BaDToaD
"Very" Old Timer
Blimey things must be getting near completion. A lesser spotted BaDToaD appears. Nice one ED you are the man!

I'm not too concerned about leaking private data from my Pyra.
The most private data on my Pyra will be saved games from my emulators.
[doublepost=1520139624,1520138933][/doublepost]...and maybe the root password to my device (and my luggage).
Debian 9, did a net install and with Pale Moon, network-manager, lxde, transmission, pdf reader, smart card setup, vlc and a few other things I still had about 1.3GB of the 3.5GB internal sd left.
Thinking of migrating /home and/or /usr to the sd card.
I'm guessing, based on previous performance, [...] Will eventually ship in the latter months of 2018
As far as I understand Spectre/Meltdown, Pentium3 should not be affected. They don't do speculative access to memory as far as I know.
regarding the completion date of the Pyra, it has perhaps been noted but should be noted again that ZXDunny is about the only one who predicted the future:
we'll just rely on ZXDunny's estimates from now on.
Everything before Silvermont has an in-order architecture.there are info about some Atom CPU which can't do memory operations out-of-order.
I suspect that's got little to do with the processor, and more to do with the peripherals and software. I attached a 802.11n 300Gbps card to my P3 desktop, and installed linux and it turned out to be quite usable, if slow to do disc. I used the internet via lynx a lot while setting everything up.Too bad my P3 laptops can barely use the internet anyways![]()
Unfortunately a lot of websites are coded in such a way that they have limited or even no functionality without Javascript.
All HTML5 seem to have done is made websites more laggy than Flash probably due to the amount of extra javascript required for certain functions, least it's open I guess.Or even worse - Adobe Flash Player -only- websites.
Wasn't HTML 5 supposed to eliminate the need for Javascript & Adobe Flash?
It's all fine and good until the "SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER" popup scrolls up at 2FPS with a black overlay that makes the browser unusable until you force close it.I suspect that's got little to do with the processor, and more to do with the peripherals and software.

I don't use noscript, but I do use Firefox's JavaScript setting to shut down scripts on really bad websites. That let's me get the best of both worlds.Back when I first installed noscript, it felt like a little extra work to get the internet to work well on my devices for a small benefit. Nowadays, judging by you lot, it enables me to skip a lot of the crud that would kill my ancient machines and make the internet a lot nicer place to spend time.
