[Official] CR-48 ChromeOS Laptop Shipment-Tracking


Recommended Posts

What gives you that idea? They started shipments immediately after they started accepting applications, and they are taking applications until the 21st. What possible reason would they have for holding off the remaining shipments? All that would do is create a nightmare for their shipping department.

well since they are being shipped from louisville, ky the weather will be playing a role. since its been snowing everyday

Doubtful, they haven't been delayed in the tracking and there are no weather delays posted on UPS.COM, which they almost always post when there is a delay of any kind. To cover their own butts from refunds.

What the hell was THAT all about???? Did Google suddenly realize they had sent one to someone on their naughty list? Or someone in prison??

As for the other one, it is simply showing that it is rescheduled for delivery thursday. And it is going to New York, so if it is a weather delay, it is probably at the recieving end, not in KY.

My guess one of the people trying to sell it.

That would make sense. Especially if the seller was using their Gmail address for eBay transactions, it would be easy for Google to find them.

hmm wounder how often google will push updates ? honestly other than easy internet not sure what more i can do with it :/

any ideas ? ( other than shipping it to someone else lol )

How responsive is Google docs? Would you consider using it to write a rough draft for a uni paper?

I have played with Google Docs some. It seems like it should be a nice cheap alternative to office for mobile use. Also I have started looking at other tools within the new apps. Thinking the new VNC app will come in handy.

There are two in my zip. One was delivered on the 12/10/2010. I ordered mine on 12/10/2010, and it shows one out for delivery for today...mmmm

I'm gonna drive past your house right now and see if it's there... haha

Google is doing a WONDERFUL job with making us go crazy over these laptops...

I think neowin will lose sleep over these stupid things.

Now...WHERE is **** is mine?! I can't go another day without sleep!!!

or figure out a way to get windows on that bad boy

Really shouldn't be that hard, especially if you have another computer with SATA handy. I'm thinking it would be something like this:

1. take out the battery and flip the developer switch

2. take the SSD out and connect it to a machine that has a DVD drive in it

3. use that machine to install Windows 7 on the SSD

4. before the first boot into Windows, take the SSD out of the install machine and put it back into the CR-48

5. boot into Windows 7 and set up any hardware that needs drivers not included with Windows (most of the hardware is similar to what is in the current model of Dell mini 10, the 1012).

Bleh, I give up on waiting. I've been watching the tracking for the only package coming to my zip all day, but it's STILL out for delivery, almost 12 hours after it originally left UPS this morning.

yeah, but would it even run it decently? Might not even be worth it.

As I just said, much of the hardware is virtually identical to the Dell mini 10 1012 model. I has almost the same processor (Atom N455 vs. N450) and the same video card, but with the advantage of an SSD instead of a hard drive, so it should run very well with Windows 7.

    • Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI by David Uzondu The Ladybird Browser Project has announced it will no longer accept public pull requests and will limit changes to those made by its maintainers as it works towards its first alpha release. According to Ladybird's creator Andreas Kling, this is "not a change we make lightly," but the rapid shift in AI capabilities forced their hand. Previously, a massive PR implied that the person behind it put a lot of care into the code and is ready to "answer for the consequences." Now with AI, anyone can generate a PR without even understanding the bug fix or feature they want merged. The blog post goes on to say that the team is closing all open public pull requests immediately, and that maintainers will not treat external forks as a review queue for upstream Ladybird. Instead, the team wants outside contributors to focus on reporting bugs and running tests. Kling started Ladybird back in 2019 as LibHTML, a simple HTML viewer for his hobby operating system, SerenityOS, but by September 2022, it had turned into a full-fledged browser project. What sets Ladybird apart from the likes of Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox is its totally independent engine, which does not rely on pre-existing codebases. The project maintains a strict policy against default search engine deals or user data monetization, keeping development funded entirely by donations and sponsorships. Generative AI is forcing open source project maintainers to rethink how they handle public code contributions (and the whole open-source thing in general). One month ago, a leak about the National Health Service (NHS) suggested the organization was planning to take all of its public repositories private ahead of a May 11 deadline, thanks to Mythos (an AI model that Anthropic believes is too dangerous to be released to the public) and its ability to find and write exploits for zero-day vulnerabilities. Thankfully, the Government Digital Service (GDS) issued a counter-report titled "AI, open code and vulnerability risk in the public sector" that stopped the shutdown by pointing out that hiding code does not improve security.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
