I've been using the #OnyxBoox Poke3 as my main ebook reader for a couple of years now, mainly because it's a convenient size, has a clear e-ink display, and can run the Android app for any eBook store. I just wish the touch screen was a bit more responsive.
There is a newer model -- and another similar-sized reader that's added back physical page-flip buttons -- but it still feels too early to replace the one I have.
🎮 Different Linux OS's on consumer devices expand - Manjaro Linux chosen to Orange Pi Neo gaming handheld :manjaro: :linux:
◉Manjaro Linux started a co-op /w hardware vendor Orange Pi
◉Linux in mainstream gaming furthers from Steam Deck
◉Manjaro Linux is based on Arch Linux - packages are fresh
◉Valve recommends Manjaro Linux when developing for Steam Deck (without having one)
These vulnerabilities enable attackers to connect to discoverable hosts without requiring user confirmation, allowing them to inject malicious keystrokes.
So basically Humane's AI pin is the combadge from Star Trek? Sure, it will take pictures and video, but there's no way to actually frame any of your shots. And it relies on "AI" as the primary interface, so good luck on getting useful or correct answers most of the time.
It's an interesting concept, but no one asked "is this useful in the real world?"
How do P.E. teachers, keen on incorporating digital tools in their classes, address the concern of students potentially using their devices with cameras in locker rooms while others are changing or showering?
It is often discussed if google/apple/huawei/Amazon/etc are actively listening in on your conversations in order to target ads for you. It has mostly been dismissed as paranoia.
But now Cox media claim that they have an ad system that does exactly that using voice data from before mentioned companies. They call it Active Listening.
If this is the case, the companies will have a lot of explaining to do
Is this legal? YES- it is totally legal for #phones and #devices to listen to you. That's because consumers usually give #consent when accepting #terms and conditions of software #updates or app #downloads."
I found a dead spot on my iPhone. Bottom right and it makes my phone a little unusable. This might mean I have to upgrade to a big phone. I HATE big phones. I have woman hands. #devices
The CB3-431 is device name EDGAR. You’d most likely pull the write protect screws and flash a UEFI payload into the firmware, probably using Mr. Chromebox’s tooling and payloads. Most modern Chromebooks boot Coreboot with a depthcharge payload, and it can either be coerced to boot something different with a lot of effort, or easily swapped with a Tianocore UEFI payload to make it behave like a normal PC. Once flashed, it’s an ordinary Braswell generation PC with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage.
The S330 is an ARM machine built on a Mediatech MT8173C. Installing normal Linux on ARM Chromebooks is substantially less well-established, but often possible. It looks like those are doable but you won’t get graphics acceleration, and the bootloader situation is a little klutzy.
Of the two, the CB3-431will be easier and better documented to bend to your will.
The major limitation with Chromebooks is really just that there isn’t much onboard storage, so you’ll want to pick reasonably light software (A distro where you pick packages on a small base install or at least a lighter spin will be preferable) and avoid storage-intensive distros (eg. Nix or the immutable-core-plus-containers schemes whose packaging models have substantial storage overhead are probably unsuitable). You may have a little hassle with sound because many Chromebooks have a goofy half-soc-half-external-codec sound layout for which the Linux tooling is still improving - a pair of annoying PipeWire and Kernel bugs that sometimes cause them to come up wrong and spew log messages got fixed last week but aren’t in a release yet.
They aren’t fancy machines, but hacked used Chromebooks make great beaters.
I found this, I’m wanting to get a pixel tablet in about a week or so. Title just got me wondering a bit, though it’s probably just a little bit sensationalized
I don’t recommend galliumos anymore, it is an abandoned project and hasn’t seen development since 2021.
If your Chromebook is compatible you can flash a full ROM bios and convert your Chromebook to a normal laptop and run full Linux or depending on the device windows 10/11.
The entire city of #Yellowknife is being evacuated. This is unprecedented and terrifying.
And thousands of citizens aren’t aware because Meta continues to block news in the country.
This is what happens when citizens are convinced to use an American multinational corporation as their community’s primary communications channel — a corporation that couldn’t give two shits about anything except its “fiduciary duty” to shareholders.
You can't #patent#text, or stories, or any #narrative. Patents are only for "#practical#devices" (though you don't actually have to prove it works, or even build one), although that has been (incorrectly, IMHO) extended to #software as well.
Some #jurisdictions recognize a second kind of patent, called a #design patent, which protects the "look and feel" of whatever's being patented. It also does not apply to text.
If you're worried about #LLM-based #AI, you're focusing on the wrong thing and may lack imagination.
This, and related developments (I can't view them as advancements, knowing how this all will end) are what's going to end the human race as we've known ourselves.
Much good can be derived from technologies like this, but we—being as we are—will ultimately go much to far.
I don't think we're prepared for our instant evolution (and, separately, eventual mechanization).
Introducing: Raspberry Pi 5! (www.raspberrypi.com)
Announcing Raspberry Pi 5, coming in late October: over 2x faster than Raspberry Pi 4, featuring silicon designed in-house at Raspberry Pi.
Linux on chromebook
I’m looking at picking up a used chromebook for my kid to use after installing a Linux OS on it. So I have two questions that are very related:...
