[14:14] Just a FYI - I am thinking the next meetup will be on Feb 23. I was planning for mid month but realized it is valentines day. Location is TBD for now [15:11] https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelho/2019/01/30/the-new-pinebook-pro-will-challenge-google-chromebooks-for-199/ [15:20] ^WANT^ [15:20] Charges via type c... [15:21] Yep [15:21] And barrel if you're using USB c [15:21] So does my Dell work laptop, that's awesome [15:22] And a PCIe [15:22] Sorry an unpopulated m.2 [15:23] Yep [15:23] Keith, you find your next laptop? [15:24] I won't agree that it will post a threat to Chromebooks but would be a compelling option for tech conferences or as a remote terminal [15:24] Yep, probably the perfect thing client [15:25] @Ivoriesablaze, Thin* [15:26] @Ivoriesablaze, Maybe, for Citrix, RDP, X11 and other systems, it should be great as long as your VPN supports ARM64. VMWare does not have a ARM version of View Desktop [15:27] True [15:30] 4 GB of RAM and eMMC is sort of anemic so this will not be a high performance machine. If they allowed 8GB and had 2 x m.2 slots, it would be another story [15:31] Still though I think a light desktop would be snappy, like xfce [15:31] I think it being a low-end device is part of its appeal. [15:31] It would however have excellent battery life. They did not say the battery capacity but I expect it won't fall short of 16-20 hours [15:59] TIL that wildcard certificates only cover one level of subdomains. [16:15] Why Linux Is Spelled Incorrectly | Linux Journal … https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/why-linux-spelled-incorrectly [16:19] @KMyers, ok... so a day after my birthday [16:20] Happy early birthday [16:21] I'd be willing to bet that lots of words are spelled the way they are because at some point someone randomly wrote it that way because it felt right at the time and through pure chance that ended up becoming the standard over time. [20:30] @KMyers, Looks like a nice portable Python/R station if the keyboard isn't terrible [20:52] it's $200, you're pretty much not allowed to criticize the keyboard at that pricepoint [20:52] I'll sell you a keyboard for $300 [20:53] @Ivoriesablaze, Coming from 2 years as a daily on an Acer c720 doing development, I'm not that picky. Lol [20:54] I just want the c720 but 2.0 [20:57] It sounds mostly there. Just ARM instead of x86. Which I can look past [20:57] With upgrades to the screen :0 [20:58] The keyboard on the Pixel book has me spoiled [23:21] PineTab Linux tablet coming in 2019 for $79 and up - Liliputing … https://liliputing.com/2019/01/pinetab-linux-tablet-coming-in-2019-for-79-and-up.html [23:34] Has anyone seen this issue before? http://hdrlab.org.nz/articles/linux-troubleshooting/fixing-gave-up-waiting-for-root-device-error-in-debian/ [23:34] I've been trying to fix it but I haven't had any luck. [23:35] @ahoneybun, Have you ruled out drive failure? [23:49] A fresh install always fixes it.
