Late June Photo Dump

-

Hi, everyone! It's been a little while since I last posted, but in my defense, I've been rather busy. I got home from Italy, bought a new car, and went to college orientation in the span of less than two weeks! Now that I have a spare moment, I thought I'd share my last few pictures from Italy (taken on my Sony DSC-H90) and some photos I got of my new Corolla (taken on my Canon Rebel T7). Enough talk, here are the pics!

This looks like it's out of an old textbook!

I hope you enjoyed these photos, and stay tuned for more! Until next time.

What's in John's Backpack? (EDC)

I may no longer be a computer science major, but I'm still fascinated by electronics of all kinds. That's why I take great pleasure in writing about my "everyday carry," that being the devices that I regularly take along with me. These are often being swapped around, as I am an enthusiast at heart, but some of these have stuck around for a long time. So, here's the list: Phone: iPhone 15 Pro (128 GB) It's a very nice phone. That's about all I have to say about it. Like most people, I'm pretty apathetic toward iPhones. I prefer iOS for my needs, and it does what I need it to. 'Nuff said. Laptop: MacBook Pro 14" (2023, M3) I feel bad for my MacBook Pro. It gets tossed around in my bag, is constantly being used, and has a fair few battle scars. But it keeps on going. This laptop has gotten me through college thus far, and I'm hoping I won't have to replace it for a few more years. Watch: Apple Watch SE (the newest one) I swear that this i...

How I Installed Ubuntu on the Dell Chromebook 3100

Chromebooks have always been an interesting product category for me. Similar to cars, I'm interested in things that compromise features to make themselves more accessible to the masses. I love economy cars, and I love economy computers.  Being the owner of a 2023 MacBook Pro, maybe I'm a little warmer to these basic computers than I would be if I had to use one. But I do own a $300 Asus Chromebook tablet PC which I do a lot of writing on. I'm actually writing this post on it. So, when a lot of Dell Chromebook 3100s came up on eBay, I splurged. What I got was 4 C-grade Chromebooks that were totally functional. I immediately got to work. Many say that you cannot use alternative OSs on Chromebooks, at least not natively. And they're kind of right. Depending on your model and chip architecture, alternative firmware may not be available. Further, many operating systems do not have all the necessary drivers available for Chromebooks. Take Windows 10 for example. It does not s...

Canon 50D - Sample Pics

Hi, folks! I have a (really) quick post for you today. I just got a Canon EOS 50D as a backup for my Rebel T7, and I'm highly impressed. Despite being pretty old, this DSLR pumps out some incredible pictures. Some cameras are timeless, and many of these old Canon digitals are shining examples of this. Eventually, I may cover the 50D in more detail. But for now, here are some of my favorite photos that I've taken with it. Enjoy!
