  • If you’re complaining at the fact that this bot will give feedback regarding any news article trustworthiness…I appreciate it saving me a few clicks and a search. I have my own pet peeves with its source’s own bias, but that would be a different discussion. I have no qualms with it showing on every news article giving a heads up regarding the news source being pure bullshit generally, or having any merit.

    Alternatively, if your complaint is on the length of each of this bots posts, my comment is merely pointing out that you’re blaming the wrong culprit here, as this is a bug in your app of choice for Lemmy, and it renders correctly on many other apps.








  • Sometimes…and sometimes they have rather good UI. But usually it gets pretty messed up when translated. I’ve found the network speed to be pretty decent for image transfer, even at the inefficient MJPEG format they’re currently using right now. They said they’re working on better encoding. Today I found that the remote keyboard/mouse work on certain desktops, but sometimes stops on text mode or when on BIOS. And then you continue booting, and it works again. Not sure what’s going on with the hardware identifier they’re using…

    So…yeah, once they fix the keyboard/mouse issue, and add the function to remotely load ISOs (not only the ones on its own storage), it’s going to be golden. Since it has SSH, I think in theory you should be able to upload the ISOs remotely using SFTP or similar, but I haven´t tested just yet.


  • Posted on their github. All they have is a Chinese forum. And the wiki is…rough at the moment. Chinese only (not a problem with a translation extension) and a lot of “Todo” sections there. Basically the UI right now has no configuration options, besides “checking for updates” which didn’t tell you which version you’re in anyway. While I was testing I saw the check for updates had a blue dot, so I guess it did manage to reach their servers, and after checking and installing an update…seems that menu had a slight improvement, and now it does say current running version. But that’s it.

    But there’s no denying the huge potential for this tiny device. It’s way cheaper and smaller, and consumes way less power. The physical limitations I can see is the NIC is only 10/100 (no gigabit connection), and no wifi. Everything else is software, which I reckon they’ll be working on.
