@Judeau I like WindowsCE as well. I wish it was easier to install software on many of the devices, but that's part of what makes them useful for me. Instant on, get right to Word and start working.

My favorite #WindowsCE device is the Vadem Clio. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vadem_Clio). I have two of these. I used to have a very nice third one, but they're very picky about power and I fried it using a voltage adapter.

@Judeau I can't find the Linux distro, although I think it was some form of Debian. I did find an old RemixOS install tool I had for it.

Looks like it's on Archive.org as well https://archive.org/details/RemixOSForPC64B2015123002.7z

@juergen_hubert You got this

A few recent SF finds at the thrift store #thrifting, #sf #sff

80s Post Cards from Oregon found cleaning out my mom's house #Oregon #postcard

This was a fun little set, also from Aliexpress. Wall-E in the lab. The set is modular, and I've got some more scenes on the way. #wall-e, #alternabricks, #lego

A few Polaroids of the family instruments from when I was a kid. #polaroid #nineties

Kaneda's bike from Akira. Fake LEGO from AliExpress turned out pretty nice. All printed decals, no stickers, and everything fits tightly. No missing pieces.

@Judeau I had one of these running android, and was able to install Linux on it but the track pad was almost unusable, especially with the buttons on either side. Hope you have fun with it! I remember it being surprisingly light.

Lack of dynamic curriculum also leads to teacher apathy. They aren't excited about the material or teaching, impacting a family's decision to leave the district. According to CAPE, Springfield School District has not updated curriculum in 7 years. #SpringfieldOR

The next #SpringfieldOR school district meeting accepting public comment is Monday, March 9th, 2026 at the Springfield City Council chambers or watch online https://vimeo.com/SpringfieldPS

At OregonCAPE.org public forum. According to an anonymous, social media survey, kids are leaving #SpringfieldOR because of class sizes, lack of emotional support, lack of challenge, and opportunity to attend another district.

However, Springfield's A3 High School has 50% enrollment from other districts.

Other factors in declining enrollment:

External: Economic, Societal, Political, Big Picture
--falling birth rates, access to housing, aging population, lack of jobs, cost of living, family stressors

Internal: Policies, Procedures, Practices, Decisions, goals, top-down management, standardized testing, unengaging curriculum

2026 is perfect storm of external and internal factors building for 20 years of No Child Left Behind for all schools.

According to Oregon Department of Education, all school enrollment was rising until COVID, then saw decline overall, but Springfield is dropping ahead of curve.

Bend and LaPine are examples of growing populations of retirees with no increase in student enrollment.
