Looks like the same over on Reddit, it's really sad. For a while I got sooo much excitement following Pine64. I feel like I was just working to make money to buy everything they were developing!

 

A few years ago I turned a pine64 rock64 SBC into a kodi box, and saw immediate performance improvement over the stock Roku chip on my TCL TV when streaming from SMB. As always "better" becomes... ehhhhh I want more. I want to stick with an SBC because of power consumption on a box that I'm going to leave running 24/7. So my question is: What's the best price to video performance SBC out there?

Btop adds temperature, which htop doesn't offer.... There are a bunch of other *top programs you could check out but btop is a nice one I learned about on Lemmy

The only metric you'll likely have trouble with is power consumption, I dont think the pi has a sensor for that. You would have to plug it in through a killawatt or smart plug

I'm sorry, what?....Oh, all I heard was that my linux home server is going to be running on new hardware in about a year and a half when all these used computers go on sale. 😁

Out of curiosity are you able to click on text and highlight it by holding the shift key and arrowing? Then copy and paste it with ctrl+c and ctrl+v? Not trying to give you a work-around necessarily, but wondering if it is mouse related or something else.

Have you tried another mouse on the pi?

I've spent countless hours over the last couple years, since I left the Googs, trying to find a good alternative for STT. I love that I just bumped into this post and it seems to be the answer I'm looking for. I've been playing around with it today and it works pretty great. Thanks OP!

I switched to Proton from PIA when I learned of PIAs sketchy new owner Kape Technologies

 

Can anyone help me pick out a budget friendly (sub $200) graphics card?

  • Doesn't have to be current generation

  • I won't be gaming at all on the PC

  • Needs to run well on Linux

  • Must run 3 monitors

  • Biggest workout it will get is streaming security cams on one screen, full screen video on another.

  • Power supply is only 295W and I'd rather not upgrade it.

Any help is much appreciated!
