PINE64 Community@machaddr has released a Gentoo based image for the #pinetabv . Make sure to flash to an SD card if you wish to test it out!

Brad LinderThe PinePower V2 is a 165W desktop power supply with a lot of features... but the current batch of units has an unfixable error that displays 0V output when charging under some circumstances. It'll be fixed in the next batch. https://social.treehouse.systems/@pine64/116560984107305359 #Pine64 #PinePowerV2 #PinePower

Attached: 1 image Hey everyone, we'd like to make a public disclosure to the community about a product currently selling on the PineStore website (pine64.com). The current Desktop PinePower V2 batch has an issue where in some situations the USB-C ports will report "0V" when there is obviously something attached. In reality it is actually outputting the **correct** voltage. This has been fixed for future batches, but the current batch still has stock available. There is no fix available for affected Desktop PinePower V2 batches as the MCU can only be flashed at the factory. We have no ETA when the fixed batch will start production as this depends on the rest of the buggered batch being sold. We'll let you all know when the fixed ones hit the store. And please don't open your PinePowers as they're high voltage power supplies (dangerous, shocking even!). Hopefully that is obvious to most :) Thanks! #PinePower #pine64 #publicdisclosure
CamdenStarted off as a joke on the discord announcement about the PinePower "Emphasis on DONT OPEN IT. There's a tiny guy trying to sleep in there."
The tiny guy in question is the pinepecker. It has been decided that they have a spray bottle ready whenever someone tries to open their PinePower. It didn't occur me until later that there's a USB serial console called the "woodpecker". They are part of the Pine64 character roster now.

JeffFor a while, I had a #PineTime watch. It worked... fine, but there were definite limitations.
The charger stopped reliably charging it and I couldn't get it to sync back up to my phone.
That kind of killed my interest in smart watches in general and in #Pine64 specifically.
It seems like Pine decided that what they had was good enough and they haven't really worked to improve anything since. Their webpage is still copyrighted 2022.
bitspookI am 🤏 this close to declaring #pine64 a scam. It's fine they are selling ancient stock (which they didn't keep well, there are water-like marks on the USB hub they send along the phone); but they should at least keep the crucial parts working. My plan was to keep the pinephone connected to hotspot of my main phone and build some Linux apps instead of supporting the Oligarch platforms with more tools; without wifi it is next to useless.
I guess I can make it a weak server; but I have several rescued devices powering my homelab already. 
#pine64 support seem to be trolling me. I reported that wifi chip stopped working within ~15 minutes, and their response so far has been:
It is almost as if they just want me to go away and stop complaining.

Final take for PineTab-V for this experiment with Gentoo.
No web browser seems to compile, there's an error due to RISC-V architecture.
CPU is not fully optimized for this Tablet, since it is an experimental Tablet, there's plenty of room to improve it and enable hardware accelaration on Mesa.
Core GNOME applications work out of the box, if you want a tablet for office operations this is a great Tablet for it.
Root MooseAnyone have recent experience with the PineTab2?
Usability when running pmos or some other distro?
