I see a ton of i5-8th gen 2-in-1s with dead batteries, but under 100 on ebay

Just look at the processors in the Synology offerings, you didn’t need much to run a bunch of services.

It always comes right after I migrate my family members. Same thing with lastpass and I’m still trying to get people off that.

I have been playing with Incus recently.

You can run Windows in vms on Linux if you don’t need screaming performance. I think you can directly install from iso with Incus as well. I haven’t find this yet, i used Qemu instead.

You could spin up a vm with mx and see how it works.

Will do. I think Asus stopped sending fw updates so I’m hoping to get a few more years out of this unit.

I’m running an older Asus router they is listed on the OpenWrt site. Would it be the most affordable option to just install open wrt on this device and manually bring over my current configs?

I do the 5 lb bags it last like 3 months for me

On the pc and c64 it was pretty easy. Are we also talking about how everyone ran the WinZip eval?

I only pick up the new LTS when the next non-LTS is released

I’ve been using Feeder https://f-droid.org/packages/com.nononsenseapps.feeder/ Works for my needs, but I haven’t explored much.

I run llms using a 780m you’ll be fine. I get pretty close to 10 tokens a second for larger 20B+ models.

I picked up a pixel 8 pro to replace my 6 pro.

Cool thanks for the info I’m thinking to get a travel phone with this os on it. Maybe a used pixel 7 or 8

No government can be trusted.

To you know if wechat or alipay work? I need these while traveling. They use QR codes for payment and other services. I wish this took off everywhere as nfc payments are locked into only a few apps.

This is true. Spending more for newer A series vs used “higher” end older models is up the how the phone is used daily.

The A Series is like the Nissan Sentra of phones in my opinion.

No way! I am totally shocked! /s

At 299 or 399, but at 499?? That’s a hard pass. You can get a used pixel for less and better specs. I get it that people like new, but phone innovation has mostly stalled.
