@trinsec Mmmmm.... depends, sure the powerful GPU would be good, but the lil Chromebook does have thinness and portability going for it compared to most gaming laptops.

So basically, it depends :)

@ben LOTS :) I use it! Even for some dev work, video editing, image editing, etc...Video editing is by far the most intensive thing, it's not optimal for it but it does the job.

@wiredfire same, I do need my Linux desktop. But I'm happy with ChromeOS being my mobile solution :)

@wiredfire oh they are great! But I have to admit that in the back of my mind, I'm wondering when Google will do a Google and cancel ChromeOS 😆

But given the option between MacOS, Windows or ChromeOS then ChromeOS is my choice!

@wiredfire I use Crostiny heavily, and some Android apps too. So keeping the two containers going concurrently needs memory :) I want high-end ChromeOS laptops. That Asus I showed is fine, but its only one! There's so much choice out there for Linux that if I were to compare I can't imagine I'd opt for the Asus :)

Currently, my main Chromebook has a Core i3 and 8GB and support runs out in mid 2025. I'd like my next one to be substantially more powerful :)

Adding an easy way to create a Mastodon account on mastodon.social to the official app? Yes, please.

I don’t understand the drama around this. Not like it’s removing other instances, or the ability to switch instances afterwards. It just gives an easier way in for people who don’t understand the instances concept.

It’s a good thing. Anything that helps onboarding is a good thing, and no, it doesn’t mean the developer has gone evil or wants to centralize things. 🙄🙄

There are nowhere near enough with 16GB of RAM. And the ones that exist are priced like this.

I really love ChromeOS as a daily driver, but honestly the hardware specs are probably going to the the thing that come new laptop time will push me towards a Linux or MacOS laptop.

I replaced the nice and expensive Dell monitor that I broke with a cheap Chinese monitor and it isn't bad! The main party trick it has is 165Hz. It does suffer from some motion blur, and black crush out of the box. But tinkering with settings made things a lot better!

For the price I'm happy with this.Build quality is obviously budget but it performs well for the price.

A couple of screenshots of Space Jam: A New Legacy I took last night :)

On a separate note screenshots take a good long while to sync with the cloud sometimes!

@radio_alergy it’s from 2020, I just had never played it till last night 😄

Space Jam: A New Legacy on Xbox is not a bad game! It’s a classic super simple beat’em up and it is a lot of fun!

If you like Double Dragon, Streets of Rage, Final Fight, etc… this is it! It’s good.

Pointless tabloid level speculation 

If Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon start a podcast called Tucker and Lemon where they sit around a table, drink coffee or tea and debate a topic that’s it. No more Fox, CNN, or Joe Rogan… they have their whole audience.

@Bigou @trinsec sorry I didn’t read your toot carefully. I think five and a quarter is beyond dead now 😄

@Bigou @trinsec these USB ones work fine. They are generically branded and readily available.

Ignore the Commodore logo, I stuck that there 😄
