"Currently the DRAM shortage will impact the production of devices like the #Pinetab2, #PineNote and #PinePhone. #PineStore founder #TLLim has stated that he doesn’t wish to increase the price of hardware significantly so production is halted for the time being."

Until the #AI bubble bursts.

Also, no #PinePhone2 any time soon, for various reasons 😞

FOSDEM 2026 Update

Hey again RSS readers (love y’all). In this update we share what we discussed at FOSDEM (PinePhone 2, community editions, DRAM shortage), what we demoed at our stand at FOSDEM and details on the PineTime Pro. Next month will have the main community update.

PINE64

Am kommenden Dienstag, 17.3. gibts bei @c3d2 einen Linux-Mobile Hacking Themenabend. #Linux aufs #smartphone portieren und Treiberentwickeln.
Ich werde wohl mein neues #shiftphone8.1 und ein #pinetab2 mitbringen.

Having fun with NixOS on the PineTab2: u-boot video and USB keyboard now work, so I can select the NixOS generation to boot into without needing the serial console.

I saw these choice excepts on the #PineTab2 store page:

"Device Warranty: 30 Days"

...and...

"Small numbers (1-3) of stuck or dead pixels are a characteristic of LCD screens. These are normal and should not be considered a defect."

Uh huh, sure.

Are there any decent #Linux tablets or phones out there? Perhaps some stuff that their manufacturers and designers have a little faith in?

@thomas

If I understand correctly:
1. I download factory default and flash it on a microSD (with DD)
2. I insert the microSD card and the UART card (last port).
3. I leave the switch off
4. I press the ON button for 2 seconds and the tablet starts up and reinstalls the factory default ... Right?

#pinetab2

@thomas OK, on est probablement dans un cas similaire. Pour le moment, j'ai mis à jour à la première utilisation et après un premier démarrage, j'ai une erreur de boot. Le help desk m'a suggéré de réinstaller l'OS mais je n'y arrive pas... Il ne répond plus à mes questions et me renvoie au forum... Un peu galère...
Voici les questions que je posais :

#pinetab2

Hé les Mastos, y-a-t'il des utilisatrices ou utilisateurs francophones de #pinetab2 ici ? Je galère un peu et des conseils/échanges seraient les bienvenus...

#pine64 #linux #tablette

The 4k video playback on the #PineTab2 is really impressive!
The @pine64 stall at #FOSDEM was great 💯💯

Have you tapped on the suspicious pacman icon (or "a fun demo :D") on the #pinetab2 desktop at #fosdem2026 ?
