Log
A little AMD Tablet
I forgot why I got this. What I like about it is that is a nice compact size with a reasonable resolution display. It has an HDMI out. The keyboard dock/stand is a bit neat.
Somewhere it ended up with OpenBSD installed. It runs i3, and most things seem to work with maybe the exception of the touchscreen. I've not tried the cameras.
OpenBSD upgrades
This machine updates OpenBSD slowly. It was on 7.2, and I switched to the EU mirror to grab the old releases. I made it to 7.7 in one night.
The last few upgrades I ran out of space on some partition. Should probably put something larger in this. I got it upgraded to 7.9 though. It is really starting to feel slow though.
