pine64 publish hardware designs please, just the schemas is not enough :< https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=11092
why publish just silkscreen layers??? what's the point in that??
this design is from 2019-09-05 *surely* they would've had time to publish shit by now
literally the only board files linked on the wiki page are **jpeg** screenshots of gerbers for the irrelevant USB to eMMC converter..
what if pine64 but open hardware <futuristic city.jpeg>
the state of open hardware stuff is real fuckin sad in general tbqh, you can call your shit that even with just gerbers+schema, you can keep your actually usable design source fully private and/or in proprietary $112489138 garbageware
tbh i hope someone proves me wrong on this thread but i kinda doubt it,,,
lol yikes the first nvme upgrade had to be sawed in half by users (nice fiberglass dust!) https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49063689791_9d7948cf7c_h.jpg
lol they removed the "PINE64 is an open source platform from both hardware to software"
because it just isn't
i was angry about the pine64 thing again but Olimex is actually really cool, they make a laptop too and actually publish *everything* as KiCad project files; ie https://github.com/OLIMEX/DIY-LAPTOP/tree/master/HARDWARE
@ella yeah it sucks tbh, because they still have a lot of good rep because of it...
1. have an attractive goal that is also unreachable among other good features
2. get good rep
3. abandon the unreachable goal silently
4. profit
@f0x god damn, that's disappointing.
don't get me wrong, stuff like my pinephone's still been great to use, but knowing that the platform is a decent bit more closed than they let on is definitely concerning >_<
ok im closing all my pine64/pinebookpro related tabs because this is not gonna get anywhere
