- ThePhysicist 10y agoI think handling worldwide shipping would be difficult for them, as they usually only sell downloadable content. They could of course provide a voucher, though it could be difficult finding a suitable vendor. Otherwise I agree.

- squarefoot 10y agoI would rather pay more to get an OrangePI, NanoPI or even better, pay a lot more and get an Odroid C2. The RPi Zero is nothing more than a marketing gimmick. These ebook offers are truly interesting, but unless technology advancement gives us an useable e-ink reader that doesn't die trying to deal with books containing high res schematics or graphs, I'm still going with the dead tree versions.
- maweki 10y agoThe allwinner CPUs have atrocious thermal properties and are iffy on power usage. The raspberries (other than zero) run on anything, but too little power and they corrupt your sd card. The pi-zero runs on a potato and is a great ad-blocking DNS server for my home network.
- bostand 10y agoFirst time I hear that. Are these problems documented agree anywhere?
- squarefoot 10y ago"The allwinner CPUs have atrocious thermal properties and are iffy on power usage." This was due to wrong CPU thermal throttling values set by the boards manufacturers in the OS images they provide and is already fixed in Armbian, which IMO is the best distro out there for a lot of boards.
