You need to get a dumb brick for that Rock 5B. Looks like you got one of the ones with a bad firmware. When it negotiates the power drops out. There're tons of forum posts.

I've had the HP Dev One now since shortly after introduction. It has been rock-solid and everything just worked. Also the memory and SSD are upgradable easily enough.

I used to use ThinkPads exclusively, but Lenovo's priorities for ThinkPads no longer match mine. I've since moved on to HP Dev One. It's well-rounded for me, was easily upgraded to…

It sounds a lot like Enterprise Google Fi to me.

Simple solution here: don't buy locked phones anymore. My last locked phone purchase was in 2011. In the US, you don't need to buy a locked phone anymore to get service.

I'm interested in how these compare to quality Chinese tools like Harbor Freight's ICON line.

It has a pointing stick!! Heck yeah!

I'm on a Pi4 8GB now with a 1TB USB SSD (Adata). The only issues I generally have are anxiety around Chromium staying up to date (it is still on version 98.0.4758.106 as of this wr…

I love that it is just Ubuntu underneath, so I just install `lubuntu-desktop` and I've got my preferred desktop environment, while not losing the benefits of their kernel tuning an…

As long as Chrom(e|ium) isn't limited to one architecture/platform like MSIE was, I don't see this as a problem. I'm using Chromium on my Raspberry Pi right now to post this. I cou…

OOh! If there's not already a port for Raspberry Pi OS, might be a fun project for the weekend.

When the pandemic hit, I switched my shopping almost exclusively to Dollar General, because despite the slightly higher prices compared to Walmart (sometimes) and Aldi (almost alwa…

The Grand Tour and other related shows are the only thing keeping my Prime subscription going.

Daemontools-encore is a fork with minor feature updates, and there's also a whole ecosystem of choices like Runit, S6, and nosh to look at if you're really interested.

I still use it as my primary form of communication. Only one job in my professional career have I NOT gotten from IRC. I use it mainly for conversational chats these days, though I…

When it comes to super old phones, what would you do about security concerns?

But it isn't altering the mail content at all, it's altering the DNS records outside of it.

Well, I gave this a try on my Windows machine. I tried to generate a key pair to pass around. I have yet to figure out how to give ssh-keygen a path spec it can write to. Even no p…
