@csepp @plasmamobile @PINE64 Yeah, my pinebook pro didn't have a particularly fantastic default image either. Luckily there were better ones quickly after release.
@csepp @PINE64 @plasmamobile They've shipped it with a variety of systems over time here. UBports, Mobian, KDE, postmarketOS, and Manjaro. It seems like they've settled on the Manjaro Plasma distro. Maybe it was the most popular community edition? I suggest checking the wiki and picking out a different image. These are still largely beta devices for OS developers and enthusiasts though.
@stuff @Moon Mine crashed a bit harder than that, but I bought it about a month before it crashed here, and it dropped 50% and took about 10 years to recover back to its original level. (185k down to about 120k) This area of colorado had a delayed crash though. Because our natural gas industry was booming, our housing held its value while the rest of the country crashed, but as soon as Gov Ritter passed the oil and gas regulations, everything here crashed harder.
@stuff @bub @deprecated There's apparently a hidden backup handle to open the tesla's door, but if you're the kind of person who doesn't read the manual, you might not know about it, and passengers definitely wouldn't read the manual.
@stuff I keep avian cockroach feeders on my house for them. They're quite photogenic for flying bugs.
@requiem I heard there was a firmware update for mine available, so the next time I go to the dealer I'll see if they can update it.
@requiem I hope it isn't that bad in my 2013 subaru. But the Harman and Kardon radio is a bit unusual in it. I know it also has the reverse camera and gps functionality tied into it.
@letterus @fribbledom There was that old joke about Emacs being an operating system that happened to include a text editor... Web browsers are basically that now.
The HAWP website appears to have been breached by some casino spammers. Of course, the contact page doesn't work, and the twitter handles on the page are mostly down. Ah well, hopefully they'll figure it out eventually.
@avia Only over the mountain from me. https://youtu.be/_Ph7OR6C90w there was a pilot on their first solo flight following behind who observed the whole thing.
@yesbait @fribbledom Yeah, Planet Computers makes a few devices like this, including the Cosmo Communicator. https://planetcom.squarespace.com/device TCL also made some of these with keyboards under the Blackberry name.
@fribbledom I use a desk designed for racing sim games. Not because I play those games, but because that was the best way to get a keyboard tray that put the keyboard at the right level to be comfortable for me. My last ergonomic keyboard tray that attaches to my chair was junk. I bought two of them and both broke in the exact same way. I don't like using the racing chair. I'm actually looking into putting a more comfortable car seat in the place of the racing one.
@joe @fribbledom Patents for relaying a remote control signal through a network then broadcasting it via IR?
@joe @fribbledom I'm not saying use logitech devices. I'm saying make alternatives that are open source that do the same types of things.
