Agreed, as an midwestern American. Hearing "Georgian", I would think of the country, then the Georgian era (especially regarding architecture) and only then the state.

They used to use their own Ubuntu variant for desktops, but switched to their own Debian variant. And ChromeOS is based on Gentoo IIRC.

They're even changing the name of the company to MIPS, just like RIM → Blackberry ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26389870 One big difference is most consumers, and I think even many companies using the chips, do

It would still need to download the firmware image on the computer running AC2 if it hadn't been downloaded before of course.

Does Google even use Python 3? I thought they were moving things from Python 2 to Go. (And Chromium build and debug scripts still use Python 2 AFAIK.)

I agree with that! But I'm not a developer. I'm doing hardware repairs, and this machine is to read ticket notes and enter repair info and send emails (and play my music :-).

M1 Macs don't have Internet Recovery. You need to use another Mac with Apple Configurator 2 to restore the firmware using DFU mode, which unlike with T2 Intel Macs, includes the whole OS.

It's not that bad … for what I'm doing, and I can do something else when the computer stalls. I've thought about an external TBT SSD, but doesn't seem worth it yet.

Tell that to my work iMac with a HDD (not my choice) and a new enough OS to require APFS. The only programs I typically have open are Chrome and a music player, and it freezes randomly, and Chrome is constantly waiting on cache.

I like it! It needs more display options, like line-height, and margin size. I also accidentally scrolled with my touchpad and was moved to the very beginning, then very end when I reversed course (Chromium on Linux FWIW).

At least to you maybe, but I only use Bluetooth on my laptop for playing music to a speaker, which could I could replace with a long cable if I really wanted to (or some other kind of network player). On my phone, I first intentionally enab

An ostrich and a woodpecker are similar in a lot of ways, both birds descending from a common ancestor. But I don't think you'd confuse them.

Looks good but I hope this part is optional: > xBrowserSync does not only sync but also enhances your productivity by enriching your native browser bookmarks with the addition of descriptions and tags, and an intuitive search interface

I won't miss sync (I don't use it), but I'll miss the Google Translate feature.

Too bad (I use Ubuntu's Chromium): I don't use sync, but I'll miss the Google Translate feature in Chromium.

Anyone know if by "third-party Chromium based browsers" they mean sonething like Ubuntu's Chromium package or something like Brave or Vivaldi?

Thanks, got it now, I was confused by the differing notations. (I thought the parenthetical was a description, not a name.) Listening to my MIPS internet radio now FWIW (Pure brand).

My friend got one and would throw it against the wall—he had headphones with long a cable—to show how it didn't skip (unlike our portable CD players). Until the battery door broke. (He taped it on, but stopped throwing the player. I ev
