1. To me it isn’t acceptable that phones and tablets have that problem too, especially devices that could still have a decent performance.

2. Windows has a lot of problems, but at least if you have Windows you will be supported for a long while, even if it gets slow due to Windows being Windows. Considering ChromeOS frames itself as a competitor of especially low end Windows, and that ChromeOS is more optimized than Windows, I would expect more.

EDIT: The article says three to six years, and that they stop functioning. That’s even worse.

EDIT2: And like most phones, you can’t flash another OS to most chromebooks.

The PCBs. With pre made magnet mounts, tactile z buttons, an already available T3 Gamecube controller, and excluding all the soldering equipment (i already had most of it) and the optional stuff, it costed me about $257, $239 . However that price is not completely right because I split the bill between me and two friends, so it costed more like $85 each. If you don’t have friends interested and you don’t want to sell it might be better to buy a single one on Etsy.

Elecrow. For 5 boards i paid $130 iirc. And I’ve seen some things in the Discord regarding JLCPCB… For example, for one person they completely covered one of the mounting points.

Yeah and besides, most if not all IRC servers have Matrix bridges.

Lemmy.world is getting a very big chunk, but other than that it actually seems fairly distributed.

That’s from the Bedrock censoring, not Java. And even on Bedrock iirc those were a bug that was fixed.

To me everything seems to point to the fact that community developed distros, even if funded by corporations, seems to be the best option moving forward.

Actually yes it is! He used it as a laptop in practice though so I kinda forgot it was.
