I was working on a personal project when a friend visited. I went through a quick series of successes and failures with my project and openly emoted at each, afterward he said to me “I’ve never seen anyone go through so many emotions in such a short amount of time.”

Sooo many awesome suggestions here for you, OP!

One thing I don’t think I’ve seen yet, is that you should create your calendar events as barebones as possible and then edit them to add each additional detail. This will notify everyone else attached of the updates to your event, every time you update any of them.

At work, my work calendar is shared with the entire company to see. I like it as it lets people easily schedule meetings with me, know at which of the two locations (or at home) I am.

“Fun” fact: Outlook and Teams have a Scheduling assistant feature that makes that unnecessary. If a person wants to schedule a meeting with you, they don’t need access to your calendar to check availability. They just add you, pick a day, and it will suggest to them time slots you have open in your calendar for that day. There’s no longer a need to share an Outlook calendar with anyone just so they can know when you’re free to meet.

I bet that’s unauthorized use of trademark and McDs is gonna love it! 😂

I’m inclined to agree. I wasn’t a fan when I tried it on my EOL one as an option.

If you need to keep the budget down, you could probably find an end of service 2 in 1 Chromebook and make it a chultrabook.

Not all ARM chips are in phones, nor are they all locked down like one. There are several ARM devices and SBCs now where switching OSes is as easy as swapping out an SD card. Most do use uboot as a standard and some are even capable of utilizing UEFI.

Location info shouldn’t be needed, though. (Even though they should technically be able retrieve location data from any terminal on their own already. It’s all their hardware and network.) They should be able to geoblock traffic from Ukraine/Russia while having a kind of Allow filter for the terminals they know they provided for use by Ukraine.

It’s the same concept as blocking a country’s domains but allowing certain domains of that country through for emails. They just need to setup a “spam” filter.

dibs on yeti ambassador!

Update, 10:12 a.m. PDT: The story has been recast to include a newspaper report of Othman denying the purported appointment as an ambassador to the aliens.

They do well as light work machines. Mines done some weird stuff, and Ive subjected it to various things, but it keeps on trucking. Worst it’s ever done is reset on me, but logging in brought back everything important.

That script has an option to install coreboot in it’s TUI. But it only works on x86, arm Chromebooks aren’t supported by the utility

Getting a Chromebook to run Linux is pretty easy these days with MrChromebox’s utility https://docs.mrchromebox.tech/

As to the main purpose of your post, I use fedora on my Pinebook pro and it works great. Though with the lack of resources compared to x86 laptops, many things can be slow to start, like browsers. Id never use it to try and watch videos online, it’s a painful experience.

I also have an older Chromebook with a Celeron powering it, and it sips power. I can forget to charge it for a week, grab it, and still have a few hours of battery I can use.

It certainly did. I think most of my time was spent seeing how funny every day sounds were when played backward

Yes! That’s the one! It was a lot of fun to play with

I had one with a button to play the recording backwards

busted out to find it on my iPad. Go to Settings > Sounds > Keyboard Clicks and toggle it off

Try searching settings for “keyboard feedback”

i can’t unsee this now!
