Hello,

I used my Bosch Bohrschrauber (it means you can drill and put in screws with it. There is no english word for it, I think) to put the screws in my Pinebook Pro.
Despite being set to the lowest setting of resistance it managed to damage three screws. I tried with various methods to get the screws off and now I have three screws
with their heads broken off which are stuck in the body of the Pinebook. Any suggestions how to remove them? 

The Screws, btw, are one off the things which annoy me most about my Pinebook. They are small, there are to many of them and they break off too easily as demonstrated above. This is a computer for people who open it a lot compared to the standard laptop user. I imagine some really solid solution which one could open
without tools and which could be repaired by any village smith. (I thinking of a AK-47 of laptop cases). The case looks really nice, but I would prefer solid to good looking.

Yours sincerely
Stefan

Just curious if there is any info, drawings, mockups etc... for Pine Tab while I'm Jonesing for my pre-order to ship when I can start obsessing on the package's progress via Tracking data.

Last month I took delivery of my Pinebook Pro and have been loving playing with it and tinkering and I have been looking at the clusterboard and wondering what projects/containers etc people have been using them for.

I am studying computer science in university and have been debating on adding one to my rack to get into arm clusters/clusters in general.

Has anyone attempted to fit the cluster board in a 1/2u enclosure?

I am unable to get Netflix to work on either Chromium or Firefox.  
Running Manjaro KDE
I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Chromium and Firefox and chromium-docker.
I have been unable to install widevine and it does not show up as a component of Chromium.
Would like a straight forward solution.
Should I change OS and if yes, which one?

This was just posted by @sigmaris on IRC.

Greetings,

This question is embarrassing, because maybe I've missed something obvious.

How does one navigate "backwards" on UBports? I'm used to the back key on Android either suspending the program or moving "back" a pane.

What would the equivalent gesture or button be on UBports to suspend the current task and get back to the desktop screen?

Thanks.

My PinePhone arrived today, it's a UBPorts edition.

While I had to wait quite a while to resolve an issue with customs, I'm glad to say it's finally arrived. I've been playing with it this morning. Setup was a breeze and the OS seems stable so far! I can say it was worth the wait, I'm eagerly anticipating to see where this project goes.

Three cheers to the team for all their effort to make this happen. It's no small achievement, given the turmoil that none of us could foresee.

If I can find the time and opportunities, I hope to offer some testing or even features to one of these OSes. I have some development knowledge, and now something in front of me that would directly benefit from the effort.

For its first task, I'm going to find myself a USB-C host adapter and see if I can connect a keyboard and use it as a ssh terminal! Pocket VIM was all I really wanted.

Yesterday I noticed that my micro SD card slot does not hold the micro SD card inside. When I insert the card, it does not stay inside and it is ejected outside. Seems like some holding mechanism is broken. What to do now? I do not need SD card now, but what if I wanted to boot another OS?

Hi,

I dont know if someone will found that usefull, but you can at least emulate the hardware to run for example manjaro ARM on serial console.
Don't expect to have graphics or sound. At least not for now because this is not implemented in qemu, and I suppose it would require too much work to code it.

This can be helpfull if you want to play with kernel code without messing up with your pinephone.

So if you want to do that, here is my qemu repo: https://github.com/abdel-unxp/qemu (work in progress. not yet in official qemu).
