You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I've named these puppies everywhere I can enter it in.

Does that include www.google.com/android/devicemanager ?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm pretty sure I've never entered any information in there. How would one device be named, then?

Well, I haven't named my three Android devices, so they showed as their default product names. I edited "Thrive" to "dcpThrive" and then went to play.google.com and picked an app (SwiftKey was the first suggestion). At the beginning of the line that tells me the app is compatible with all my devices, I clicked on the green info icon. A list of my devices dropped down, including"dcpThrive."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

When I drop down the list in Play, I get three devices, one named by me. When I look in Device Manager, which I've never been in before (nor granted location permission until now), it shows me four devices, one named.

I'm assuming that after my devices got associated to that email address the name was propagated to both applications, but I certainly didn't set the name there.

There are "modbooks" out there that remove the mac keyboard and replace the screen with a touchscreen. I have no idea how well they work. Presumalby you add a blu-ray keyboard if yo wish.

What is a blu ray keyboard?

Bluetooth. Sorry don't use then so don't necessarily remember the name.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Note: I do not have a device name option in Settings/About

When I go to Settings in the Play store, I see a list of my devices and "Edit" buttons next to each one. When I click the Edit button, the names become editable.
