That's not fair, it's operable

2016-10-14 03:57:55 UTC  

Thanks to one dude named longsleep

2016-10-14 03:58:05 UTC  

Who compiled a working kernel

2016-10-14 03:58:27 UTC  

But he's pretty much given up on hardware video acceleration

2016-10-14 03:58:48 UTC  

So it works great as a headless server

2016-10-14 03:59:07 UTC  

But no usb3.0 so I can't use it for that

2016-10-14 03:59:58 UTC  

So maybe like a VPN or a firewall

2016-10-14 04:00:13 UTC  

But raspi does that just as well

2016-10-14 04:00:45 UTC  

yeah i mean it's like we can spend $20-40 for one of these neato arm dev boards but a j3160 is like what $80 and justworks

2016-10-14 04:00:45 UTC  

Basically pine64 got chinked

2016-10-14 04:01:20 UTC  

There's always some new one that gets me worked up lol

2016-10-14 04:01:29 UTC  

it's hillarious that intel seems like they're winding their efforts down with what their pulling out of tablet/mobile

2016-10-14 04:01:43 UTC  

But ya I think I might give up on an ARM media center

2016-10-14 04:01:47 UTC  

but if they got their stupid shit together they could capitalize on all this ARM fragmentation

2016-10-14 04:02:23 UTC  

Tbh atom always had the best performance/$$$

2016-10-14 04:02:33 UTC  

Arm was always the one that didn't use any power while idle

2016-10-14 04:02:34 UTC  

yea it seems hopeless in the face of hevc/vp9 decoding and pointless when a atom can do it without breaking a sweat

2016-10-14 04:03:04 UTC  

45W TDP vs 6.5W TDP is a thing but 6.5W vs 2W is kinda like "idk lol"

2016-10-14 04:03:52 UTC  

sorry it sounds like i'm talking myself out of buying armstuff but i have a small army of rpis already and they're running BIND lol

2016-10-14 04:04:03 UTC  

literally used to test saltstack

2016-10-14 04:04:26 UTC  

lol ya I mean ARM has a place

2016-10-14 04:04:28 UTC  

piHole

2016-10-14 04:04:32 UTC  

for one

2016-10-14 04:04:50 UTC  

or actual dev

2016-10-14 04:04:59 UTC  

where u need gpio pins

2016-10-14 04:05:05 UTC  

ya ya for sure

2016-10-14 04:05:21 UTC  

I'm so tempted to buy the Google Pixel

2016-10-14 04:05:22 UTC  

SOMEDAY I'LL DO SOME HW HACKERY - kek

2016-10-14 04:05:31 UTC  

it's a pretty machine

2016-10-14 04:05:42 UTC  

@vladz~<3 really? I thought the consensus was that it sucked butts

2016-10-14 04:05:52 UTC  

I'm off buying phones for a while so I hadn't looked at it at all

2016-10-14 04:06:28 UTC  

i have a nice long laundry list of things i'd rather spend my money on, but if you can get someone else to pay for it (an employer or something), it's a nice, pretty toy

2016-10-14 04:06:58 UTC  

oh fuck i'm still mentally associating pixel with their chromebook

2016-10-14 04:07:05 UTC  

idk lol that phone

2016-10-14 04:07:08 UTC  

seems like a trap

2016-10-14 04:07:19 UTC  

like a bad piece of reference hardware

2016-10-14 04:09:02 UTC  

i'd be interested in a pixel-lite for fi.google.com

2016-10-14 04:20:46 UTC  

damn pixel actually looks kinda dece

2016-10-14 04:20:55 UTC
