Yup, and I would also like to see them support a shell environment, like Android Linux Terminal.

Well there is iSH, which is a sort of Alpine environment, though it isn't native.

My point was that iPad, which is very iPhone-adjacent (same App Store, etc.) already works surprisingly well with an external monitor/keyboard/mouse, so I could imagine Apple adding a similar mode for the iPhone.

Are you referring to httpx? ;)

If you damage your phone, as opposed to completely loosing it, the sim card is almost never damaged.

So changing phones can be done without any customer support or web forms or calls to service provider etc.

Actually, every phone I ever had eventually got replaced this way, I am still using the original sim card from years ago.

I should have clarified that he dropped the phone in the river AND he did not attempt to get it back from the river, thus the SIM card is considered lost as well :)

I am not a gamer, but if they made an 11-inch tablet, I would buy it to replace my ipad and macbook. I already have a portable keyboard I really like.

If you're not interested in games, why the interest in a Valve tablet?

SteamOS is probably the most commercially well-supported consumer desktop Linux, but it's still primarily a games storefront. If you only want to do desktop stuff, you're probably better off either on the Chromebook/Android train, or putting a community-supported distro on whatever hardware you've got.

Yeah, this basically, and they have good hardware too.

> the Chromebook/Android train

I am not really interested in getting back into the google world. If I buy hardware it needs to support a real linux distro.

> putting a community-supported distro on whatever hardware you've got

With the Macbook, my only option is Asahi. If things keep going the way they are going, I may well end up there. But it is 13 inches and I don't love the keyboard.

I would rather something with an 11 inch screen (for travelling) that can drive a full-size monitor when at home. And use the keyboard I like regardless.

You can put their OS on a minisforum V3 and that's like ... exactly what you want?

Thanks, this is exactly the sort of reply I was fishing for. I'll check it out!

Out of curiosity, what's the portable keyboard you like?

Keyboardio Atreus

Sounds like it worked pretty well several times? But yeah it does not scale forever.

Pretty sure santa works east-west, starting at the international date line. He stretches Christmas day into 48 hours. This is how he can do so many deliveries in a single date.

Or more importantly, when did the Perl Monks build a pyramid? Plenty of rulers are long forgotten.

A building that wasn't a pyramid, but had simple step sided walls is only significant in retrospect!

ie it only became of historic interest after the fact as people retrospectively thought it might have influenced later more significant buildings.

While I agree a page about Perl Monks isn't likely to be that significant - I was making a general philosophical point.

Eg how do you know that PerlMonks doesn't end up being one of the earliest examples for self-organising elearning - a movement that ends up replacing Universities in the future?

In terms of the details of this page leejo posts are more substantive.

Surprisingly, chihuahua bears are not my idea of a good time.

I feel like something bigger would actually be better, like somewhere between a collie and a GSD. Labrador-size and temperament bears would be about the right speed, maybe.

Hah, where does the new breed land on the temperament wheel... Is it going to be more like a koala, raccoon, weasel, badger, or tasmanian devil?

I would not be surprised if you can buy quite a lot of them for cheap.
