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 64GB of ram, and came with Pop! OS out of t

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 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 writing.) and YouTube video playback can drop a lot of f

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 and such.

I also used to always run ThinkPads (and Precision workstations with pointing sticks). I these days run a System76 Lemur Pro with a USB thinkpad keyboard I stick on top. The built-in keyboard is good, but trackpads and I have never gotten

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 could never dream of doing such a thing 20

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 still do get/give support on Freenode occasionally.

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

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 path (just file name for the key in the current directory)
