PinePhone Pro Linux smartphone has been discontinued, but the original PinePhone is still available| Liliputing
Let's start off with mentioning that both these new phones are great steps forward for Linux. While they will probably not beat Android and iOS in popularity, they will at least give Linux power users a device that can be called a Linux phone instead of the usual "technically it's| TuxPhones - Linux phones, tablets and portable devices

Lacking good sensors, premium optics, and most importantly good post-processing capabilities, the PinePhone's, extremely basic sensor cannot often offer the shots one would expect. Even on the Librem 5, which uses a somewhat better| TuxPhones - Linux phones, tablets and portable devices
The process of moving our end-user services to the ROCKPro64 cluster will be taking place in the coming days (5-10 June).

However, as I looked into the TOFU board schematic, I noticed that i...| A Laptop For My Pillow
With recent PR oopsies by Broadcom^W Raspberry Pi and the announcement of the RK3566-based PineTab 2 a lot of eyes will be on PINE64's RK3566-based products now. Since I happened to have worked on this ecosystem a bit, I thought it might be a good time to write a quick explainer of where we are, how work is being done, and why things may not be the right fit for you. Full disclosure: the author of this article has received free hardware from PINE64 in the past for the purpose of developing so...| A Laptop For My Pillow

The time has come to upgrade my SunBlade 2500s to something more power friendly and faster. I'd already removed one CPU and thus half the ram from two of these systems to reduce their power consumption, but it's still much higher than it could be.| NetBSD Blog
