I wish Pine would make 1 finished consumer product instead of 10 things no average person should even consider buying.

- kayodelycaon 5y agoI'd argue that anyone wanting a fully open source anything isn't an average person. If you want something finished and mostly open, a reMarkable tablet already works. If you want something with android and are okay with GPL being completely ignored, let me point you towards Boox.
- paulcole 5y agoWith good consumer products, it doesn't matter if they're open source or not to the average person. I guess Pine is fine being in the semi-useless and unfinished products business.
- infinite8s 5y agoI don't think you are their target customer. Which is fine, as the GP pointed out there are other products that would probably fit you better.
- foxfluff 5y agoWhy not buy from brands that make consumer products? To me, Pine products are for hackers & makers. I've three pinecils, both pinepowers, a couple "woodpecker" serial dongles, and some related accessories. Everything I've bought has worked great and been worth every cent. I wish they keep doing exactly the kinds of things they've been doing.
