If you could use the USB as a network interface, then it becomes very interesting. Plug it into a computer and you have a wifi router.
Erm. How is that different from connecting a normal cheap wifi USB card and using that computer to route besides the fact that the computer is probably much faster at routing than some card reader?
Well, you could probably replace the SSD. At least on the 9333 model (aka late 2013 model) it's very easy. It's a standard mSATA SSD and it's quite easily accessible. Just some torx screws on the bottom and then a phillips screw that holds the SSD.
The question is if it does make an electric noise like the 2013 model did.

Otherwise I think even the 2013 model is a good laptop and runs Linux great. I own one of those and it makes that noise but it's not that bad. It's just that 1k5€ laptop shouldn't have such issues.
There is no point in DST in Finland. Maybe in middle Europe it is a bit bigger deal but here in north it's useless. Our summer is so bright that the change of timezone doesn't make a difference really. It might be nice for a week or too, but the days get longer so quickly that it really doesn't change much. If I decided we wouldn't have a DST here, it's just an annoyance when we must change clocks twice a year. I'd love to have UTC+2 all year round.

I'd prefer hexadecimal. These binary numbers are way too long for user IDs and comment numers.

Linux? On an Arduino?
Linux on AVR has already been done. http://dangerousprototypes.com...
Then again there are Arduinos with ARM and x86 processors so porting Linux to them is not that big deal. But it is not and won't be a Linux desktop.

Works great in Internet Explorer!
That's not really a compliment.

I was always torn on buying NVIDIA or not.
Well, this is hardly a reason to buy AMD hardware instead. They already ship the firmware blobs with radeon driver.
I'm not sure if I will ever swim in the ocean. In a sea maybe and in a lake for sure.
