@pallenberg 17 Jahre altes Netbook mit MX Linux. Wird nicht aktiv genutzt und ist keine Rakete. Aber es läuft auch nicht schlecht. Notfalls deckt es eine ganze Menge des täglichen Bedarfs ab. Surfen, Mailen, etwas Office usw. Es ist ein gutes Beispiel daür was machbar ist, wenn das sekundäre Ziel nicht die Elektroschrottproduktion ist. #linux #samsung #netbook

Upgrading this Toshiba NB105.

Fortunately DDR2 prices are not that crazy. I also replaced the keyboard and the drive.

My cat is helping me with the cat hair inside the netbook.

So, I found this netbook and decided to fix it.

First step was easy: I tested NetBSD on it. (because it's a netbook, you see? 😜)

But the unit is in a sorry state. A USB port is so rusty that it doesn't work. I left the battery in a recycling point of my city because it was not safe to handle. Lots of keys from the keyboard doesn't work at all, etc, etc.

Let's see if I can find good parts for it. If you know where I can purchase parts for a Toshiba NB105 (NB100 series) in Spain or the EU, please let me know.

#Some #twm setup I've borrowed from somewhere might look cool, but in
order to avoid #rsi in my old #netbook the #cwm window manager is no
match for any one. Everything it's keyboard bound.

I genuinely liked and miss netbooks. They were perfect for small things, didn't use a lot of power, and if the battery puffed, you could easily remove it AND still use the device! I hate that they were beaten by tablets. Bring back netbooks.

넷북을 오랜만에 켰다. timeshift 기록 보니까 3월 이후 처음인 모양이다. arch linux가 제대로 업데이트 안 되어서, timeshift만 대충 백업하고 그냥 다시 밀어버릴 생각. 이번에는 뭐 써볼까...

@charlesarthur What #OLPC did was kickstart the #Netbook revolution and let companies like #AMD & #Intel know what #VIA, #DMP (#Vortex86) and #ARM knew all along: Low-power mobile devices at a low price will sell well!

Laptops die écht oud zijn en niet meer geschikt om fatsoenlijk op te internetten hebben één groot voordeel: je kan er niet mee internetten. Dus: typen zonder afleiding, of tekenen zonder afleiding. Geen verleiding om toch even op social media te gluren of het nieuws te lezen.
Ik gebruik dit netbookje nu voor de referentiefoto's, beter dan telefoonscherm en neemt weinig ruimte in op mijn bureau.
Het toetsenbord is net wat te klein om hem als typemachine te gebruiken.

The **BashCoreZ RT** supremacy continues! We just tamed a 2009 Intel Atom N450 netbook (2GB RAM).

MAX Jitter hit an impressive **112µs** (-t1). The difference when scaling to 16 threads (-t16) was only 42µs!

This confirms it: our zero-bloat architecture minimizes scheduling overhead on even the weakest legacy CPUs.

We're bringing guaranteed performance to obsolete hardware. BashCoreZ RT makes ancient PCs viable again. Zero excuses. 👑

RE: mastodon.social/@theverge_com/

It is funny I tooted on netbooks/EeePC the other day. Conclusion: The Olimex DIY laptop is cheap ("HP Mini 210 HD, could set you back about $385 in 2010, depending on the configuration. When adjusted for inflation, that’s a hair over $577.") olimex.com/Products/DIY-Laptop

I own a miniature "netbook computer", the best selling type of computer from 2009 to 2011 (I believe) that's been unused for 8 years. Unlike the last generation of netbooks, with larger screens and normal sized keyboards, my Eee-PC 900A is a real 1st gen netbook: the keyboard is the right size for touch-typing toddlers and the 8GB flash is, like, small. It has a 32bit CPU; Bookworm is the final #Debian release supporting it. It now runs the latest Firefox ESR. Slow, but it works.

Decided to give #FreeBSD a try, after having #NetBSD as a daily driver in my old (and defunct) #netbook

The onboarding experience is certainly far from what you get in modern #Linux and just a tad above what I got with the minimalist install for NetBSD.

Pictured is my #RaspberryPi 4 encased in a #JoyPi Note 1.

I had to borrow the ethernet cable from the Vodafone STB, so I can install the required stuff for Wifi (sure, I could do it by hand, but meh).

Might do some #Mesa3D hacking on that :)

Fixed up another tiny computer! This is an NAV51 (made by Acer, this one has the emachines branding though).

When I got it, the keyboard wasn't working. I got a replacement, and also upgraded to 2GB of RAM and a 512 SSD (both pulled from my spare parts bin). AntiX performs exceptionally well on the single core, two thread 1.66 MHz CPU.

I have a battery on the way that should be here in the next 2-3 weeks, and then I can take this bad boy on the road!

A small Acer NAV51 netbook. It's opened and powered on, and the new keyboard is visible. Some stats can also be derived from what's shown on the screen; it has a single core Intel Atom N450, 2GB of RAM, about 512GB of SSD storage, and a 1024x600 pixel LCD. It's in surprisingly good shape for its age, with no scratches or other damage visible. A coffee cup is nearby and provides some scale; this is a SMALL machine by laptop standards.

🟠️ Et un nouvel article tout chaud sur le blog ! 😁️

J'ai reçu il y a quelques jours mon GPD MicroPC 2 et aujourd'hui je vous présente cette machine atypique, pourquoi elle m'intéresse et comment y installer Ubuntu

➡️ blog.flozz.fr/2025/09/15/premi

Pour moi il s'agit un peu d'un retour des netbooks, ces petites machines qu'on transportait partout avant que les smartphones ne débarquent 😄️
