The OrangePi PC2 has directly wired USB ports for all four ports (3 normal USB, 1 microUSB OTG, same as Opi PC), but as far as everyone says, there is no 10 bit support for the H3 or H5. 8 bit works though :P https://forum.armbia

Yeah, I have a few OrangePi PC2 boards that I built a kernel 4.10-rc6 image for, they seem to work fine (tho no working HDMI in my build) though I need to test them more. I'm planning to use them for a Ceph cluster, with four JMS567 US

Damn, not even a decade of keeping their activation servers online by Autocad for their own software? That is ridiculous, it'd be like Microsoft shutting down their infrastructure for Windows 7 activations today. I feel at a certain po

Eh, that is only part of it, my comments were referring to genuine MicroSD cards, essentially Samsung's Evo cards are made using flash from their semiconductor fabs, and tend to have higher quality over Sandisk and basically all others

I get why both browsers require signed plugins unless you are using the developer branch, on Windows 7 a huge vector of attack was malicious files loading unsigned plugins in Chrome in particular (also saw it in Firefox, but rarer) that wou

They'll ship with a 4.x kernel eventually, but probably not until the specific release is aged :P The main issue with Android devices running a mainline kernel is device drivers, these Qualcomm chips have a board support package which

It will be an exciting jailbreak vector, I'd be surprised if there aren't quite a few vulnerabilities created by allowing shared GPU access.

Yeah, if you look beyond the Raspberry Pi there are quite a few options, just things to keep an eye on are: - MicroUSB for power - limits you to 2A, very bad - Crap/slow eMMC - Look at random I/O as main method of judgment - USB H

DO NOT BUY THAT!!!! Get an OrangePi+ 2e, Xunlong released the OrangePi+ 2 and it has a USB Hub unlike other OrangePis (where you'd have 4x USB ports direct wired into the SOC, each can do 40MB/s) and a few other design compromises

They just launched cloud desktops for about $78 USD a month, but those are Win10 boxes on VMWare with a dedicated AMD FirePro GPU, which is way overkill for most GPU accelerated needs.

It opens the door for a lot of lowend providers to offer cheap GPU compute, since most are on kvm or OpenVZ. Excited for some $30/yr GPU assisted offers over on LowEndTalk :P
162.
by trome 10y ago
Yeah, I wonder how much of an improvement it will be on small, cheap, low I/O devices, any insight if you can prioritize some I/O over other I/O (like user interactive stuff vs Nautilus or cp duplicating a file)?

by trome 10y ago
It is exciting, with virtual GPUs I think we'll see more lowend hosts (like those on LowEndTalk) offer a portion of a GPU for a few bucks a month.

This kernel brings nearly full support (excluding Mali support) for Allwinner H3 based boards, and adds A64 support. I compiled 4.10-rc6 for my OrangePi a few days ago, and HDMI, audio, NAND flash, gigabit, wifi and everything else I tested

Mhmm, and BMW isn't well known as a pinnacle of open, easy to repair cars either. Usually you end up pulling apart the whole front end on your beamer for something that'd take a few minutes to fix/replace on most other cars.

IPFS is a one off though, it has multiple paid developers who can spend their full time rewriting their addons at the drop of a hat. Plus that IPFS addon didn't require deep access to Firefox's internals, which many popular addons

Jeez, how do they still have a positive net worth? Like seriously, obviously their users & user data is worthless, they don't care about it getting stolen, nor do they seem serious about fixing their dilapidated, insecure systems.

Thats the thing though, a "proper" grocery in most HN readers minds is a large supermarket. Most actual groceries aren't sold by chains though, bodegas, corner delis, green grocers, and an assortment of Asian, Mexican and oth

Windows 7 has less than 3 years of life left on it before Microsoft stops doing security patches. At that point the OS's vulnerabilities will never be patched, and no one will be able to maintain it, akin to XP, and in April we'll

Exactly, I don't get why people are downvoting you. Egg quality in the US is terrible, instead of culling salmonella infected flocks, we wash away the protective coating of the egg and potentially spread the salmonella into the egg its

The USDA's Food Desert definition is total bullshit, for example, you could drop me nearly anywhere in Tukwila, WA and I could be in a large grocery store within 10 minutes of walking. If we include smaller stores, I can be in a store

The southeast could definitely have a dearth of hospitals (I think everyone should live near a hospital within a few minutes of them, esp. with San Francisco traffic), but Tenderloin has a grocery store (with fresh veggies, eggs, milk, etc)

What are you talking about? East of 4th in SoMa I count 7 grocery stores, and if your unwilling to shop at anything sub-70k sqft, there are two. Most of the neighborhood east of 4th is within 1 to 2 blocks of a grocery store (with eggs, fre
