To clarify... by "some people can't code" -- I not only mean the people who, in a literal sense, cannot write or read any programming language and therefore are unable to contribute, but also people like me who are truly awful at it and honestly should, for the sake of sanity in those who can

Re: [Arm-netbook] Fwd: The PowerPC Notebook campaign has just started

Haha, I remember PowerPC. Mac stuff, mostly, despite being an IBM creation IIRC. Last I heard (years ago) there were scaling problems, couldn't crank up the MHz enough fast enough to satisfy the general public -- most of whom don't understand clock speed to begin with...

[Arm-netbook] 3D Printering Idea

Hey, Luke, is this article at all useful to you? http://hackaday.com/2017/06/24/hackaday-prize-entry-a-3d-printer-management-system/ It looks like something you could fairly easily implement in such a way as to potentially speed up laptop part printing... the way I envision it, you have one

Re: [Arm-netbook] early access EOMA68 to hardware for parabola ARM maintainers?

I know Europe's a whole different ball game -- but -- DHL "eCommerce" shipping (invariably marked on the label as "DHL Global Mail") in the US is the single slowest partnered-with-the-Postal-Service-for-cheaper-service shipping medium that I've ever used. USPS Media Mail is faster! Heck, ePacket

Luke, dare I ask your opinion on XFCE, which is my preferred DE...? (MATE is my second choice, followed by... oddly enough, that new Budgie thing.) ___ arm-netbook mailing list arm-netbook@lists.phcomp.co.uk

Re: [Arm-netbook] modifying a 7 inch notebook cabinet to accept apccard

Respectfully, if you can't understand the protocol, you're out of your depth and need to tackle something simpler and build up to this. Take the scenic route, it will reward you better. Trust me -- I speak from experience on this -- you'll wind up with a half-completed project that doesn't work

Re: [Arm-netbook] firefly 3399 all source software disclosed?

Dude, with all due respect, Luke knows what he's talking about. He's been in this world for a good long while. If he says "pump your brakes" on this stuff, like he's basically doing... I'd be pumping my brakes right about now. Sounds to me like you're taking a stick to a hornets' nest here. Not a

Re: [Arm-netbook] molex 12v 5v 2a power supply together with 3 way usb otg host charger cable

Regardless of rating, I wouldn't recommend it. Those are about $5-10 on eBay and they're worth a tenth the price. The last two I bought blew up in a year, and since China never puts much money into them, they don't die alone... whatever they're plugged into when the capacitors happen to burst is

Re: [Arm-netbook] Totally derailed topic

...I wouldn't even go that far. I would say that I have a very limited faith, insofar as I believe that living things have some sort of spirit or soul that gives them life. That's quite literally the extent of it. I certainly don't believe in some sort of supreme being or 'force' or anything like
