I've been a fan of Beos philosophy since the Personal Edition but never had the occasion to run it on steel as I was too poor to have two machines back in the days, and now I miss login/password prompt at boot on Haiku. But i'm following it closely and I hope i'll be able to install it on my X220 for a web/mail machine !

You didn’t need two machines to run BeOS. I ran very smoothly on a Windows PC via dual booting.

BeOS 5 could even be installed on a Windows FAT32 partition alongside Windows (it created a 50MB virtual disk).

At one point in time I had Windows 95, Windows 2000, Linux (possibly Slackware) and BeOS 5 all running on the same single PC.


I was probably younger than you, and on the family computer. Couldn't make what I want and mess with booting back then ! I remember trying the PE edition through windows but couldn't install it.

There’s a grey one. So obviously, it was timed.

Thanks for the link, this is exactly what I'm looking for as i've never been able to work with cataloguers like Lightroom or iTunes.

Never been a fan of editing photos, especially as I have difficulties dealing with the infinite possibilities. I just stick with default output from the camera and just fix backlight or some minor adjustments required. I'm a big fan of Foveon sensor (sigma dp, sigma sd) and lately fp and BF, it helped a lot as they really know color and I love how they deal with it. I also shot and process black and white film, and appreciate the "deal with film/developper characteristics" approach too.

Check your local classifieds for « DY » laptops, you’ll find a lot of hp computers for this exact reason !

Very happy with my units, set up through Home Assistant. Teardowns confirm that ikea has been able to put a great quality sensor for such a low price.

Open source, local and passion driven. The kind of news that make me believes in humanity again. Thank you, can't wait to try it this week-end !

Same issue with mine, and I came in the comments to see how many people were affected. I’m very surprised OP don’t have the problem with his unit.


Who needs Metallica when we have Slayer ?


Different styles. Slayer is more "history of death metal" thrash, Metallica is more "classic bay area" thrash. Personally I am more into the "history of death metal" type thrash and ambivalent about metallica but I appreciate them as artists.


thrash? whatever you feel about Metallica, the songs are carefully written and performed

real thrash is a real thing, you know it when you are in it


I am saying I respect both ends of thrash metal even though I have a particular lean to one side of the spectrum.


Love it. Can it sync with caldav/cardav ? Couldn't find the infos in the store.
