A little success story from @z-space.ca@ap.brid.gy last night - picked up a small, EOL Chromebook, and within an hour it's able to boot any modern Linux distro 🥳

Landing area on third floor. There is a table with stuff on it. A projector projects gently waving text on the wall “welcome welcome to the z-space electronics bazaar please feel free to purchase a 15 year old windows 7 install disk without a key”

Someone is overjoyed to have a mini wireless keyboard and trackpad for working with Rpii

Based on early feedback, we’ll look to do it semi-regularly, maybe also some DIY tinkering and other hardware & hacking projects.

Spending the evening at @z-space.ca and have some recent music purchases on the big sound system & chilling.
