It’s been 2 months, and I’ve finally moved the temporary set up (solderless breadboard) to a properly soldered board with terminals.

I still love the USB ports I added, makes it so easy to share power on the top shelf.

Old sloppy set up, on a solderless breadboard

...Anyone else seen the #pine64 PinePower desktop thingy willing to give out ~100W on the "65W" port?

I should run it through the kill-a-watt and see if it's actually giving that much our, or if the metric is just bad.

If it's able to be off by ~2A, that's a big problem, given it's typically measuring less than that.

If it's accurate, then... I guess i'll just avoid plugging this battery into that port. It's probably not good for it to charge this fast.

Maybe USB-A will give me saner limits.

Apparently Nokia has released a repair friendly phone (G22) in tie-up with iFixit for original replacement parts!

Hugh Jeffreys does a tear down and verifies the claims - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZGM-SgfyU4

This means we can finally get a repairable smartphone in India, Since #fairphone & #pine64 devices are never coming here.

With un-lockable bootloader, It seems viable for #LineageOS & #postmarketOS hacking; Unisoc T606 chipset is bit concerning though. Any thoughts @joelselvaraj ?

Guix System for PinePhone Pro:

https://git.sr.ht/~abcdw/guix-pinephonepro

Wifi, sound, calls and all the stuff should work, however, I tested only wifi connectivity.

Accidentally installed GNU Guix on PinePhone Pro 😄

Just two days of constant kernel rebuilds, a few cross-compilation quirks fixes and here we go! :)

Woohoo finally got my redone bookshelf and LEDs in! Here’s some various pics from along the way.

This started off as a bookshelf remodel. After the remodeling came the lights. I only had to backtrack a little on my remodel job (shame on me for a missed planning step 😂)

Project uses: #ws2812b LEDs, #wled, #esp8266 / #nodeMCU microcontroller + components, #pine64 #pinecil soldering iron, #patience, and some doorbell wire to run the strips in series.
