the linux version of chrome is essentialy private space for chromeOS, because its essentially a version of the chrome browser that's *not* tied to the operating system itself.

this was not the case with lacros, which, while allowing multiple chrome profiles, was still tied to the os.

and that is why, i think, google should legitimately make and maybe market something more like *that* as a "thing".

it's better than lacros.

rough draft post - the 7 year laptop warranty frame of mind in terms of like, "dealing with laptops" and chromebooks and stuff like that

PSA: if you have two chromebooks and one windows laptop, don't buy a third chromebook. instead - put that money toward a *second* newer windows11 laptop.

fictional observer: why

me: you can get a third chromebook if you want, however, i'd recommend putting the money you might spend on a third chromebook, and putting that money toward a second newer windows 11 laptop. I like chromebook/chromeos, especially 15.6 inch devices for home use, and maybe the 14 inch ones are better for like, if you need one for "on the go" to kinda maybe keep in your car and stuff like that

fictional observer: why

me: in my case, i have:

- the 2019 windows 10 laptop (home) (purchased from best buy) - this device is starting to show its age...its got 8gb ram and core i5, but its windows 10, and now windows 11 has been out for a couple years so, its time i should get a nice core i7 windows 11 laptop with 16gb ram.

- late 2021 chromebook (on the go) - purchased from costco - 14 inch, convertible even though i don't "need" the convertible function, i had gotten it i think on sale so it was nice and relatively "premium" feeling in terms of the glass touchscreen etc...compared to the 2024 chromebook...although now as i'm typing this...i suppose i could swap devices so that i could put the summer 2024 chromebook in my car, and take the one that was in my car, and bring that inside the house...

- 2022 chromebook (home device - a nice 15.6 inch touchscreen chromebook, ryzen5, 8gb ram, 128gb ssd, the big 15.6 inch screen really sells it to me to this day, and the processor and ram seem to be working well

- summer 2024 semi-cheap / 14 inch chromebook was on sale for 250 down from 350 at costco - this device is so/so...as i'm typing this, i'm thinking of the reasoning for buying it

fictional observer: yeah why did you buy the summer 2024 chromebook, it seems you had a enough laptops

me: yeah. i guess. but i guess i felt like, during the thanksgiving 2023 dinner, i was talking to my parents about a chromebook on sale for $200 at costco, and that one didn't even have a core i3 processor, no touchscreen, whereas, this one, i guess i sort of bought the koolaid, and while it is a good entry level device, as a "home computer", i mean, i do feel like, its good "insurance" to have for "life", but like,

fictional observer: what

me: its good to have it, but, i guess, ,...i don't know exactly what to type...i guess maybe a windows laptop would have made more sense. i'm typing this here on blogger. but i guess i'll post this on my mastodon infosec exchange profile too.

fictional observer: ok

i wish chromeOS would break free of its chains and open up like windows11 and allow installation of full fledged software applications via the google play store. not android baby apps. full fledged desktop programs and software. full fledged microsoft edge and alternative browsers. what's up with the search thing being the issue of monopoly. how about the chromebook browser being a monopoly. i guess thats why google doesn't give a shit about increasing chromebook marketshare since, if they did, they'd have to deal with the scrutiny of that. whereas, if they maintain like a sub-5 percent marketshare, then they can claim microsoft is the monopoly. but google. you've got a good product in chromebook. but why not improve it. what happened to don't be evil. what happened to the google from the 2000s. the one that gave us gmail, android, etc...why can't we get more innovation on the chromebook front. why can't we gain marketshare to compete against microsoft

laptop liability draft - I've been pestering my parents about buying a laptop for themselves - a $300 Chromebook (core i3+) (or even a $400 windows 11 laptop would be fine at this point - as long as it charges via USBC - no more proprietary barrel chargers!!!). However, without better home design made for how laptops are a liability by design (they fall, they break) maybe it's not the best idea. sort of a lost cause. I was thinking, it would be nice if we had slide away "drawers"/surfaces *designed* for laptops

og post -

ideas - a kitchen island with a slide out drawer designed for a laptop to go into so that the laptop could be easily put away out of sight when not in use

A kitchen island with a slide out drawer that is flush with the top of the island so the laptop can slide from the island to the drawer and back with minimal effort

laptop liability

draft - I've been pestering my parents about buying a $300 Chromebook (4 cores) (or even a $400 windows 11 laptop would be fine at this point - as long as it charges via USBC - no more proprietary barrel chargers!!!). However, without something like this, like better home architecture designed for laptops, I guess maybe it's sort of a lost cause. However if we had a few drawers like *designed* for laptops, then it'd be easier to have the laptops be more accessible
