@Johncdvorak Some of those items don't lead to $20 being equivalent to $1, but more like $5-10. The 18 eggs for example, I just paid around $5 for 18 eggs yesterday, and sometimes in the past 4 years I've picked 30 up for $7.50. Canned corn is similar, frozen green beans as well. The steak is a counterexample though, since it's around $25 if you go to Texas Roadhouse. So inflation is variable for different items. In the last 4 years the 3 gallons of gas has been between $6 and $15 depending on the market that week. $12 right now. Chocolate bars, $10 or so. The calculation that would really go against that would be the one for what fraction of a TV you could buy for $1, and how much for the same fraction now.
@requiem Check their website for specs though for the port. The one I'm looking at is "VOC 35-150V, 12A." for its solar port.
@requiem The ones Bluetti sells are 350w panels, so anything above that would probably work.
@requiem 4 of the 170w panels would probably do it. I've seen bluetti systems running on that sort of arrangement.
@stuff Closest thing that we usually get to that is Pork chops and Chicken Fried Steak I think. It's my favorite thing to get when I go to the Japanese and Hawaiian restaurants nearby.
@requiem @gemlog @socketwench @PINE64 Pretty similar then, looking at the specs, just a 1 inch larger screen, so probably closer to the EEE1005. that touch pad with the metallic-looking buttons and the teensy keyboard just look so similar.
@requiem @gemlog @socketwench That looks like a clone of the Asus EEE901, I have one of those that I run Haiku on as well.

@sima @pro Most distros have dropped i686 already, and the few that are left are very nerdish distros like Devuan and Debian. Not exactly something that I'd turn a beginner user loose on. Most of the popular desktop environments are too fat for an old 4gig system as well. Those developing for it are mostly targeting higher end stuff, so desktop apps on linux are getting less and less optimized. Sure, you can make linux fit a tiny old system, but it's getting harder.
@KC8JC So, you're saying the next big social media growth industry for corporations to insert themselves into is web ring software? :D
@TechConnectify @diligentcircle Maybe touch screens are a really bad interface when you're doing a complex task. And we've outsourced all of our in-car entertainment and navigation to devices with touch screens. Instead of apple carplay and android auto, we should be trying to make interfaces that don't require you to look at them to control them. Of course, creating a standard set of buttons that all media, and navigation apps, and all car interfaces can implement is a challenge. Android is really bad at even routing the next/play/pause/previous buttons to the right place.
@TechConnectify So as long as it's in the context of casual conversation, I wouldn't have a problem with it. If they start putting it that way in a ledger though, that's right out.
@TechConnectify Well, when you say it out loud, it would be "Dollars 200" but "200 Dollars" so I imagine that this is an abbreviation to speech rather than indicating it as a number on a spreadsheet.
@fribbledom It probably lost me at both "mobile" and "app." I imagine the API is also closed, so there's no making an open source replacement app for it.
