Re: "Does anyone on this BBS use a Chromebook?"
See, that's the thing though. Chromebooks *are* still useful on into eternity, they just may be useful for different purposes. Mine that I use every single day is 10 years old and still runs Linux and streams YouTube just fine.
If a Chromebook becomes so old that it's no longer good for video streaming, then it can become part of edge compute on my network. Chromebooks tend to be built on very efficient hardware, but they still have more horsepower than the old Raspberry Pi Zero that I have my webhosting on.
It can monitor some sensors to check the weather. It can just be a display for some data. When its battery dies, then remove it. I never let my computers retire. :)

I still use one when I am on the road. I SSH into my boxes and do nearly everything on cli/tui :)
