Well, that worked. My old and slightly tired Chromebook is now enjoying a second youth as a dapper Linux laptop, running Pop!_OS. My favourite distro Kubuntu turned out to be a bit too much for it.

Why not resuscitate your own Chromebook? It was easier than I thought it would be.

Weekly output: MediaTek’s new Chromebook chipset, Verizon’s new price-lock pledge

This week saw me file two longer, not-yet-published stories for places that hadn’t seen my byline in several months, which reminded me how client re-development can be as esential as client development. This coming week will have me in San Francisco for a few days to cover the NTT Upgrade conference for my trade-pub client Light Reading (with that Japanese telco paying for my airfare and lodging, an arrangement I will note in the copy I file).

4/2/2025: MediaTek’s New Chromebook Chip Looks a Bit Overpowered, PCMag

Writing about new chipset architectures makes me feel like I’m pushing the envelope of my own grasp of technology–because until a few years ago, that topic wasn’t a regular feature of my coverage.

4/3/2025: After Raft of Hikes, Verizon Offers 3-Year Price Lock on Rates (But Not Fees), PCMag

Verizon provided an advance copy of this announcement late Wednesday afternoon to a colleague at PCMag who then asked me to cover it. That didn’t leave me much time to write a post that would be ready to publish at expiration of Verizon’s 8 a.m. embargo Thursday, but then I realized that this press release didn’t answer some key points about this rate guarantee and a few of Verizon’s other changes. I got clarification on one detail from a Verizon publicist and then opted to wait to see the entirety of the company’s fine print before filing this copy. My editors, to their credit, were fine with my taking that extra time to get the story right.

Can we get a mouse with magsafe? Many of us use our laptops on small tables that we have to move back and forth constantly, meaning that Bluetooth mice constantly end up flying and crashing on the floor. A magsafe ring on the bottom, paired with a magsafe ring on the table, would allow us to snap it securely to the table when not in use. It could even be used for charging the mouse as well. Thank you.

Ah, the wonders of modern technology: where Google graciously transforms your trusty #Chromebook into a brick by installing stealthy extensions! Meanwhile, #Mastodon suggests you enable JavaScript—because who doesn't love enabling random things to make stuff work? 🤦‍♂️🔧

Cloud IslandRob Isaac (@rmi@cloudisland.nz)Today Google bricked my Chromebook by force-installing a hidden extension that trains a machine vision model on the contents of my screen without my consent, making the whole machine too hot to touch, and I am once again begging someone, anyone, to remove Chrome from Google by any means necessary. https://research.google/blog/screenai-a-visual-language-model-for-ui-and-visually-situated-language-understanding/
