Pine64 November Community Update (opens in new tab)

  > As most of you know, the past two years has not been the best for community updates as nobody has been able to write consistently. I am happy to announce that I will be stepping up to continue producing community updates monthly alongside our community members and developers.

I spent over $2k at these folks. And this is the main (but not only) reason why I stopped buying anything for over a year. This has been a constant problem, and the same thing has been promised so many times! "Oh, going forward we will update" and "Oh, well, we missed it for a year, but from today it will be different" - for years.

Of course I won't even mention that the Tab-V has been out of stock since last christmas, the flash bug in pinephone still hasn't been fixed though it has been known since before the pandemic, the standard pinephone (without the garbage overpriced UBS-C adapter) has been out of stock since I don't even know when, and they stopped selling the dev edition of the pinenote in the moment when they created a new batch. Oh, I won't even mention that when I once visited their discord channel, the last response was 4 months old, if I disregard the ocean of crypto spam. But hey, the forum is ignored too, so at least that's balanced out.

I have had so much hope in that company. But anyone who is buying anything from them, and expects something as an exchange for the money is just asking for a disappointment.

Rant over.
