Somewhen over the winter, my \”grizzly\” laptop just stopped working. I think I managed to make one last backup of its content, but it just does not power up any more. So from time to time, I manage to borrow my fairy\’s laptop for the evening and do some nds dev \’ing, but it became increasingly unlikely these days. I\’ve got my new boox, though, so hopefully I can still do some homebrew-ish hobby, including uploading and translating contents on my blog.
Unfortunately, we\’re still milestones away of the ability to scribble patches with a stylus. The device l\’m really waiting for is ClockworkPi\’s devterm. I think of it as a typewriter device you can use in an armchair, with just the amount of screen needed to get content and check for typos. I have hope that, combined with the NUC, it will allow me to get more freedom
But there\’s a catch. I preordered it, and it should arrive by Avril, unfortunately, no one seems to have received any update from Clockwork Pi people since early January. So I keep my fingers crossed and. really, -really- hope that I haven\’t fell for another \’noteslate\’-like vaporware hoax.
Once I\’ll receive my devterm kit, I\’ll have to go downtown and find a pair of lithium batteries to power it.
Post-pandemic global chips shortage?
Yup. Global shortage. See you in May … (hopefully)
edit: happy end: arrived on Sept. 1st. Works when plugged on USB power if you don\’t have batteries yet.
