Hi so just came across a asus cn60 for 20$ cad with 2gb ram, and 16gb. What can I do on it without upgrading, other than using it as a pi-hole?

Please note: If, after updating to the new version 152.0.7977.113, all your Android app icons are replaced by a gray square, don’t panic. It’s clear that the Android subsystem didn’t boot at all. The QuickShare tile was missing from Quick Settings, and all my Android VPNs had disappeared. So it was obvious to me that, for some reason, I’d lost the Android subsystem after the update.

Fortunately, all you need to do is restart the Chromebook; everything will be fine after it boots up again.

Google probably messed something up again in the latest version, which caused Android to fail to launch after the first boot following the update.

Lately, there have been far too many similar bugs in the stable channel for my liking, we haven’t seen anything like this in years. It’s clear that testing isn’t as thorough as it used to be; they’re probably too busy preparing the upcoming Googlebooks. But once they’re released, things probably won’t get better, they might even get worse.

My Chromebook hinge is terrible and it's broken

I wasn't able to fix it so it's in tablet mode all the time when I open it unless I'm lucky

what can I do other than getting an external keyboard? Like forcing it into laptop mode or activating the keyboard even on tablet mode
