Thanks to one dude named longsleep
Who compiled a working kernel
But he's pretty much given up on hardware video acceleration
So it works great as a headless server
But no usb3.0 so I can't use it for that
So maybe like a VPN or a firewall
But raspi does that just as well
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
Basically pine64 got chinked
There's always some new one that gets me worked up lol
it's hillarious that intel seems like they're winding their efforts down with what their pulling out of tablet/mobile
But ya I think I might give up on an ARM media center
but if they got their stupid shit together they could capitalize on all this ARM fragmentation
Tbh atom always had the best performance/$$$
Arm was always the one that didn't use any power while idle
yea it seems hopeless in the face of hevc/vp9 decoding and pointless when a atom can do it without breaking a sweat
45W TDP vs 6.5W TDP is a thing but 6.5W vs 2W is kinda like "idk lol"
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
literally used to test saltstack
lol ya I mean ARM has a place
for one
or actual dev
where u need gpio pins
ya ya for sure
I'm so tempted to buy the Google Pixel
SOMEDAY I'LL DO SOME HW HACKERY - kek
it's a pretty machine
I'm off buying phones for a while so I hadn't looked at it at all
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
oh fuck i'm still mentally associating pixel with their chromebook
idk lol that phone
seems like a trap
like a bad piece of reference hardware
i'd be interested in a pixel-lite for fi.google.com
damn pixel actually looks kinda dece
why was everyone hating on it lol
it looks graet
and im already a project fi member
ya look bretty gruel
