My son has a sealed PineTime watch with PineTime version 1.5 software installed. He wants to upgrade the software, but we can no longer connect to the watch with Siglo. I suspect that the bluetooth is no longer working.

So I can connect to another PineTime watch on the same computer, but not this watch. I don't believe there is any other way to connect, for example using the USB charge adapter to connect to the laptop USB port doesn't seem to be a viable way to communicate with the watch.

If the bluetooth stops working, is there any practical way to save this watch? It is set to 1970, and my son has installed a version of the software (1.5) that doesn't appear to support updating the time.

He has autism and is love with the PineTime watch. He spends endless hours upgrading and downgrading the software on it, because he wants to experience every version number. I guess the watch has been loved to death.

Any advice is apprciated.

Hi,

I followed the instructions on https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PineTab2_Releases and https://github.com/Kwiboo/u-boot-build#s...mmc-module to install Mobian. But the pinetab2 doesn't boot from the prepared SD card. The screen stays black.

What I did:

Hi,
i was trying to explore if i could add some new widgets to the desktop looking for something i could use.
So i did right click on the panel--> add widgets-->get new widgets-->download new plasma widgets
When i do that i get a popup window with an error that reads:
"loading of providers from file: https://autoconfig.kde.org/ocs/providers.xml failed"

Is this something happening only to me?
Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks!

Hello,

For the past few weeks, I've been trying to theorise a setup for a NAS around a Quartz64 A SBC, and would like to get some feedback!

I'd like to run a 2×4TB hard drive configuration (with data replication), mostly for a Nextcloud home server.
I'm thinking of getting the PCIe to SATA III card, and powering the drives directly from the board with the power cable for dual SATA drives. To have enough power for all this, I'd use the 12v5a power supply.

I was somewhat inspired by this blog post and would like to know if anyone has done anything similar…? I went for another setup for powering the drives, suggested on the Quartz64 matrix channel, because I don't have a PC power supply laying around, so that set up would be a lot more expensive for me.

I'm not yet sure if I'd go with the 4 or 8 GB model for the Quartz64, so I'd appreciate feedback on that too, if you have a Nextcloud server!

Thanks to anyone for their help or input! I haven't bought anything yet, so I'm open to any suggestion on how to improve this setup


PS: I am from the EU; does anyone know how import stuff works? I've never ordered anything from overseas, is there a way I can figure out an estimate of how much import duties I'll have to pay?

Hi all,

Few times the screen stay black when i short pressed power key.

The first situation let thinking about SWAP problem.

It's been at least a week since I've seen any Mobian updates. Just tried again, but there's still nothing.

I searched for a while before finding this information, so I thought I'd post it for others incase they're looking for the same information.

I noticed that the Orange Pi 5 is using the RK3588 and it is benchmarking nicely:

Is there going to be a Pinebook Pro based on this faster chip?

The current RK3399 is only slightly faster than the Raspberry Pi's CPU.

Also, without HDMI output the laptop is less useful than a regular laptop.
