I decided to go on a work trip with my KooForWay P8.
Pros: lots of storage - 1TB on mine - so I can install office and everything I need for work. Reasonable performance provided Windows 11 isn't trying to install updates.
Cons: keyboard is tiny and nonstandard *especially* the symbols that I use a lot. Windows touchscreen interface is sometimes nice but sometimes just broken in particular apps, feels like it was made by 5 different teams in different decades.

Recupero vecchio PC fatto, #netbook per l'esattezza. La ram è rimasta 1gb, ma adesso è stato messo un SSD. Volevo installare #puppylinux ma mi dava problemi ad avviare la live. Ho messo #antix e nessun problema. 90mb di RAM o giù di lì all'avvio e ci ritroviamo con un aggeggio funzionante. In futuro, sarà utilizzato per streaming di musica e/o server.
Comunque, vedere quell'aggeggio, in precedenza completamente inutile, funzionare con un'interfaccia grafica assolutamente utilizzabile è pazzesco. Giaceva inutilizzato e abbandonato da diversi anni. Bello.
How to waste a Sunday playing with a 10" netbook

I was gonna hold off on posting about it until I successfully got something installed on it, but that's proving to be harder than I expected.
This Lemote Yeeloong netbook arrived on the 1st, and is a pretty cool little device, using entirely free software drivers and firmware. #RMS even used to daily-drive one of these.
I'm hoping to get some form of #Slackware on it, most likely through #Bonslack, so stay tuned :)

My Psion Series 7 is now *fixed* - temporary fuse bridging, awaiting a replacement 750mA fuse. It joins the happy ranks of @thelastpsion's Netbook in being fully operational. For those at the back, these are fabulous Distraction-Free Writing Devices (DFWDs) - if you have one sitting at the back of a drawer, *get it out*! And if it doesn't work, *we can fix it* (well, we can try...)
I just finished upgrading my #Asus #EeePC 1005PEB by formatting the hard drive to remove the awful #Windows 7 starter & installed Windows XP SP3.
Even though it shipped with Win 7, it does support XP & all of the drivers are available on the Asus website.
Everything is working great but unfortunately the Elantech touchpad driver Is no longer recognizing multitouch support.
It worked perfectly fine under Windows 7. I guess I'll try uninstalling it and try out another version... 🫤
Eigentlich wollte ich hier jetzt eine Lobhymne auf das schnuckelige neue Spielzeug schreiben. Dieses weiße Kleinod mit den süßen Tasten, dem verspielten Bildschirm und der handschmeichelnden Oberfläche. Wie man damit super-bequem auf dem Sofa sitzen, ein wenig im Internet surfen …<p class="read-more"> <a class="more-link" href="https://www.andreas-edler.de/blog/2008/07/laptop-medion-akoya-mini/"> <span class="screen-reader-text">Laptop MEDION® AKOYA® Mini</span> Weiterlesen »</a></p>
Ich habe hier noch ein fast neues https://www.andreas-edler.de/blog/2008/07/laptop-medion-akoya-mini/ #Medion #Akoya E1210 #Netbook mit #Raspberry OS und einen etwas jüngeren #Asus #Eee PC 1005p https://www.andreas-edler.de/blog/2010/01/asus-eeepc-1005p/ mit #Bodhi #Linux im Regal und ehrlich gesagt nervt es mich inzwischen, die Dinger zu horten. Werden nicht genutzt und nehmen Platz weg.
Ich glaube ich gebe die jetzt ins Recycling.
