When I fist saw it I honestly thought it was something you put your phone into. Like those cheap cardboard "vr" headsets.

Wow all that bezel and the wrong screen ratio makes this thing look nothing like a Vectrex.

ETA: For me one of the key features of mini consoles and mini retrocomputers is that they look like a smaller version of the original. This one misses that mark by a lot.

Don't worry, I'm not here to claim you don't have issues

Nice try MSBot, this hasn't been the case for a long time

I haven't experienced any connection drops on wifi and I haven't noticed any slowdowns. To be fair, I haven't done any load testing. I'm traveling now but I can do some testing when I'm back next week.

They are based on different kernels and what I can tell you is that I tried a few distros and either or both the trackpad and wifi were not working.

LMDE was the first distro I tried that just worked. I didn't try the mainline Mint first because I like debian. I'm running enlightenment as my desktop and terminology as my terminal.

lspci says I have a BCM4360 (rev 03). I can tell its loading a 3rd party driver because I see a warning about it tainting the kernel in my dmesg output.

Note that I'm not running regular Linux Mint, but LMDE which is Linux Mint based on plain Debian instead of Ubuntu. Both are available on the Linux Mint site.

Anyone ever notice how these "linux isn't ready for mainstream" posts so often have straight up factual errors, like this one?

Is this reaally from a Microsoft misinformation farm somewhere? /s

I have a 2013 i7 Macbook Air and everything "just works" with the latest Linux Mint Debian Edition, including wifi and both usb ethernet and thunderbolt ethernet.

Yesterday the handle to the freezer door broke off in my hand as I was openning it.

I've had it for 10 years so it did laat a while.

I was able to find and order the part online from a local vendor and to my surprise it arrived this afternoon (ordered last night around 19:00).

I looked up the instructions and almost laughed at how simple it is. Installed in less than a minute.

Very satisfying!

 

A couple of knobs in my house got loose ober the years. As in the screws are partially stripped and can't be properly tightened anymore.

This morning I took the knobs off, stuffed wooden match sticks into the screw holes, and put the knobs back on.

All fixed and now tight as a drum. Very satisfying!

 

This is right before I hit it with the stick blender and made it smooth. Came out very tasty.

Had a friday hankering. Edit: I feel I should add this was for 4 people :)

 

I got the phone with the biggest screen I could find at a reasonable price, and turned up the size setting. Now I can use it without my reading glasses!

 

This plunger is very good for clearing out a clogged sink. Much better than any other plunger I've tried before.

 

I will cook it tomorrow. I got the tortillas with extra fiber.
