I was listening to Linux After Dark (or was it Friday Night Deploy?) and it was asserted that 8th gen intel is no longer the gold standard for daily driver laptops in the used market.

What do you think?

@itsfoss #tuxido #system76 are the small ones #lenovo lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/resul not realy a good page, searched for laptop: linux. ... thow, linux is 140 USD cheaper (no a device of 2359 USD...) 😞

Aha: there is also a 678 USD option with Ubuntu! lenovo.com/us/en/configurator/

750 EUR: #Dell: dell.com/nl-nl/shop/game-lapto

1.00 EUR = 1.09 USD 2025-04-08

Työpaikalla on viikko painiskeltu sen kanssa, että kaikkien #työkannettava't eivät yhdistä #verkko'on. Siitä on tullut päivittäin IT-tuen raportteja. Alkuviikosta selvisi, että kyse on #laiteohjelmisto'n ja #Windows'in keskinäisestä ongelmasta, jonka korjaus vaatisi #laitetoimittaja'n eli #Dell'in toimia.

Nyt minulle (jolla verkko ON toiminut) iski kesken päivän pakollinen laiteohjelmistopäivitys. Jännittää… #atkjuttuja #työjuttuja

Now the best for last! The Arteck HB030B #Bluetooth #Keyboard.

This is a cheap keyboard that you can still find new. It has a chiclet design, is backlit & doesn’t compromise much on the layout other than messing a bit with the Alt, Ctrl and Windows key button arrangement.

Amazingly this Bluetooth 5.1 keyboard connects to all of my iPaqs (111, 210, HX2495, HX2795b) & my #Dell Axim X51V using Passkey 1234!

This is the #Ipad Kensington Key Folio Pro K39357US.

This #Bluetooth chiclet #Keyboard is fantastic! It is sleek, responsive and feels modern. It also has a decent layout and doesn’t forget the right shift key like the previous Key Folio.

Once again it effortlessly connected to all of my iPaqs (111, 210, HX2495, HX2795b) and surprisingly also connected to my #Dell Axim X51V using Passkey 1234!

First up is the Freedom Pro #Bluetooth #Keyboard.

This keyboard folds in half and has a slide out removable stand for your #PDA.

I didn’t like it. It was probably decent for the time but we can do much better these days.

Regardless, it easily connected to all of my iPaqs (111, 210, HX2495, HX2795b) and unfortunately refused to connect to any of my #Dell Axim X50 and X51 series.

@NOSRSS Not only the politicians must stand up united against #Trump and #Putin we citizens need to do our part as well and it's rather easy:

#unplugTrump by choosing #European (or #Canadian) alternatives for popular #US Services (like #Galaxus, #Conrad etc instead of #Amazon) or your local videostreamer instead of #Netflix. Services like #kSuite,#mailbox.org or #Tutanota, #Protonmail instead of #Gmail

@tuxedocomputers et al instead of #Lenovo or #Dell

Hello, I am a Dell R630. I’m a few years old, but I’ve never been used. Stefano brought me along to finally get me running. I’ll be running FreeBSD, some VMs, and a few jails. With some new disks, I’ll serve Nextcloud to my owners and make everyone happy.

Spent the last 10 hours trying to get any #linux operating system to work on a #dell #inspiron15 with #windows10.

First tried to get #fedora to boot via #yumi, but it black screened.

Next tried to use the same USB stick with #Ubuntu only to realize that it was too small.

Got myself a second stick, but Windows wasn't reading it via "This PC", thus had to format it via Disk Management before using YUMI to install Ubuntu onto it.

And it didn't help that Windows was very sluggish with the existing hardware. Making the whole experience a mental challenge onto one's patience!
