Home server is offline... need to figure out why.
Power?
No clue yet have to wait till I get out of work. This thing has been running non-stop for basically two years now hoping it didn't give up the ghost.

/me starts looking for the magic smoke.
-
About to head to St. Louis for the holiday with the Family. Dealing with a user atm before I can go.
-
Working on travel plans. Mostly around luggage.

? are you looking to buy new luggage, or you mean, what to pack?
-
Both, but more specifically, new luggage. Replacing both my and Liesl's backpacks for sure.
-
Putting back together a co-workers Lenovo 11 that had water spilled on it. I let it dry out for a week. Fingers crossed.
-
Also making laptop decisions. My current laptop needs to go to @ataylor14 as it is way too much for my needs. I don't need this much power. And @dominica's laptop is very impractical (it's a Lenovo.) She is looking at moving to a more functional Chromebook rather than that painful and problematic Lenovo disaster. And I just need less, this laptop is way too big for me.

Fingers crossed that the water destroyed it and they can move to something else?

I find I really dislike doing day to day work on a laptop. Perhaps it's that your day to day work isn't coding anymore, so you don't mind the smaller screens, etc.

I was thinking the same thing...
out of curiosity, what laptop do you have now?

I've never been all that bad with smaller screens.

Yeah, it's dead.
It's a shame because they spent a lot of moolah on this thing. (It's a Yoga 11S.) It's a lot of money to be sitting in a scrap heap.
It worked for a while, then fried. I told them next time, turn it right off.
They resurrected their old laptop. I'm going to out a Samsung SSD in there, and I think they'll be fine.

I only have a problem replying to this forum.
If I have a large response to type, I do it in Notepad, then just paste it over.
-
Oh yeah, small screens (low resolution) are a problem here. Especially on Windows. I find that on Linux Mint the issue goes away on the same screen.

It's a Yoga 2 Pro that we are replacing with a $250 Chromebook to get a better computing experience.

They thought they wanted the "yoga" part of it but never really used it.
I actually recommended the $149 option on BF from DELL, but they used the old laptop.
-
Yeah, the Yoga bit is pretty worthless. That's not a slam on Lenovo, people demand the dumbest features that have no purpose. We've never figured out when to use that.

I think most people that get the Yoga, the Dells with the flip screen and the Surface pro end up not really using it for why they bought it. Windows just isn't a good tablet OS like Android/iOS.

Someone gave me a Dell Windows tablet. It is terrible.
The iPad is so much better.
