PINE64 Reviews and details

• Enclosures for Quartz64 Model A?

  I'm having a hard time finding enclosures for the Model A. Those on pine64.org seem to be out of stock every time I look. What is everyone else using? Source: 3 months ago

• Brand new Pinebook Pro bricked

  If all else fails, there are instructions on pine64.org to force booting from sd card. I've never had to do this, despite breaking the software on my PBP quite a few times. Source: 10 months ago

• Looking for a pi? Tired of waiting? Here's an alternative I found

  Raspberry Pi's OS support and updates are _miles_ ahead of any of the alternatives I've used. I have a pile of C.H.I.P boards from back when I needed a dozen for a project and getting that many RasPis was impossible. They still work, but only if I'm happy with the linux version they shipped with. I have a couple of Rock64s from pine64.org (and a laptop and a pine phone) and they're better then the CHIP with...

• Laptop for less than $200 USD?

  You could also look into using a pinebook at pine64.org (not an exact link). Source: about 1 year ago

• egg_irl

  There are community projects of making true Linux smartphones. Most notable IMO is Pine64's PinePhone Pro, which I could easily spend at least half a speech hour just introducing you to it, probably the most Linux related hardware hype I have is here, next to the Steam Deck.

• Did I Just Get Scammed?

  I paid for the Pinephone Pro on what I thought was pine64.org. I accidentally paid on pine64.com. Is this a well-known mistake? Source: over 1 year ago

• Just got my pinephone and already fucked it up.

  Many people have reported this, in the pine64.org forum. What's worse is that they are using the same sockets for SIM and SD in the Pinephone Pro. This was their chance to fix a problem that has prevented people from using it as a *phone*. I support Pine64. I fixed my broken contacts with solder so that I wouldn't cost the company a replacement. But, come on, you're making a new phone, fix this very serious design... Source: over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Do you use Purism, PinePhone, or Fairphone?

  Yes. I have two PinePhones, a 2GB/16GB, and a 3GB/32GB. I do not regret my purchase at all. I have a handful of SD cards with various operating systems on, and Full Disk Encrypted eMMC installs. The blog on http://pine64.org has lots of information about it. There are issues. Modem drops out sometimes, there aren't enough programs (not apps, these are full desktop Linux programs compiled for aarch64) that work... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Just got my PinePhone - what is the default PIN?

  I tried 1234 and 123456 and am not able to get in. PIN is only 3 characters so I can't search for it on the forums on pine64.org and I'm not finding it in any of the docs that shipped with the phone. Source: about 2 years ago

• The Raspberry Pi can boot off NVMe SSDs now
