> they no longer have the thinkpads we know and love layout. however there are some newer models that are making the turn back around. although that soldered ram is for marks.

Yeah, thus my whole DevTerm situation. You don't even have to keep the same CPU architecture.

> i3 from xfce/ratpoison

Yeah, I've bounced around WMs some. Except on one machine (this one, which runs fvwm), I'm just running ratpoison everywhere nowadays.

> to keep myself flexible i'd swap window managers to force myself to adapt after.

I think there's a threshold, right, you can deal with some number of new things at a time if you want to keep work going, so I don't bother twiddling distro or window manager or things like that very often.

> merc the codes.

:terryapproves:

> it's a sub-optimal stick

Well, in this case it's a stick I love. I legit like the DevTerm more than I liked my T60, if that's an indicator. Any machine's gonna have trade-offs, upsides and downsides, this one I like very much, the downsides (keyboard is workable but is a little small, no place to shove 2TB SATA disk, some software is dumb about vertical resolution so I sometimes have to tell X to do panning, things like that) are minimal, and the upsides are it's a very convenient machine: I can type on it conventionally, I can lay down and hold it up and thumb-type, I can stand up and hold it with one hand and type with the other, or hold it with one hand and scroll PDFs with the same hand; battery is standard 18650, lasts a very long time because low-wattage CPU; very hackable machine, schematics and .stl files are published, circuit diagrams, anything can be replaced; no moving parts so less wear and tear; as many USB ports as a Thinkpad.

The RISC-V one that I did Slackware on, that's kind of a wimpy single-core CPU, only 1GB RAM, but because none of it is devoted to running a conventional browser, it actually feels nicer.

  @p @god @ins0mniak @racuna @threat @adiz The dev term seems very interesting, what version did you buy? also its it at all pockatable? or do you really need a backpack.

  @adiz @racuna @ins0mniak @threat @god It's cool, but it's 100% thumb-typing, you can't really touch-type on it. It's a little more like a "product", body is more solid, but it's also a little less useful. You need a tool to crack it open. I like it, it's cool, but I don't have as much use for it as I do the DevTerm. On the other hand, photographers have this saying when asked "What's the best camera for $x?" and the answer is "The one you have with you." The uConsole is kinda like that: even if it's sub-optimal, you can fit the thing in a hoodie, as long as you cover the screen the body is more rugged (Mg-Al instead of plastic), like that, so it's the computer you have with you.

  @adiz @god @ins0mniak @racuna @threat Like, the DevTerm completely replaced my Thinkpad. I wouldn't be able to say that about the uConsole. I like the uConsole but it's not a replacement for a laptop.

  > what version did you buy?
  
  I have an A06, also have a RISC-V core. When I got the uConsole last year (which arrived last month; their shit is good but they do not ship it very fast), the RISC-V version was like $150 or something, so I figured I'd shove the RISC-V chip into the DevTerm to play with, and I put a CM4 into the uConsole. (The CPU boards are interchangeable between the two devices. Except for a few small bits like screen orientation, the same images boot on both as well.)
  
  > its it at all pockatable?
  
  It's about the size of a paperback book, a little longer and a little thinner. It doesn't fit so great in any pocket, like you could put it in a hoodie but the uConsole would fit better, but you don't need a whole backpack or anything. When I take it somewhere, I have this little case that I got for my EeePC back in The Day, and it fits both a DevTerm and a power brick, little pouch on the side for cables and whatnot, so I cram the SDR dongle and phone charging cable and spare microSD and stuff into there.

  @p@freespeechextremist.com I just seemed to appreciate the form factor on it more, especially the screen aspect ratio. I would imagine, just from my initial thoughts, that the DevTerm would be difficult to use with the screen it has. @racuna@freespeechextremist.com @ins0mniak@freespeechextremist.com @threat@shitposter.club @god@3am.ohs.cx

  @p@freespeechextremist.com I guess it doesn't matter because apparently they've had severe shortages for a while now, from what I'm reading online and seeing on their website (everything sold out).

  Not really. The way they advertised it was "Dual VGA" and it's a little like that. Like, I open up acme and I can do two or three columns pretty comfortably. I use the fixed 6x13 font in both urxvt and Plan 9, and if I get rid of the padding on the side (normally left open so I can see conky, but I put a toggle for that in ratpoison), a urxvt/xterm window is 212x36, otherwise 187x36. So, more than enough space to have two regular columns with a page of code each, plus a little shell to the side, and still see the battery/wifi/CPU/RAM/etc. indicators in conky. If I'm reading a two-column PDF, I can hold it sideways and see one column at a time, very readable, hold it with one hand and hit the space bar to advance to the other column or next page, and obviously a single-column PDF I don't rotate and just read as-is.
  
  The same 6x13 font is a little small on the uConsole, so I have to use the 9x15 one. So despite the same horizontal resolution as the DevTerm, there's a little less horizontal space in terms of the number of characters that fit, so it's 142x47.
