N-gated Hacker Newsπ₯³ Behold the Typeframe PX-88, where a Raspberry Pi meets a mechanical keyboard in a love story for the ages. Spoiler: it's a "portable computing system" that thinks it's a #cyberdeck but is just a glorified clicky keyboard with delusions of grandeur. π Perfect for those who think a Pi in a box will launch them into the hacker elite. π

ResearchBuzz: FirehoseMakeUseOf: This free and open-source tool made my USB drives way more useful. βI went tool hunting and found Ventoy. This open-source app installs once, and then you can add as many disk images (ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files) as you want to the drive without needing to reformat. You can also include all your portable diagnostic apps and continue to use the USB as a storage device.β

Were a list compiled of my manifold sins and wickedness, near the top of that very long list would be my affection for gadgets that I imagined I needed and therefore purchased. Usually it turned out I didnβt actually need them at all. Sometimes they did end up being useful, though none of them will be mentioned here.

The Best Size Of A Laptop
17 years ago, Steve Jobs stood on stage with a manila envelope in his hand and pulled out a laptop. At that time, mini-laptops called netbook were very popular, and the first Macbook Air had far superior features in every way. I had a Lenovo IdeaPad S10e. If I remember correctly, the screen resolution was 1378x768, but it was good enough for me. It fit in my small bag, it was light, and I could open it up and even use it on the food tray on my long bus rides.
Luigi de GuzmanI think I may just run the #SteamDeck as my primary "personal" machine when I travel. With a folding Bluetooth keyboard/trackpad and my kickstand, it's actually pretty usable. And I can still game on it.
For "serious" stuff I have an office-issued laptop that I'd have to carry anyway. #PortableComputing #Laptop #Handheld
KadinThe heck with cellphones, I want palmtop computers back. With belt holsters.
(Found these on eBay, so I can't speak to how they actually are to use. But if you were so inclined, $36 gets you a set of 4: https://www.ebay.com/itm/133891681542)
