Still seeing wifi disconnect issues. It seems that hulu will give the black box when the gpu stuff is enabled in about:flags. Another trick that has worked for me with sound is using Shift+Esc then killing flash.

It may be my imagination but the trackpad seems to be behaving better.

Can see SD card now (on dev channel); can play music and view photos; still trying to find what video file it will play.

Many browser sad face crashes, but fewer wireless dropouts from my DIR-655

Actually started far earlier as an abbreviation of 'Oll Korrect'. Low litteracy and non-standard education amongst the working classes meant these sort of things happened. There were other phrases that had similar abbreviations, but those i don't know much of.

I have switched over to developer mode. I found a post How to disable screen dim in Google CR-48 | NW Linux on how to disable the screen dim. It mentions to CTRL + ALT + -> and you will find a you will get into Virtual Terminal 2. I then followed the instructions to change the chronos password by logging in as root and typing:

echo "chronos:$(openssl passwd -1)" > /mnt/stateful_partition/etc/devmode.passwd

The problem is I am a noob and just type the above into the command line as is but I think that I mistakenly put a ? instead of a $ and now I cannot login to root or chronos. Does anyone have any information that could help me? Thanks.

It was actually from a fad of purposely abbreviating things incorrectly in the 1830-40s. Apparently, people back then were easily amused.

Of course, we have Katie Perry and Kanye West, so our generation's not one to talk.

Sweet, finally got the dev channel update. I will have to test the new GPU acceleration cause thats awesome.

.....and done. It definitely works. First, disable both of them in about:flags, run the test here:
Hardware Acceleration Stress Test.

Then re-enable them and re-run the test. Went from 6 fps to 20 fps. Sweet!

Edit to add: Make sure you restart chrome whenever you change flags options else they won't be in effect (theres a button on that screen)

I fixed the issue by switching the DEV switch back to normal and then back to DEV. Guess I will look up the correct way to change the password next time

i'm glad the Chrome browser was finally updated to latest dev.
