pretext for "creative" censorship, or removing participants they do not like.
