I like to plan ahead…my pixel is aging, I wonder why it still lives.
A laptop would be great. In the size of an 8" device 😁
I dunno, I only know one vendor that has a broad offering of WiFi. And last time I checked, it needed an app. But I would never use random public wifis anyway.
Authoritarian regime? Judging by the Lemmy server you’re on, we’re in the same boat 😉
Oh, I am not in Germany. Sorry for calling it that. I’m in Ukraine. Chose this instance in Germany for various reasons, including the fact that it allows IPv6-only networks (like when my ISP fucks up again, or I fuck up again, and IPv4 gets unroutable). I was also looking for an 8inch laptop but they don’t make Librettos or those “internet appliance” ARM ewaste pieces anymore.
Ah okay, i just assumed you’re a kraut. Then again, my Zigbee-coordinators are ukranian, so that’s that :-)
I picked the next best, as i never though i’d stay.
I would also be fine with something like the nokia communicator from back then. just a bit more modern and open. Or even a blackberry without blackberry. The porsche P9100 (i think?) was a nice thing, i liked it. The thing itself though, not the OS nor the company.
8inch laptop would be something…with one of those tiny keyboards. Lovely.
Right… Those none of these are made anymore. Except some EXTREMELY overpriced “gaming” and/or Intel Atom devices straight from foxconn. Saw a listing for a Libretto 50ct with a broken backlight in Kyiv the other day, by the time I figured I actually want to commit to buying it the listing was gone. Reduced to atoms. Shouldn’t have been so indecisive… The seller also included a picture of it running Win95 with a VGA monitor, was funny to see a shortcut named “Kiev map” (old name) right next to an Internet Explorer icon shortcut that says “anime”.
Lol. That dude knew what he needed in live. Anime and a way home 😁
And yeah, informed purchases will often bite you in the ass. I usually take ages to come to a decision after weighing in as many factors as I could. By then it’s often sold out, EoL or more expensive.
Guess we are just sooooo niche that it’s not profitable in the slightest.
Though the libretto was a bit on the big side for me. If I carry this around, I could also take my laptop. Which never left the house at all.
