I didn’t see anything against memes in the rules, but feel free to remove if not allowed :)

    I continue to maintain that Chromebooks are toys. Any real productivity is just not possible with them. I would rather an older Lenovo ThinkPad T4XX series that I bought off of Amazon than a brand new Chromebook.

      Eh? They’re fine, especially now that they can run Android apps.

      At least, for the kind of person who does 99% of their computing in a browser. Which nowadays is actually quite a huge percentage…

      Not for me, but I don’t hate them at all. For what they do they are quick and reliable. I’m just not the intended consumer

        arcvm is completely screwing the android support on Chromebooks.

        they should have nixed it when they realized that aarch64 support was impossible.

      The same Lenovo that couldn’t keep their internal web pages from being public accessible that then allowed the shimming of every other manufacturer’s Chromebooks? Fuck Lenovo.

      ive been using high performance Chromebooks as my main Dev laptop for more than a decade.

      if you buy a toy then it’s a toy.

        Just curious what sort of dev, and what kind of tools do you run on a Chromebook. Is it better than a standard laptop?

          I do system level development for Linux, Android, and Windows.

          I use rustc, clang, and MSVC depending on the target platform.

          I can build iOS and macOS but testing is impossible without an iPhone or macOS device.

    Admins: please add a rule against memes.

    OP: please post in a memes community, or create a new one if none fit your purpose.

    Thank you.

    just logout the users and you dont need to worry about powerwashing unless the ssd is full.

    each user has encrypted home directory, removing the user removes the decrypt keys.

    if you’re worried about the NSA getting to the user dir then you’re on your own.
