GPD MicroPC 2 is out on Aliexpress :)

>>106162697 (OP)
buy an ad

>>106162697 (OP)
I can't buy it because of Trump's tariffs

>>106162697 (OP)
doesn't support coreboot
no buy

>>106162733
You can't pay the extra price of freedom?

>>106162744
Nothing supports it.

>>106162697 (OP)
Overheat status?

>>106162827
It's Intel N250. It will get hot but won't throttle.

>>106162744
use case for coreboot? other than paranoid pedophilia?

>>106163984
Won't LUKS drive encryption solve this entire issue?

>>106162697 (OP)
Does it use the shitty spin hinge now?

>>106164308
Yes and still no camera.

>>106165949
It's not a gaming machine, Bob.

>>106162733
Trump is anti-semaidic.

>>106165949
The machine is for programming on the go without peripherals, which fits in your maid apron. It is a computer for maids not a computer for gamers. That being said, they should have kept the thumbsticks. Those actually make a pretty comfy mouse.

>>106166076
GPD literally stands for "GamePad Digital" and the first device they marketed ONLY had game controls, they added the keyboard later
I want my cake and eat it too faggot I want to be able to program on the go AND code in place, plus this thing has a tiny faggot keyboard, I want a keyboard with real keys for my giant fingers

>>106166424
They have larger models. First MicroPC didn't have gaming sticks.

>>106162697 (OP)
Link it? Can't find it.

>>106162697 (OP)
for what purpose?

OH FUCK

And rakuten has 25% cashback I think still

I'm highly interested

link?

and what the fuck is coreboot? does it run troonix?

>>106162697 (OP)
>n250
>n300

Pass.

>>106162733
KEK

>>106162697 (OP)
ywnbaw, what's the price

>>106170301
710 Dollars.

usecase?

>>106171806
Use Linux instead of Android/iOS on the go?

you should be able to do swipe typing on something you hold like that. you dont type on it like a normal keyboard but just your thumbs? hell no. and someone should write software for detecting programming structures with swipe typing. like coming from LSP. for example i swipe 'for' and if writing C it will type for(){} and put my cursor in the parentheses. well, if that was ever going to be a thing it already would be. what is developing on a phone like? has anyone even thought of solutions before?

>>106172066
Are you retarded? Use keyboard like normal people do.

Bring back this form factor

>>106171824
Android is Linux.

>>106172248
It's Google/Linux, not GNU/Linux.

Why this and not the pocket 3 or 4

>>106172914
So, still Linux.

>>106166126
maids dont need pocket computers, they need to clean!!!

>>106164450
>no camera
That's more of a feature you stupid fucking tranny.
Stick to your telemetry ridden machines if you really want your dildo riding clips to be broadcast all over the internet.

>>106166126
I love you maidautist keep doing what you do

Does it still have all the weird firmware issues with screen rotation and shit under Linux? I sold my Win 2 because of that

I would consider it if they have this.

>>106173645
Proprietary kernel.

>>106173918
god that design is so fucking sexy I want one so bad

>>106173701
Why? Ubuntu MATE worked ootb.

>>106173918
Stop recommending bad ideas.

>>106173965
Still Linux.

No RS232 option? Extremely gay and retarded, since that was the only redeeming feature of the MicroPC 1, which had terrible design & build quality btw.

>>106162764
>Nothing supports it.
Besides some Thinkpads.

>>106174334
Mine broke in mPC1 (pins). Just get a USB-RS232 adapter.

>>106174375
From 2011.

>>106174376
>mine broke
Case in point. Bent a pin on mine on day one, was able to fix it and be unnecessarily careful with it. Sold it after 6months and bought a second hand rugged laptop for the same money.
>USB-RS232
never works with the niche and old equipment that I use RS232 with. I need all signals and exact timing, including RTS/CTS etc. Rope for even suggesting pls.

Maid computing is pretty cute, but GPD sucks ass.

>>106162697 (OP)
usecase?

>>106174480
>usecase?
Maids like small computers because they need them to fit in their maid aprons and be usable for programming without peripherals or furniture or needing to sit or be stationary. A computer for a maid who has five minutes to code while the soup finishes cooking before she carries out a tray with the soup and some omurice and gives it to someone and does heart hands and draws a heart on it with ketchup.

You can't do that with a MacBook, newmaid.

>>106174458
>>106174458
I literally bought 5 different adapters from different companies and one of them always works with some old ass shit device in the end.

>>106174503
I bought this and it werks.

>>106168171
>>106171806
to hack on the go of course. you do engage in war driving and penetrating networks, right?

>>106174525
yeah, but then you look like a doofus and not a shway cyberpunk netrunner.

>>106174531
I use mine to ssh into my shit while I'm walking from point A to B.

>>106174540
But, you can eat a sandwitch.

>>106174525
>obscures the view of both heart hands and the maid's boobs
>makes it harder to do maid activities by being directly in your way
>adds even more weight to the front of someone with volleyball sized tits
This is anti-semaidic technology. The only real solution is a handheld that fits in your maid apron. That way you ate unobstructed when doing maid activities.

>>106174544
I just use my phone for that

Too lazy to look it up, does it have a SIM slot with support for phone calls?

>>106174563
I type faster on GPD than on my phone.

>>106174586
No. For SIM you need the more expensive model. I just have a 5G dumbphone for calls and ZTE router for wifi.

>>106174602
With only 2 thumbs and not swiftkey typing doubt it.

>>106174620
I use hacker's keyboard. It doesn't have swift, but also doesn't spy on you.

>>106173971
Yes but it was Ubuntu "A System Error Has Occurred" MATE

>>106175574
Not my experience. You can fix post grub messages with a boot flag.

>>106162697 (OP)
>no trackpoint
well, no
