Hey all I listed my pinetab 2 for sale. I don't really have a use for it at the moment as I purchased a better linux tablet. So if anyone is interested for the sake of avoiding tariff imports or maybe just wants the second one.

I'm curious if the PineNote on the official Pine Store the 2nd edition that we have been waiting for or is this identical to the first release?

Can anybody suggest an enclosure for the Star64 SBC ? The only one they list as compatible on the Pine64 store is the acrylic enclosure but that won't work if one wants to use the M.2 PCI-E card which I do. I think the ROCKPro64 Premium Aluminum Casing will fit well enough by looking at how the ports would line up but it would be nice to get more info before ordering.

I they have had radio silence for months and the website hasn't changed much. I wonder if there is trouble.

It doesn't seem to have recovered since January

Happy to report that the Wifi on the Pinetab 2 now works. Still early days but I am using it for a few hours now and it works.

So I have been using the pinetab 2 for about 6 months or so on and off. Mostly off to be honest. My final thoughts are that I can't really recommend this device to basically anyone. Even as a power user and someone that does software development I can say this device is a slog.

Cons: In terms of raw computing power this device is slow even with 8 GB of ram. Programs take a long time to start Once they do launch they are mostly fine however video playback in most modern browsers is terrible and stutters. You can actually get DRM playback to work if you are willing to put in 3 + hours to get widevine installed from AUR and modify your user agent. However it's not really worth it because the actual playback is awful.

It seems as though Wifi is never going to work. From what I have read there is practically no one working on the driver and it seems like the driver is so complex to do that with the community size it's basically a non-starter. So essentially this means you will always ne

Struggling a bit to get any wi-fi network to show up through Ubuntu Touch on the Pinetab2. Am I missing something?

Wi-Fi is toggled on and flight mode is off.

Its out of stock right now and the Quartz64 is a bit underpowered

I bought a Pinephone out of curiosity and while it has been fun to play with, I am looking to repurpose it to something else. Has anyone found a good use for it, maybe incorporated into a smart home setup or something along those lines?

Still a lot of unfinished styling/animations, and several apps can't yet utilize the OSK, but so far I'm liking this GNOME far better than vanilla on the PT2. Installed on Danctnix via gnome-mobile-shell from the AUR.

Has anyone had any luck building a NAS with a PCIE adapter giving 4 SATA interfaces? I want to move away from my Synology box in favor of the Pine64 solution, but the guides I'm reading all talk about a dual-PCIE-SATA card.

I've heard software RAID is the way to go. My initial plan is 4x8TB with RAID 5. That's what I'm using in my Synology currently.

I purchased a PBP not long ago to replace my Acer Aspire 5742Z (~2010). Thought to share my use case and impressions to give others who are still on the fence after all these years a sense of how it holds up in 2023.

Use case: Email, web-browsing, videos, text-editing.

Setup: I am using the pre-installed GNU/Linux distro (Manjaro) but have swapped the Plasma DE for X Display Manager (XDM) and the Calm Window Manager (cwm). I've also gutted a few of the systemd services like resolved, homed, firewalld, etc. I like DEs and feel like this machine would do better with a lighter environment. (It does!)

Opinion: I was worried coming over from x86 that lots of things I use would not be available with aarch64. There are definitely warez out there that won't easily port over, but I haven't run into any road blocks yet.

What I notice the most is that the PBP does exhibit more screen tearing than the 2010 Acer. F

Hello all,

I just realize my PineTime connector have some quality problem and gets wearied.

Is anyone having same problem? Can I fix it?

So I got my pinetab2 a few weeks ago. I am going to leave aside for a moment the absolute hell it was to get this thing. How it arrived broken and how I had to argue with support for a week to get a replacement. Now that I have it and have been playing around I must say it's sorta decent.

1. If you can't stand the thought of using a usb wifi dongle use ubuntu touch. Ubuntu touch has the ability to enable the internal wifi and in my testing it was stable so if you just can't stomach the idea of a dongle that is your best bet.
2. If you need bluetooth you are SOL at the moment
3. if you want to watch DRM protected streams it technically dooable but not advisable. this is because to do it you need to install widevine and in my experience it takes like 5 hours to install and I never got to install it because I didn't hit yes to a prompt in time and so I wasted like 5 hours.

So what is this tablet like to use on a day to day basis. First Issue is that this tablet has no sleep or stan

Reddit has a small pinetime community, let's make it bigger on here!

I recently got my PineTime, and so far it's a very cool gadget, especially for the price. However, it is giving me every notification twice. Anyone know if there's a way to fix this? Currently running Infinitime 1.13.0 connected to an Android phone via GadgetBridge. It is only happening with some notifications... But so far I'm not seeing why some do and some don't duplicate.
