      $250 seems pretty cheap for such a use... you expect what - 5 years out of it, so $50/year... seems reasonable.

      It is. But taking 5 minutes to post a discussion was well worth it. I’ll buy an Acer also and see how it works comparatively.

      Actually, depending on the possible cost savings, maybe not. If you buy two and compare them, that billable time could eat much of that savings. - Could, no idea if it will or not. Though I'll agree the post just for info sake was likely worthwhile.

      $250 vs $150 is significant. I'm not talking single quantity.

      So I started looking for information on an Android tablet could be re-initialized with the Chrome OS at a later date. Not much on that topic out there...

      Different hardware, unlikely to be happy trying to do that.

      We need a post that lays out all the reasons why Lenovo is bad. Then we can just link to it. It comes up all the time it seems like.

      There is a link to Travis' blog post but his site was down.

      Yup, could have easily set up an email account. Text leaves traces too.

      Sure, but if names aren't included, you have to make a lot of assumptions to lay blame on the non owner of the device.

      how would email be any different?

      that's a great point, I suppose it really wouldn't be. Just use gmail or whatever free service you can, only access it away from the house. Short of being caught red handed, deniability ensues.

      Exactly. Just don't put your name in the email address 🙂

      Can't you run windows 10 on the Pine64.. as in the RT/ARM version. I remember them saying that was going to be free without needing anything at all

      I'd have to go back and look to confirm. Not sure what I will use it for,.. I have about two dozen projects I think I would like to build - just not sure what route to go with any of them,...

      I don't know what I'd use OpenHAB for anything quite honestly.

      I don't have a smart thermostat, or Smart Lights or what ever. 😞 😢 😞 😢

      So I guess, can someone explain where I might find OpenHAB useful, I highly doubt that I'd program an app to work with a smart thermostat if I had one etc.

      Ingredients for stupendously amazing shit:

      Imagination / Problem to solve
      Arduinos / RPi's
      http://www.powerswitchtail.com/Pages/default.aspx
      http://store.hackaday.com/collections/new/products/esp8266-07-module-with-u-fl-chip-antenna-fcc-ce-certified
      https://www.adafruit.com/categories
      http://www.openhab.org/features/introduction.html

      One project I want to do is turn on the lights in my place when I get home from work and my phone joins the wifi.

      Another is to automate my door lock with a system that would not require any permanent modification to my apartment door / deadlock.

      I've also thought about making a really nice wall mounted lamp with LED strings embedded into a large slab of wood, possibly driftwood with a nice soft glass plate over them to diffuse the light

      Yet another is to build my indoor hydroponic garden - this will happen in 2016 for sure. I'm going to use SMT LED lamps and mount them to a common ground / heatsink in the form of a huge aluminium box tube that I can put a fan in the middle of and create a heat pipe that will not only provide light and cooling for LED but also heat and breeze for plants

      Still another is to get an OBDII BT module for my car and build a heads up display with an OLED screen so it shines up from the dash onto the windshield and display temp / pressures / coolant / gas / mileage / etc

      Something else that's bugged me a bunch is to build a 3D dot matrix cage for my apartment with IR LED beacons so I can fly a mini quad copter around with a built in AI and use it to water plants / auto recharge it's self

      For a commercial product I've long thought that something that monitored mains power usage from stove / major appliances and alerts you when they've been on for a while and can receive pokes to update power usage / status would be awesome because forgetting if you've turned off the oven is annoying as fk and useful to seniors and their children.

      Another commercial product I've wanted to do is a real air guitar with sensors in a special pick and on your finger tips but I think this is years away from reality with sensor sizes. I think it could be built into a special Tshirt with sensors but dont care enough to chase it. My cousin did an air drum kit project and it's dope, sensors on tips of sticks and you drum away in mid air over a sensor pad.

      Another commercial product I want to do is auto-tint windshield that will track eye position and dimm oncomming headlights. This is a dope idea and I think I can do it but with automated cars coming whats the point.

      Something that's bugged me for a while is it's hard to get cameras to all turn on and record at the same time and it'd be cool if you could control them all simultaneously. Most high end ones have an IR input sensor for a remote and I'd like to suss out all their codes and build a big blaster to hit record all a the same time for easier / lower staffing on large many angle camera shoots. This will let smaller production teams do cooler shots.

      I think it might be the secret, primary use case of the tablet. I wonder how many talks at Apple involved bringing up that use case as to why there is no stylus on their smaller iPads!

      iCloud Drive will start to look and act more like a mounted drive from a PC so will give a much more familiar file browsing experience.

      I'm trying to decide if this is a good or bad thing.... I haven't used cloud storage enough to get 'used' to it one way or the other.

      That's how bad it is now, no one uses it currently because it is useless.

      Should you really define a system as brilliant if it doesn't service the needs of the users?

      Yes. If they sacked the users and replaced them with new ones then my brilliant systems would save the company a fortune!

      And potentially even more if they sacked the users and didn't replace them! Now that really saves the money.
