  • LoL… Really?

    1 number apart, but considerably different. Sure.

    Difference between x5 and x7 maybe. To pass x6 a device must be submerged to a depth of 1m for 30 minutes.

    IPx7 is for a device intended to operate permanently submerged. So not a phone.

    That fact your picking the difference shows you don’t know the difference.

    IP67 is just a marketing gimmick. I’d be impressed if a phone with this rating would endure 12 months submerged and still function. Who needs this anyway?



  • Have had this issue myself asking with other DD card related issues.

    I can’t understand why the pi foundation persist with using SD as the only physically practical storage option.

    They’re looking post the point of needing a way to snap on reliable EMMC storage, as a default, in a way that doesn’t leave a cable or something permanently plugged into a USB port.

    Sure, USB is a fine option, but I hate that it’s only an option and not a designed default.

    Most of us only need 8GB or so for the OS, 8GB or good quality durable EMMC should hardly cost anything.

    Other tiny computers and even economy notebooks and Chromebooks already use this.











  • My first attempt was apt-get install. I’m fairly comfortable with Linux as a server (basic lamp setup) though I make no claims if being an expert.

    It’s clearly not in the default repos for Raspian (at least not when I tried), and that could be half my issue, my hardware while popular is not x86 or x86-64.


  • I’m no bash wizard, but I grew up with computers through the 80’s and am comfortable with using a cli, doesn’t bother me at all.

    My OP got messed up with the Lemmy app I’m using and thus a large chunk went missing.

    I’m actually using Raspian on a raspberry pi, and I don’t think there is a binary for armhf available through the more typical means.

    For everything else I just apt-get install xxx.

    I’ll revisit later.

    I appreciate the effort in your post.
