Just a little longer till full charge. Also still loving the #pine64 charger, what was it called, the #PinePower ? Anyway perfect desk charger. Going to be the jedi this time (silver shaft). May the force be with you all
Finally a #convergence solution to my likings and needs. A pocketable machine that runs the OS I want ( #iusearchbtw ), looks how I want ( #sway#waybar#sxmo ), and does what I need (Citrix for work, Spotify on the web, and phone things).
Wrote a blog post about the first two months of my #pinephone Pro usage as a PDA and how I got around solving some initial hardware problems (spoiler: read the manual, then asked the support team).
I'm looking for a not-very-expensive tablet to use as a "feature-rich reader".
Requirements:
Cheaper than iPad
Bloat-free and updatable
9"-10"
So vendor android is unacceptable, iPad is too expensive, and I ended up with something from aliexpress with #lineageos support, but it seems that the only actual device is Pixel Tablet, which is rather expensive and I don't need such a screen, camera, and all.
So now I'm really thinking about #pinetab from #pine64 with waydroid.
Long awaited community update is here! Introducing PineVox and bone conduction headset (help us find a name!), IronOS progress, PineNote insights, and PineTime news! We also cover cluster failure, state of services, and the future of the community updates. See you in the upcoming Q&A! https://pine64.org/2024/03/17/march-update-making-waves/
@PINE64
These updates where once driver of a prosperous community. Now they only come when new poducts are announced?
I think #pine64 should focus more on supporting development for their existing line-up than developing new niche devices. Or they will face the same fate as the many existing unsuccessful products!
What has become of the DevZone? It could really help overcome hampers in dev. which would have great impact on maturity, comunity and trust!
+In the end sales and thus finance itself
Decided to give the #Pinephone a try. Ordered one off #pine64 and am super excited to give Linux another go on the phone. Last time I used a Linux phone, sailfish was a fresh new product and Ubuntu touch had just come out of initial development.
I've been running NetBSD10_RC for months on my RockPro64 and only recently learned about using
/usr/sbin/schedctl -A 4,5
to force a process to use the faster CPUs. Hopefully this improves a daily ffmpeg job I have. #NetBSD#RockPro64#pine64
however, have you seen the prices from those 3 first ones mentioned? it's going to be pinebook or (more probable yet) a discarded/used but still good laptop i find on #kijiji for 100$ and stuff it with memory and ssd's if possible.
I had ordered a #PineTime late october from the Pine 64 website. It came in France mid-November. I paid taxes online (I first checked if it was the real website of laposte). But never received it. Both local carrier (#LaPoste) and Pine Microsystems advise me to check with the other one...
Any advice? :shibacry:
One thing that really worries me is if the firmware can be accepted into linux-firmware this way ("extracted from array in vendor driver files marked as GPL-2"), and if the driver could be accepted upstream (later, when it supports at least station mode) if not. Reading the README of the linux-firmware repository gives me doubts at least.
Does anyone know how that works? Or even better, has a contact at #Realtek who could see about getting the firmware released directly? Or at least at #Pine64 or some other Realtek customer who could poke them?
What are some interesting communities on Matrix worth checking out?
