Your being a bit presumptuous there, in most Western countries they'd be able to block VK and other non-local sites without protests in the streets, and if they occured you'd see a significant portion of the country (esp. in the U

The BBC should be much more careful with their operational security, especially in volatile situations like this. Why weren't they establishing a secure communication channel with the person they were meeting with beforehand, livestrea

The real value in commuter rail is pulling drivers off the road so traffic doesn't degrade further. A 30 mile alignment though isn't very extensive, and ridership is unsuprising considering the 3+ mile station spacing, hour long h

Its a common strategy, hence why women of childbearing age, people who are 40+ and anyone with any kind of visible handicap or difference are so commonly discriminated against. They'd rather a handcuffed worker than one who has free wi

Classy manager, did he give a specific reason? After 6 weeks nonstop I'd probably do the same as you, no need to kill myself for a company.

Yeah, not too surprising Capital One has a poor internal culture, they do a ton of creative accounting, to the point that they were able to outmanuver American Express on the Costco relationship. That being said, I really hate my Costco Cap

So why do I have to call you to get pricing info for the lists you offer? Also, the pricing you do provide is unintuitive, like what does Up to "5,000: $180.00/M" mean? Why are you charging to digitally deliver the lists eith

This is prompting me to request access to the Google Drive file. Perhaps host it on something besides Google Drive/Docs?

And those kids who couldn't care less probably have never used Linux or a single board computer.

Yeah, its just a voltage/clockspeed setting that was easily remedied in software.

Yeah, I'd just buy it from Xunlong off Aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1553371 The OrangePi PC Plus is pretty good with the onboard eMMC and Wifi, its worth the extra $7.

O_o Well, I really don't know what to say to you, if your ever in Seattle gimme a holler and I'll introduce you to a room full of kids who are not fans of low quality, closed software.

Uhh, when you actually talk to Allwinner, they are generally pretty helpful unless its not their IP to give. I've emailed Tyle at Allwinner in the past to clear up some chunks of code in the kernel 3.4 BSP, and I found most of the time

Eh, it seems like the Raspberry Pi Foundation has strayed from an org that started out building SBCs so kids could have a computer to tinker on, and are now entirely focused on being Broadcom's PR and Sales engine. The system on a modu

What? You definitely don't need to remove any resistors onboard. Edit: Guess I'm just unfamiliar wrt POE, since I usually use 5v frankenPOE on these boards.

by trome 10y ago
I don't see Broadcom supporting their chips very well with the Raspberry Pi, you basically can't use most of the boards functionality on Debian without adding a bunch of blobs. Wrt community, linux-sunxi and Armbian are both in be

by trome 10y ago
Clarified, sorry about that! I generally just put a blob of solder on the pads to bridge them, then I get frankenPOE at 5v.

Yeah, data corruption is a big issue with the Pis, and definitely not something you want on a Point of Sale.

So, how is the competitive with Xunlong and FriendlyARM making the OrangePi Zero and the Nanopi Neo? It seems to have less I/O and still not have a libre stack, unlike the Allwinner H3. Is the Raspberry Pi Foundation just coasting on b

Why would I buy the Raspberry Pi Zero instead of an OrangePi PC ($15) or an OrangePi Zero ($8.99)? With the latter, I can actually use an M.2 SSD with the HATs available for it, and I'll get 40MB/s unlike the Raspi's 4 to 5MB

IIRC the E-Rate program is a high double digit by percentage subsidy, such that Wireless ISPs will lose business by not having an E-Rate certification because the school will just stick with polky, 6mbps DSL for their 200+ kids at a rural s

Uhh, what do you do for sites that don't offer HTTP? Many sites force a 301 redirect when hit on HTTP, and won't downgrade.

Much faster than a Raspberry Pi 3, I can tell the difference between the two running the same software attached to a large touchscreen. I've got a few dozen OrangePi PC boards going on over a year of being deployed, no issues with any

If you get an OrangePi 2e ($35) or an OrangePi PC2 ($20) both have gigabit that performs well, you could easily push 4k reliably from either. They also have libre VPU support so you can playback 4k content if you plug in an HDMI cable.

Not really, you can run unmodified Debian on either of those boards, same for Arch & most other distros. The chip in the Zero will never be able to do that since its ARMv6, plus your paying a premium for it. My last experience with a Ra
