I currently have a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ but I’m aware it’s a bit old and is ARM so I’m thinking of buying a Pi 5.
The Pi 5 lacks a H264 hardware encoder/decoder, making it unsuitable for most streaming/transcoding purposes.

The EU store ships from the EU with warranty, support, etc. for quite a hefty premium. I ordered from the global store which ships from Hong Kong. Paid ~500€ a year ago (including taxes).


The display looks great and mine doesn’t have the stuck pixel or the buggy lines issue you experienced
They have since fixed that.
though I do have very noticeable ghosting artifacts
Unfortunately just the nature of the technology. If you’re just reading, DU4:3 works the best, for manga I use the full G:4 mode with screen refresh for every page flip enabled.
I wrote some custom profiles for each (Default, Book, Manga, Notes, Notes (Landscape) which I have on my desktop, I can send you the scripts if you want.
Couldn’t find a good way to use browsers on it yet since they all smooth scroll instead of jumping in fixed intervals.


I left mine running over night with KOReader open, Nextcloud in background, no suspend and it took 20 hours and 10 minutes to go from 100% to 10%.
As @poweruser@lemmy.sdf.org wrote, there is a pretty significant phantom drain where it loses about 15% per day when suspended.


I have used the same tip for a year and it’s still fine. It also comes with 2 tip replacement and all of the generic pens for EMR screens work on the Pinenote.
Can’t say much about the battery life but I’m going to leave it running once it’s fully charged and report back.


I have one, I wrote a small review for it last year: https://domistyle.gitlab.io/pinenote-2024/ (enable autoplay so the videos play).
You can test Xournal++ and KOReader on any Linux desktop, it’s what works best on the PineNote right now.
They also have an active Matrix group where the main developers are present.
So I’ve resigned to settling for any phone that’s cutting edge.
If you drop the “cutting edge” condition instead, you could grab a Fairphone, which ticks all the other checkboxes.
Unless you game on your phone, you won’t notice a thing between modern high end and low end phones as long as they put enough RAM in.
Samsung is the opposite of everything you mentioned besides cutting edge.


i’m getting coil whine from it and had to live with that until 60 series…
My 7900 XTX sounds like it’s trying to establish a dial-up connection to Satan when running intense compute tasks. So we can suffer together.


That’s the thing I miss the most. We have such insanely powerful hardware now and yet we never exceeded 2009 in destruction tech.
Teardown scratched that itch a little bit but it lacks proper building physics.


I can’t speak for client capabilities on Apple devices, but what’s your server hardware? CPU or GPU transcoding?
I have an AMD GPU in my server and have no issues transcoding AV1 and H265 for my lesser capable clients.
You can also setup Jellyfin in parallel to Plex and give it a whirl.


Sir, this is a /c/selfhosted.


but half the 4k streaming content is compressed to hell.
You can up that to 80%. Almost anything coming from Netflix in 4k is severely bitrate starved.
Then there is the opposite extreme, like the Arcane blu-rays that put animated content in a 100 Mbit/s stream. Completely overkill but I love it.


Who is kiss?
2027/2032 is still some time away.
However, accessibility features provided by third-party applications may be worse in some aspects. Please open a bug report if you have any special requirements that we don’t cover yet! This is an active topic we’re very interested in improving.
Let them know what you need.


Why not both?
Nothing stops somebody from manually uploading builds just because an automatic deployment tool is available.


Yes, I was thinking more of deploying directly to them with a single click like you can do on consoles.
Also, the Frame needs support for the controller inputs, foveated rendering, etc…
These are currently implemented through Meta protocols and I assume Valve will want to add support for them or add their own extensions.


I wonder if Valve is going to fund Godot as well at some point.
Seems like a win for Godot developers if you can easily deploy to the Steam Frame/Steam Machine.


such as Sacred 2
Where are you installing it?
Maybe this helps? https://www.protondb.com/app/225640#lTflZjszpq


I bought a Model 3 SR+ in 2019 because it was pretty much the only decent option, also still driving it.
BYD and other Chinese brands were not available here yet and German manufacturers were asleep at the wheel.
The best coming out of Germany at that time were repurposed chassis from ICE cars, with all the flaws that brings. The Leaf lacked water cooling on the batteries.
The best alternative at that time was a classic Hyundai Ioniq but it had a 28 kWh battery where as the Model 3 SR+ had a 52 kWh battery for 10.000€ more.
Since you own an e-Golf, just to put some numbers on this. (e-Golf left, Model 3 SR+ right)

Depends on what they settle on, especially for screen sharing. Many downscale content for people with weaker connections.
