    I think that this would be a security nightmare and would require a massive redesign for session cookies.

    If anything they should be trying to lock cookies and sites assorted data to the specific device used to log in.

    At the moment it is very easy for a criminal (once they have gained access) to nab your browser’s entire profile and load it up on their computer giving them access to everything logged in on that profile.

    What you are suggesting is something that would make the criminals jobs easier .

















  • I have had several distros working on the X205TA (I even had a how to guide written up on reddit years ago).

    But I was not able to get a usable system (i.e. being able to use the system without waiting on average 20-120 sec for the device to process an action).

    Life has gotten to the point that the effort to do so is better directed into activities that I would enjoy.

    To be brutally honest about this, your best bet is to recycle the unit.

    The problems of trying to get a distro to install properly, have all the hardware working right and have a usable experience are not worth the minimal upsides.

    I have an ASUS X205TA which is a similar unit and after trying for countless hours to get a usable device out of it was not going to be worth the headaches plus if I was getting paid for the time I spent on it I could have brought an off lease laptop with better specs.
