I’m currently learning how to code (currently Python, then maybe JavaScript), but I’m not always around my desktop, and learning on my phone is not always an option (also, it can be quite cumbersome at times). Therefore, I’m looking into purchasing a laptop just for learning how to code and stuff....
Second this. Did it a few weeks ago, works perfectly fine. Paid 50€ for a four year old Acer Chromebook 11 and followed the matching guide here: https://mrchromebox.tech/#devices
(Don't buy my model, the keyboard is crap)
This is the laptop in question. It has an x86 processor so basically any distro should work on it. However, it is still a Chromebook which likely means Google fuckery in the BIOS. But it’s great value for the money (can get it $300 off at Costco) and if I can plop Linux on to it then I’d love it.
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
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.
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."
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?"
These vulnerabilities enable attackers to connect to discoverable hosts without requiring user confirmation, allowing them to inject malicious keystrokes.

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?
Any suggestions for cheap but decent laptops for coding?

Would it be possible to install Linux on this HP Chromebook Plus?
