Anyone looking to sell one in the US?

i was messing with gitpod (https://gitpod.io) that provides a free hosting of theia for open-source projects (Theia is Online IDE) and i came up with this:

https://gitpod.io/#snapshot/ea526246-80f...7b00b29c25 (requires github/gitlab account)

What do you think? Would you want to use this kind of environment? (looking for feedback since i plan on using this for my development)

Did anyone experiment with pogopins added to the pcb yet?

I was thinking about sordering the pogopins to the pcb in a way taht would allow connecting to the custom contacts on the backplate so that the watch could be connected to the custom charger that would have a socket for the debugging cable (or ideally solution that would allow flashing via USB)

I am unable to find the plans/projects for the pinetime casing, can anyone reference it or can i request it from the upstream (ideally 3D model)?

I would like to fork it for my design.

Were there any issues with this connector that would require such a hotfix? Or am i just unlucky to get a board which wasn't process correctly by the machine? (https://github.com/Kreyren/pinetime/issues/8)


Context: i want to know what was the issue in case it conflicts with the development

I think one of the main problems with all the distributions I have seen so far is screen resolution. Many dialogue boxes and other screens are just too big to be displayed and operated properly.

If we want to run standard Linux applications, then it seems imperative that we first try to do so in a standard screen size, rather than trying to adapt each singe application to a smaller space such as a phone display.

The Pinephone is very well capable of displaying a higher resolution than what we have seen so far. Look at the boot up messages in Maemo Leste or Debian Phosh. The displayed messages are tiny but still shown very clearly.

As a sort of "proof of concept", I was able to install Gnome over Postmarket OS Phosh (Gnome needs to be started in Terminal here) and ended up with an almost computer-like screen layout and ample space for the keyboard at the bottom in portrait mode. Surpirisingly, this was rather responsive and accurate to touch-operate. Please see my thread here:

There also seemed to be a way to move a cursor over an area to be tapped and then tap the screen anywhere to emulate a mouse click. It would perhaps even be possible to have a loupe-style magnification, if necessary.

To me, the reason seems to be that my installation somehow used the Mali400 graphics driver that is specific to the Pinephone's graphic chip. It was explained to me that Mali400 is non-free and therefore should not be used and in any case the physical screen resolution should have nothing to do with Gnome scaling.

But on the other hand, I have not seen any other high resolution distro yet.

How can we get something like this, please:

Hello everyone,

I was wondering when this new chip will be available which claims some performance improvements but 40% less power (RK3588)

http://linuxgizmos.com/rockchips-roadmap...re-rk3588/

Specifically what interest me is 

• NPU 2.0 (Neural Processing Unit)
  
  
• And I would love to see 8G RAM option
  

So like I've been trying so do different stuff and have taken the screw out so many times, I'm worried it's gonna strip out.

I was watching an ETA and he reviewed a couple sbc cases that used magnets to hold the lid on. Has anyone tried that or something like that?

I'm about to order some and choice it a shot.

On some sites - news sites in particular - the center frame is small and there is a lot of white space along both sides. Firefox and Chrome are not using the full page.

This is not a font size issue; nor is it related to any zoom functionality. It is that the browsers are displaying everything centered and not formatted to the full page.

Any ideas what will fix this. I'm sure it is a setting that I just cannot find.

The wiki of the pinetime mentiones the LCD driver part number, but nothing about the part number of the actual display. or backlight. It does mention the 3 backlight pins (low mid high), and according to the schematic these are just connected to a 2k2, a 100R and a 30R resistor, this suggests 3 different brightness levels, but you could get even more brightness levels if you were to combine these 3 brightness levels, but it doesn't really look like that was the intention of the original design. Now I am wondering. Can I pull all these 3 pins low without sending too much current to the backlight?
