In 2012, the embedded Linux market lost a valued resource when LinuxDevices.com became a collateral casualty of QuinStreet’s acquisition of a group of websites from Ziff Davis Enterprise. Unfortunately the new owner had no interest in supporting the site, so LinuxDevices has lain dormant ever since the acquisition. As the year wore on, a growing number of individuals and companies urged me (as the site’s founder) to do something to get LinuxDevices back on its feet, or to launch a new site to fill the void.

It's good to see linux Devices back in a different form
It is, good job Rick Lehrbaum! Quinstreet is a dreadful, horrible awful company, an SEO-gaming clickbait empire. Oh, and they're icky too. They killed Internet.com, and pretty much everything they touch turns to muck.
I've missed LinuxDevices. It's nice to see a successor.
This is good news. Hopefully the most interesting articles from the new site will show up on the newswire.
Count on it Caitlyn. :-)
Aha! Scott Ruecker is actually Rick Lehrbaum!

Admit it, Scott. Nobody has ever seen both of you in the same room. How many other characters do you have in your kabuki repertoire?
I have no idea what your talking about..;-)
I'm Rick Lehrbaum too!
Oh, we are all Rick Lehrbaum, a.k.a. Spartacus?
Kilroy was here, too.
I'm not Rick Lehrbaum but I've still got my Little Board 1A. Close enough.
Little Board 1A! That's gotta be a collector's item at this point. I have a couple of the prototypes in my basement
@tc: How can you disrespect something so holey? (seen on HackerNews:) A confirmed security vulnerability in 30 web sites (seclists.org)

@dg: It's not collectable if it's hacked (to add more RS-232 signals IIRC), but a much-valued part of my education nonetheless, back when computers came with schematics; I even did some MIDI multitracking with it. LXer reminds me a little of the old Ampro1 BBS community.
