Lilbits: A RISC-V router (crowdfunding), an E Ink color dev kit, and Windows 11 taskbar customization

As promised, Microsoft is bringing back the ability to reposition the Windows taskbar… although you can’t actually do it just yet unless your a member of the Windows 11 Insider Preview program running an experimental build of Windows 11. More options for customizing the Start Menu are also rolling out to Insiders.

In other recent tech news from around the web, a crowdfunding project is […]

The 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

@cynical13 I have two #Pinetime smartwatches. One died after a year or so, one after one week (!). To this day, @pine64eu ghosts these warranty cases. We also had to trash a now broken #PinePower USB charging station. My #Pinephone is still working though. But the quality is pretty subpar.

My excitement is slowly growing. As I get ready to build out a few new things for my #mega65 and #c64u (namely, Idun and TeensyROM carts) I am getting my repair station built.

Today I have a successful upgrade and integration test with my #Pinecil

I really don't know how I lived before I got my #Pinepower either. These things are so amazing!
