@scottalanmiller How's the Aspire Linux support working out ?

So far, it's been great. Really liking it.

@gjacobse said in Wifi Card Not Being Seen:

have you tried using a Linux OS? This could be helpful in determination of the Hardware and OS

everything else works fine except the wifi for some reason just kicks off to the point the card itself is not recognized even with drivers re loaded , until you physically unplug and plug back in.

Okay - I swear it gave me an error when I typed

$ sensors

before.

@Tim_G said in SAM's Chromebook Adventure 2017:

I'm thinking of getting a Chromebook just so I can have non-mobile (desktop mode) web access in places I do not want to have a normal sized laptop. Is 11.6" too big for that purpose?

Phone is just too small and so inconvenient for some things I want to do. I'd rather have a super small laptop just for web access and simple things.

11.6" is not very big. It's only slightly different than carrying around an iPad, but for me, way more usable.

I'm thinking about one of these for the kids' bedroom back in Texas so that we can have a multimedia and multipurpose device that we can hook up to a TV monitor but get more general purpose use out of it than we would with just a Fire Stick or something like that.

@momurda said in Issues Installing Fedora 25 on Intel FakeRAID Device on Asus RoG G701:

You could try the rawhide version of fedora, it is using 4.11 instead of 4.8.6

He tried the current alpha release, worked the same.

@DustinB3403 said in Asus Tinker Board Takes on the Raspberry Pi 3:

I would actually invest a decent chunk of money into SBC if the use cases weren't so fringe. (at least for me they are)

Raspian doesn't really do much for me, I suppose I need to find a decent use for these and then I'd use em.

But otherwise they're really low cost computers with an odd use case.

Debian and Ubuntu, I believe, are already set on this board.

I have an ASUS ultrabook and I love it. It's built really well. I think I'm going to buy their stuff from now on. Unless I get enough money to buy a System76.

@StrongBad said in Asus RoG Rocking the WebRoot Secure Anywhere:

I've never liked those AV testing suites. They can't really test what is in the real world, so they can be rather misleading. And when someone is really good, their competitors tend to pay for them not to be included in the tests.

It's a good point. If the AV testing company knows about it and tests for it, then chances are all the AV suites have seen it too. It's very hard to get a fair "real world" test of true zero day threats. My thought would be a better metric would be a sort of "time to respond" metric for security companies. When a new vulnerability hits the streets, how long does it take for all the security companies to remedy it? That would take a lot of work though.

If this had 2 ethernet ports could this be used for something like PFSense?

Yes, it is just a normal PC.

But it only has one.

I had one of these (older model) Of course only had a one year warranty and at 13 months it starting having a problem where it would not power up. sometimes unplugging the battery would do the trick, but that required using a torq driver to remove the bottom.

I have no desire to ever own one of these again.

It seems that anything "Gamer" related has it installed.

It's generally easy to sell to gamers based on slick marketing and the market's desire for performance above all things often means that they have short memories and don't hold vendors accountable for bad behaviour. So the risks to Asus are low, in a year no gamer will care and Asus can do this again. One of the many risks of dealing with consumer grade equipment.
