Chromebooks are insanely locked down at schools. I got one on eBay for $40, installed linux, and now it can play Minecraft Java at 60 fps so that’s something.

yea, IDK how it works as I’ve never had a computer back then, but the quoted reply makes it sound like getting a sound card would take load off of the CPU.
Not in the same way, as you aren’t using the integrated gpu at all if you get an external one. I guess if you’re talking about shared ram this makes sense though.
I’m using a cheap one of those from amazon for my headphones on my laptop because the audio jack suddenly stopped recognizing when headphones were plugged in. (although I still get a dmesg error log when I stick a q-tip in to the jack? If anyone knows how to debug this, please tell me)
I wouldn’t say ‘only’. There were a lot of downvoted things that were just controversial.
Often there are multiple ways to interpret a poster’s intentions, and if you see a heavily downvoted comment you will automatically assume the worst.
It wasn’t that new (2017), it just had weird hardware which iirc only recently got supported without proprietary drivers by the new audio system.
This is funny because on a laptop I had I did this exact same progression - I started on Debian, but it didn’t have the right kernel version for my audio drivers, so I switched to Fedora, but it was running slowly (probably because of gnome, it lets you choose so this was my fault) so I moved to arch (with xfce) because it has a reputation for being relatively lightweight. It worked better, but it took longer to get working with the unusual chromebook hardware.
IDK, but I think it’s cool that people have the option. Maybe if you’re just coming up with new ways to do the same things, if they turn out to be better GNU can take inspiration and other distros can switch, benefitting everyone. Or it could just be as a fun hobby, many people do these sorts of things just because it’s what they enjoy doing. I guess it might be the sort of thing you do just to see if it can be done.
The CE switched to a newer revision from 2001, and nspire uses a custom arm cpu
The ti-84 is actually using a version of a processor from the 70s
Are there still no 3rd party controllers? It seems like controllers like the quest pro has (that can track themselves) would be an easy match. I guess meta is spending millions on development though, so it’s probably not something easily made by a small company.
I would think Bluetooth should provide enough bandwidth, but IDK if apple’s OS is configurable enough to support something like that.
Yeah, I think it could be useful for CAD or 3D art (with proper software) but I can’t think of many other jobs where it would be all that helpful.
Everyone knew that they would release a cheaper model, and it was always their plan. That’s why it has ‘pro’ in its name.
It seems like anyone you ask will tell you how the trains there are worse than in other places. I guess there’s always a country that has it better. I don’t think there are many countries that give enough priority to trains to satisfy transit users.
Reuters is the source, they’re fairly reputable.
My ideal copyright would be 15 years or death of the creator or the end of sale/support, whichever is earlier. That would mean that Portal 2 has copyright and Portal doesn’t, which sounds about right.
Yeah, it was like a boarding pass printing machine though, which seems like a weird use. You still had to get the pass scanned later.
I don’t care about hoverboards, but a great side effect of their mass production is that you can get a pretty decent brushless motor now for very cheap. I also saw a video about a hack you can do to make it run better at higher RPMs. You can get one of those hoverboard motors for like $30 on ebay and pair it with a $25 ODrive clone from aliexpress. Its good for probably 10 nm of torque at 36v 10a.
Just read the wikipedia list of common misconceptions
