knownick: SPI flash vs brick discussed here knownick: software support not as good as actual Raspberry Pi knownick: I guess that's called getting eaten in the marketplace. knownick: they have a version without onboard rf networking knownick: (subject to availabilty ... i see some of these at least, right now) knownick: I have no idea whether this manufacturer is more or less trustworthy than Raspberry. At least Raspberry have the claim of being a non-profit foundation, reasonably close to the designer of the ARM CPU, which in turn is originally based in a project by an independent, publicly funded, regulated authority (the BBC). knownick: On the other hand, these people seem to know what they are doing. Caveat emptor. knownick: They make products to use with the Raspberry as well, which seems a good indication they are not simply trying to destroy the market sector so that some other monopolistic company can reassert dominance. :-\ knownick: actual available version includes soldered SPI flash (predictably) knownick: almost-but-not-quite-bait-and-switch is doing my head in. All vendors. knownick: <all vendors> Oh. Did we only just make a few of those, and then change the spec substantially with the bulk of our manufacturing run? knownick: <all vendors> sort of, after we got rave reviews from the techie geek crowd? then we just herded the majority of sheeply people right straight darn onto that train to nowhere. MUHAHAHAHAHA. knownick: <me> My fucking OS crashed AGAIN. Thanks google for a great browser (not). knownick: <youall> yawn. knownick: <Hitler II> dumty dumty dumty dum (sneakin) knownick: <youall> Yawn. Where's popcorn? knownick: Hitler II is gonna be an AI. I already saw the movie. knownick: If I wanted all these headaches, I would still just buy a nice laptop with on-site extended global warranty. knownick: If I wanted to learn how to make computers my fucking self, I would just go to university and study electronic engineering, then put these clowns out of fucking business, employ them, give them shit jobs, and screw their wives and daughters. knownick: If you didn't learn anything here today, I will refund your money. knownick: If you wrote a pandering review of anything in the last 18 years, hand your head in shame and quake in fear, we will find you. knownick: And you will never write for me. Ever. knownick: Anything. Not my funeral notice. Nothing. knownick: Pass it on. knownick: * creeping knownick: watching knownick: watching creeping creeping watching
