@TheOneDoc @nixCraft Chromebooks don't count due to their mostly botched, worse-than-censorboot bootloaders!

  • But maybe Lenovo didn't fuck up this one?

Either way, this is still expensive af for it's aging hardware…

#Chromebooks #Lenovo #Netbooks #Greedflation

@nixCraft the price is still saddening…

≤ €199 - €249 is the usual Netbook pricing range.

🎉 Congratulations, you've just read a love letter to a glorified pocket calculator! 🎉 In a desperate attempt to revive #netbooks, someone discovered the Chuwi Minibook X—a "subultrabook" that miraculously adds "fun" to frustration with its Linux quirks. 🤦‍♂️ At least it keeps the #nostalgia alive for those who enjoy pretending it's still 2009. 🙄

Screenshots, capturas de pantalla con Spectacle

Una de las aplicaciones mas útiles a mi entender para capturar y/o grabar la pantalla de la computadora es Spectacle, actualmente en el año 2026 tiene muchas opciones interesantes.
Lo uso principalmente para hacer tutoriales, materiales de estudio etc.
Es de destacar la opción de poder extraer el texto de las imágenes OCR , la posibilidad de editar, recortar, colocar flechas números, resaltar pixelar y desenfocar zonas de las imágenes, agregar  texto a la captura realizada e inclusive poder hacer lo mismo con cualquier imagen que tengamos en nuestro equipo.

En mi equipo principal utilizo Linux (Debian,en otro Kde Neón) con el escritorio Kde Plasma tanto en X11 o Wayland.

Para tener la posibilidad de extraer el texto de las imágenes debemos tener instalado previamente al software tesseract y el o los idiomas a ser reconocidos, consultar aquí.
Por ejemplo en mi caso instalar mediante la terminal:

sudo apt install tesseract-ocr tesseract-ocr-eng tesseract-ocr-spa tesseract-ocr-spa-oldOCR a una imagen capturada

Aquí muestro capturas de su ventana de inicio y configuración.

Para poder editar/anotar cualquier imagen con spectacle debemos tener instalado un servicio habilitado en el navegador de archivos dolphin (escritorio Kde Plasma).

It's time for a vote! last year, I was lucky enough to findnot one, but two Acer Aspire One D270s. The first was sold as an extra, but worked well. The second was still sealed in the box! I never thought I would have the pleasure of opening a brand new netbook again. But to this day, I still haven't done so. Now, I have two choices, though I guess three, if I send both off.

1. Have the keyboard replaced, and the drive and Windows upgraded to 7 Professional on my open one.
2. Open the new one and have the drive, Windows, and ram upgraded.
3. Send both machines in and have the above work done.
Technically, on both machines, the drives are fine. They are 320gb models, so they have more than enough space for my needs. But they're 5400 rpm drives, and I want either a 7200 rpm replacement or a solid state one. My open machine has 2gb of ram, which is all the D270 can officially take. I have heard of some people installing 4gb and Windows seeing something like 2.9gb (I forget the exact number, but it wasn't the full 4), but I have also read that it's not always stable and there could be some problems with booting. Can anyone confirm this? If I keep it at 2gb, I am guessing it would make sense to use a 32-bit version of Windows 7 and not a 64-bit one. All of my programs except Reddit for Blind, Accessible Youtube Downloader, and TweeseCake are 32-bit, but only Reddit for Blind works on 7. I am still trying to get the others to work, but that may be an issue with this particular virtual machine.

So, which should I do? Open the new machine, or just send in the old one?

Wieso muss ich beim #MacBookNeo gerade an #Netbooks denken? Apple recycelt einfach ein gutes, wenn auch altes Konzept.

I genuinely liked and miss netbooks. They were perfect for small things, didn't use a lot of power, and if the battery puffed, you could easily remove it AND still use the device! I hate that they were beaten by tablets. Bring back netbooks.

(2/2)

OpenSuse 32 bits (IV)

Continúo gratamente asombrado por esta distribución de Linux, la magia continúa.
Y ahora como única distribución de Gnu-Linux en este equipo.
Pensando sobretodo en aquellos viejas netbooks que se podrían seguir usando evitando desecharlas con el problema ambiental que eso trae.
Aquí el historial de estas actualizaciones, con xfce funciona algo mejor que kde-plasma.

Recomiendo consultar el siguiente enlace para optimizar a Kde-Plasma:
