We've had way too many unexpected expenses this year, so my unused vacation bonus melted away like snow in the sun... Luckily, my 2015 MacBook is still up to date on Sonoma thanks to OpenCore Legacy Patcher, but Sonoma’s days are numbered... so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I’ll get another bonus in June of next year so I can treat myself to an MNT Reform NEXT Purple Edition 💜 #MNT #openSource #openHardwarehttps://youtu.be/AIQOJRLVdQY

90s HP 200LX (80186 1MB RAM) + open source hardware #MNT Pocket Reform. I’m glad someone is still thinking of this form factor: very small but still usable for software development. #retrocomputing #retro #opensource #hardware

Seeing how "simple" those lapdock* PCB are (in the video below with a DP to HDMI Lontium LT8711UX chip and a RTD2556 display controller), I wonder if there's ongoing FOSS project to replicate them and allow people to put them into old laptops to reuse them (a lapdock into an old #Thinkpad shell or in a @mntmn@mastodon.social #MNT Reform Next shell would be a killer project) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9Bp3d3h-1Q *a laptop shell to which a compatible (alt-mode capable) phone connects and which then ouput its screen to the lapdock display and can be controller buy the lapdock keyboard + mouse (and sometime lapdock's touchscreen)
