I've always heard good things about it, but it appears to no longer be maintained. It may still be the best option for my older, low spec 'book.
After seeing they have a generic x86 iso for postmarketOS, I may try it too. Ive been wanting to try out the gnome mobile shell option in pmbootstrap
I'm curious if anyone has tried alternative OSes on an EOL Chromebook?
Ive read using brunch can keep them receiving updates (without losing Android/Linux containers)
I tried out bliss is from a live usb last night and it was okay. Honestly the 3 launcher options just send to compete with each other.
Anyone tried any others out? If so, which ones, what was your experience like?
once had a datsun maxima with the 2.4l v6. was a great car (but terrible interior) but i unfortunately ran it up a tree.
How old? Is the battery removable? If so, you can try removing the battery, holding down power for about 10s, put the battery back or plugging in the power cord, then retry booting it
This thing was a simple kit made into a beast with the way I went about layering blacks to get one that was slightly lighter than black-black and kept some of the metallic of the base coat. I'd have done another but it wouldn't go with what I have planned for it without the different head types for the V. Oh well, 2/3 done! This is my take on the Victory coloring for the Rear Shrike Corps from Crossbone Ghost.
We’re definitely smaller than the Reddit gunpla sub, but I’m really enjoying the gunpla community on lemmy. Everyone’s chummy and welcoming. I’d love to see any you’ve built!
Is the Hba in a traditional server case with lots of airflow? My 9207-8i displayed a similar issue bc it didn’t have enough direct cooling (it’s not in a traditional server/case.) it would never show more than 2 drives at a time and they would often vanish. Once I mounted a fan to it, the Hba has been stable and showing every drive I attach
Apple opened up windows support drastically a while back. I've also never had iTunes (now Music) care about the source of an mp3. Everytime I imported mp3s of my old CDs, it did it with no fuss about where I got them. So even if you need to use the app to transfer, where you got the files won't be questioned by the software/apple.
That’s sick! What stand are you using for them/their bits?
I looked these up too after seeing them mentioned in an interview. Definitely vaporware. Reviews are not good. It’s very limited in its capabilities vs an actual laptop, build quality is meh at best, and the glasses are not very accommodating to the wearer.
Neat premise, not there yet.

this group slaps! they quickly took a top spot in my friend group's lazy paddling playlist. that steel gives them a great unique and relaxing sound
HG Zaku II C5 (bc I can't find a C6) for Font Baud in the Crossbone Ghost scene I'm now putting together.
I didn't like the greens used in the kit, so I grabbed some cans of Valejo Goblin Green and Russian Green. The grey's/blacks/browns were painted with Testor's Graphite Grey Metallic. The backpack was painted with Testor's Diamond Dust and given a couple of quick sprays of Ironlak Black Techie, for texture. Bc this is the only suit of the 3 that's "old," I used an acrylic Satin topcoat to give it a fuller look compared to the X0 and V that will accompany it.
Since the Zaku is the only non-combatant in the 4-way fight of Crossbone Ghost, I grabbed a box of Build Hands Round. I was a little surprised when I got them, as all the small, medium, and large options were noticeably different in size from the hands included with the Zaku kit. In the end, I went with the medium, as they were closest (smaller, but still closest.)

What doozy this one is! The build was great! Took me forever but that was on me.
In my now-fashion, I gave it a coat of paint, this time in more places than I usually do. Every piece of the internal frame got painted this time around. I did not paint the yellows bc it's an iconic color to me and I haven't found the right metallic yellow (I don't want gold) yet. I also used a few glitter coats of differing glitter fineness. The finest one was used on the yellows as a light coat to give it some shimmer. I actually really wanted this puppy to shimmer. I used the medium fine to spray on the psycho frame pieces, as well as on the funnel stand segments closest to the flying fins, and the coarser glitter spray on the segments closest to the stand. I was hoping to kind of recreate the summer trail left behind psycho controlled funnels. I also got some of the newer style LED pucks for MG so I decided this guy should have one!
Some things I noticed when building this big boi:
Articulation is awesome!
The few color changing stickers were a very welcome change to the foil stickers of HGs. They were super sticky and pliable. It found it to be no problem using a lil extra thumb force to get a lil stretch on then in areas they didn't quite reach far enough. I also didn't realize they were even part of the kit until opening it, so I ended up painting the light grey ones to match the light silver I used.
These suckers are not built to hold 6 funnels on one shoulder without great care. If 6 fins are on the backpack and it's placed on the stand, it leans lol it's not a snug fit to the back/backpack from the stand.
I did get the P-Bandai double funnel set to go with this (I know I didn't config the Nu for double fins on the backpack, but I like that cool sabre 😎) and the dang fins just don't want to stay shut enough to keep the lil effects in place (as seen in the gallery)
The double fin set also came with 🥁🥁🥁 an exact duplicate of the stand included with the Ver.Ka 🤦♂️ SoI guess I have a spare now 🤷♂️
Overall a great build! Now it's time to move on to the HG "scene" from Crossbone Ghost I've been planning!
I’m having a bit of a hard time with this, but I also acknowledge this is still relatively niche still.
I’d like to make printed recreations of some parts that I currently have. They’re unfortunately a bit complex to quickly recreate manually in a sculpting software. I do have an iPad PRo and a budget for any additional hardware to help. I was hoping I could find a carousel I could connect to the iPad Pro and use and app to control the carousel and scan the parts. I’m not finding anything.
Can anyone recommend a good setup to make 3D scans of these small parts, or an app/hardware combo that could help me accomplish this?
Now that Im in a new place and have new shelves, I thought it was finally time to bring home the rest of my HG collection from my office
Ended up securing the A5 piece of the Sun Rings with some twist ties, and they're holding very well! I'm calling this one done ✅
I kinda wish Lemmy had polls right now. With my spare A5 almost in my hands I'm looking forward to the next build, but I can't decide if I should start a HG Zaku/Ghost/Victory moon fight scene or the ver.Ka RX-93 with double fin funnels. A poll would make it so much easier to quickly get the opinion of my fellow builders! Oh well, I'm still interested in your opinions! Which do you think will be cooler or more fun to do next?
Got this thinking it was an HG kit, and opaque (Amazon seller had an incorrect listing.) Turns out it's not HG. Reminds me of the couple of no grades I've got.
Overall cool, and only one unused piece, but hard to keep the legs on. The translucent plastic feels pretty brittle and the stress/sanding marks are seemingly impossible to get out.
If I knew more about the specifics of this kit before buying, I probably wouldn't have. But I did, I built it, and Domon spent long enough for his brother. No need keeping them apart now!
Got these printed up by a friend at a sign shop. Took a while to cut bc the transparencies were thicker than normal. xacto wasn't doing the trick well enough for me, so I had to take my time with small scissors.
They all fit the stands well (despite some slight warping I'm choosing to get over now. they've been hit with a coat each of a small and large flake clear coat, and the top coat is now drying.
All that remains now is sucking it up and modifying the A5 piece that attaches to the core lander. I'm thinking I'll probably wait to try that until my second A5 piece has been confirmed to have started it's journey from Japan. I'd hate to mess this up and have to sit and brood on that without an ETA for a replacement to the very vital last piece.
I swear they made these 2 HGs with what I’m doing in mind lol The only modding I had to do to the gundam was cutting and separating the front skirts. The back skirt was already designed to be able to tilt upwards at the waist. Next up is drilling slots for a slightly modified sun rings attachment to fit onto the core fighter for the full effect!
Good HG, but I feel like a part of me died when I realized the foil stickers actually did make the build easier/look better than painting. I was also a bit bummed my yellow paint wasn't laying down well, so I switched to gold for the small stuff that should be yellow. I tried some firsts for me in it too: testors white lightning and Tamiya panel liner 👨🏼🍳👌 chefs kiss on both. I'm expecting some cutting/part removal when he's mounted on the mobile horse.
It's always bothered me that F91 and Turn A enemy MS kits have always been so hard to find. This looks like a WAAAY better kit than the Zollidia kit a grabbed about a year ago (one day I'll paint and assemble it.) But this Flat has me pondering making it next!

The Origin MG RX-78-2 was a real blast to put together! I recommend it for anyone on the fence about grabbing it. Worth. it.
Next up will be God Gundam+Fuunsaiki. I’ve got some rings printed on a type of transparency. I just have to cut them out and I’ll be able to have all the fun RG goodies on my HG!
Does anyone have the RG God Gundam that can share the inner and outer diameters of the red/orange/yellow energy rings?
I d like to make some for my HG and am not a fan of the methods I’ve seen on YouTube so far
