<p>I have two to add: Works, but only every other app version. Second: works if the aosp keyboard or gboard are active but not with LeanType. Easy fix once you know, but that was not a fun time debugging.</p>

<p>I guess both produce two-wheeled one-person mobility devices? There is some overlap in utility, but the audience doubting between a petro motorcycle and an electric scooter would be vanishingly thin, I think.</p>

<p>I never bought the benevolent technical angle for not supporting flash. I'm pretty sure Apple strategists knew the value of the gate-kept platform, the app-store revenue stream.<p>The pivotal point was that flash would break this stronghold by allowing rich applications that are reasonably self-publishable. (Excuse me while I go rinse that sentence out of my mouth)</p>

<p>Broadly speaking: IP Transit is the relaying of bandwidth towards the rest of the world.
Dark fiber is a fiber optic connection where you shine light in and get it out on the other end, no other party on the physical fiber strand.<p>(Both are generatalizations)</p>

<p>Something akin to ssh agent-forwarding ("oauth-forwarding"?) is really needed.
And it needs to be integrated similarly well like support for jumphosts.<p>Haven't seen anything like this, I'll try to bring this up with the openssh folks.</p>

<p>Apart from the business model and mobility benefits, those scooters are just plain dangerous. They are absolutely fun to drive, and easy to drive swiftly.<p>But your body mass is so high off the ground on a very small base, with VERY small wheels. Riding on a bird I hit a small pothole (it looked like a very slight puddle) and catapulted off onto the sidewalk. The physics are undeniable.<p>Personally I'd like to see the same model with bicycles, even if they are electric.<p>And for the love of public space: force all competing brands to share vehicles, drop-off zones and handlers.</p>

<p>One more nit-pick: the screen is polarised the wrong way. You can't see anything when wearing polarised sunglasses (those are always oriented so they filter out the polarisation of water puddles).</p>

<p>One of the things I really considered is that if nobody gives these "independent" Linux-focussed vendors a chance, then Linux-on-the-desktop will forever remain a non-factory option and a second-class citizen in support manners.</p>

<p>They use hardware from clevo-computers.com, but they select certain parts. The uefi is not the stock, so I'm assuming they do some tuning.<p>TuxedoOS was very limiting to me; a vanilla Debian works very well.</p>

<p>I'm typing this on my 1 year old Tuxedo InfinityBook (S 14 Gen6, not the Pro).<p>Now I'm definitely spoiled by the Lenovo X1 series, but I'm not happy.<p>The hardware is a rebrand from clevo-computer.com - some minor spare parts can be had from there.<p>The system is VERY prone to overheating, the fan is noisy. They claim the fan noise is "not annoying" which is only true in the short term. I have opened up the bottom shell and I believe the fan recirculates a bit of hot air back into the case. This really is a limiting factor for me, I'm considering an alternate cooling solution.<p>The case had a minor chip in it within the first ten minutes out of the box (I don't know how that happened, I think it just pinged off by itself!). The palm-rests are starting to show dark spots.
My barrel jack power connector is loose, I have to hold it in with a rubber band. (I still have the usb-c port)
All the rubber feet at the bottom fell off quite some time ago, superglued them back on.
The (super compact) PSU started to whine, that was replaced under warranty - but is stated to be a consumable item!<p>Out of the box they have their own OS, which is a somewhat modified Ubuntu. My main driver is Debian and almost everything worked right out of the box - sometimes I got back (usb-boot) to their distro to validate things (see: support).<p>The firmware is more than okay for me; I managed to cross-compile their "control centre" to allow me to change performance/fan characteristics on the fly. The uefi updates work fine (boot from a stick), but they are undocumented.<p>The support is ... rigid. The first response is to boot their own distro and kernel. This is fair for a mass market product I guess, but I somehow hoped that specific questions would find their way proper Linux Gurus (tm).<p>There is a very cute penguin instead of a windows logo on the keyboard :-)</p>

<p>Regarding the termination: our local fiber provider handles the termination with some optical precision connector (forgot the name). Both to the sunken-in-sidewalk multiplexer and in the home to the optical termination point (both gpon). So for mass deployments fiber connections do not require fibre welds are not required.<p>I have to see it play out in practice and I'm not a fan of the idea that one telco controls controls (ie stifles competition) in a gpon scenario. The conduit has recently been placed in our street, so "soon"...</p>
