Linux and vintage tech
A few weeks ago I started to notice some problems with my computer and ultimately discovered that it had a RAM failure. It wasn't quite obvious to me that the RAM was failing until I did some digging. I have previously written about that time-vacuum of an experience. Thinking the the worst, that the larger … Continue reading HP EliteBook RAM Upgrade and Blatherings

After working with Plasma Mobile on the Nexus 5X and although it is not quite ready for prime time, it is nearly there.

I am also continually seeing interest on the … Continue reading HP Touchpad with Plasma Mobile and openSUSE — Fall Time Blathering
