But these days generally prefer to run Dex on Windows instead of carrying another device. Would love to see Dex on Linux happening officially. The workaround, although admirable, seemed too clunky to try [1]

Typed in 你好吗 and decompressed it. The decompression was an entertaining read.

Slid in a floppy disk and failed to write to it when pressing the shutter button on the camera. Didn't get it working and forget if I tried to format the floppy from the camera or not, if such method exists?

the samsung galaxy note 8 plugged into the hp elite x3 lapdock is a great candidate. doing this gives you a larger screen, keyboard, and trackpad.

furthermore, can use rooted android to develop for windows and windows ce by using tcc in conjunction with the aforementioned ndk to build tcc on the phone.

basically have three environments on it:

1 chrome with chromebrew shell and android apps

2 crouton for most linux needs

3 gallium for when i need VMs and other more finicky os interactions

if i could get some wifi drivers working under crouton and also sync with appropriate os header files each google sw update in order to install virtualbox i could forego galliumos.

under crouton was able to do a lot:

1 natively compile with gcc

2 cross compile for kindle paperwhite

3 cross compile for windows ce

4 cross compile for esp8266

5 cross compile for garmin connectiq

the author of the original article is funny about using a linux vm to compile apps for android and run in chromeos. because today i can use the android app named aide to build an android app on my chromebook and immediately execute it. no need for linux, vm, or crouton.

worked quickly and wonderfully, screenshot and recipe is here:
