GDP WIN MAX leak
note xbox start select buttons
pastel colors ☁
literal child's play
there's gray too
tldr: some "smart" chargers regonise the pi as audio adapter and wotn charge them due single resistor on 2 cc pins isntead of 1 per each
after note you need "smart" charger AND a fucking E-tier cable to get the bug out
Also will be fixed in next rev
i'll never understand why engineers feel the need to do this
if there's a reference design in a datasheet i'm sure as hell yeeting it
if it works with whats on your desk why wouldnt it work on every conceivable combination of chargers and cables? surely usb c isnt a giant unlabeled mess
im being sarcastic about what might have happened
they like to pull that shit with videogames. sometimes theyll be awful on only amd or require specifically the latest i7 and nvidia meme to get over 60 fps and have to be eventually patched to fix it
no matter how professional someone is, sometimes they goof up
and sometimes enough people goof up in a row for the goofs to reach the consumer
usb c for consumers is a pretty big clusterfuck yes
but for people making the device, no
i don't really see the parallel with videogames
completely different thing
god bless terry
he was too pure for this world
So they can't fix the pi 4 with a bios firmware or something? Lol
its due hardware so no
basicly "smart chargers + smart cable" thinks its audio device if it does not have 2 resistor but only 1 shared resistor
and as raspbi for some reason or other used 1 shared resistor the "smart" chargers regonize it wrong
and shit the bed
it does not matter to any normal charger or etc system
just for the smart chargers
so if you happen to use "smart"charger and/or type-e "smart" usb-c cable it wont work properly ??
Type-e = Electronical Marking/Electronicaly Marked cable what has microship,resistors and larger price tag
what generaly are used only for devices what specialy require some power-modes
standard probly says something about amp-limits or "gen 1 compatitly" bullshit too what considers "EMCA" circuitry etc
people smarter than me can correct me if i have misunderstood any part of that
how does amd fare in the mobile cpu market?
upcoming laptop stuff is not yet in market .. few ryzen desktop replacement laptops aand thats about it
then there are those 2500u/3700U and their brethen what are tolerable but nothing to write home about really
so i5-i7 still dominate right
depends what you need
but usualy its safer bet unless you know your usecase accurately (aka needs those cores/support whatever
