If you build in a back door, people will use it.

So tired of Intel's messes.

What little text editing I do, I usually do it with vi.

@clod said in Atom Editor and IDE:

My choice is CodeLobster IDE
It works best for projects that use some framework.

I don't know that one, checking it out. You need to note that you work at CodeLobster, though.

Sorry - some reason I'm wondering what I could use this for.....

Well it is a small, quad core, low power desktop computer that you can run Android, Linux or Windows on. So mostly anywhere that you need a low cost, low power desktop.

I guess since I haven't followed the technology much, I am missing something. My take is that it's a USB device,.. But it's a desktop. But it doesn't make sense to plug it into my desktop to run a desktop... sorry.. Seems like a dense question I know.

It is actually a HDMI device that plugs into a monitor and is powered via USB (at least from what I am seeing).

Only looks like USB. That's the monitor output that you see.

AH! - Okay. That makes a tad bit more sense. Hmm.. I'll have to make a note of that,.. and see. I have the 32" TV at the house that doesn't get much use...
