If you really care about using desktop Linux softwares, than this is a better buy. if you only care about mobile apps, the Samsung should be fine.

you are depending on open source developers that do it on their own time/no pay so it's likely things are not functional/no urgency to fix/use a workaround vs. a paid product that has to work or customers are angry this tablet (Pine64) on the other hand also offers freedom/a full computer so it's up to you what you need/want better is subjective, a device that works, Samsung is better, do random things/freedom Pine64 is better not comparing physical size/camera/display/other things like that, I'd venture Samsung is also better (just looked it up, just raw numbers the Samsung is better, same resolution but smaller display, higher MP camera(s)) (tablet has more ram though up to 8GB vs. 3 max on samsung) I personally am more interested in higher level development eg. JavaScript, I don't develop Linux/low level stuff so I have pretty much abandoned all these devices, only thing I have left is my pine bud earbud

@@jacobdavidcunningham1440 Of course, we love FOSS. My tablet runs fine and can emulate many systems (complex systems), but less costumiseable and forces me to run closed source software. Is it powerful than mine? If yes, I will rather replace mine with a PineTAB (so I can finally install GNU/Linux).

unfortunately I can't answer that as I don't know the numbers are similar but pinetab2 is 2 years newer/better GPU $200 could buy one, sell it if you don't like it I'm not sure why there aren't more videos on this, this video is months old, improvements have been made now software side

@@jacobdavidcunningham1440 sick, I will think about it, thanks!

well, they have different purposes can't watch RUclips on RM2 But I will get one again, just because of the writing experience and long battery life Plus you can program it yourself which is something I want to do I'm not a huge fan of Apple stuff, though I'm using a 2015 i7 MBP to write this comment (good to have an Apple device for cross platform dev)

no lol, I'm broke right now, I have pre-ordered a simula vr in the past, but they're delayed

yeah it is a great plane, unfortunately I have crashed it a few times and did not repair it well, at least it still flies

lol

Curious how things are going with job(s) currently.

@@Crftbt I am working labor right now. Sad. Trying to get back into tech mostly because of debt.apply a lot, few responses, have not gotten to technical stage yet. In my case I am self taught so that's not great and CS industry not doing well right now.

@@Crftbt I did make another tool. It's a chrome extension for linked in, filters out jobs by string matching on scroll, stores em in local storage, it's on my GitHub. Pretty useful but applying to jobs has been mentally draining ha... Not hearing anything back. I brought it on myself though, been lucky in this field having had a six fig job, I just left without a plan.

They run Linux, Linux are basically your choice. Mobian, for example, is a good choice.

@@teapot401 Thanks Clippy for more unhelpful information, I thought by switching to Linux I would be able to avoid you lol. To this day the PineTab2 still has unfinished Bluetooth and wi-fi drivers, last time I checked mobile Linux is still a WIP. Just because desktop Linux is finished doesn't mean mobile Linux is too.

I don't know. You can ask in the Pine64 discord under pine tab channel or reddit or pine64 forum

someone was trying to port debian, might check discord for progress on it

There has been quite good development done with gnome-mobile and gnome in general. The former looks the most promising so far with getting gnome shell running on these type of devices.

I have seen someone run half life 2 on it, not sure about ios, waydroid maybe but this thing is not that powerful, it has built in wifi once the driver is fixed, screen recording there are apps for that have to check regarding wayland, again this thing is not that powerful... if you wanted to screen capture while playing something you may have to use something else to capture output eg. via an HDMI out mirrored display, not sure

At some point you can write a different OS on it eg. Debian but not sure how that is going (would be able to see it listed on pinetab 2 wiki at some point).

​@@jacobdavidcunningham1440Mobian? It works on it.

What's wrong with Arch? It's not that bad.

I currently use it for podcasts while I'm cooking/in the house since it has farther range than my Samsung Galaxy buds which I use for music/working out

the plane class is F3K DLG if you're curious. yeah I think they'll have the wifi stuff fixed soon, does suck about shipping cost I was trying to get into them with regard to not just having iOS/Android as the main choices (regarding phones) but I also need my stuff to work is the thing and I'm not a low level developer

It wasn't at the time of this video, they updated the software and that turned it off again, I am hoping they turn it on again soon, check the Brilliant Labs discord if you're not in there already

yeah... it's tough because software development costs someone's time... if it's volunteer it may not be as good as something developed by Apple/Microsoft/Google but the freedom/choice is nice. But yeah something that seems trivial like suspend is problematic (on this and other devices). still I support their goal and would like more than Apple/Google as choices for OS's (in the case of a phone) I also don't have a lot of time to muck around with getting an operating system to work so yeah idk I feel two ways about it

WiFi out of the box is disabled since it's unstable/can make the device freeze. So they have suggested to get a USB adapter (with USB-C to USB-A hub/adapter) or tether to your phone's internet edit: built in WiFi is getting worked on and will be fixed eventually

According to the wiki, 'pacman -S widevine-aarch64' should fix the widevine

They might need drivers You can tether with your phone If you use discord can go on the Pinetab channel there for more info or post on reddit/pine64 forum

I forgot to mention here's a list of adapters that work github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi/

It did tether with my Android phone.

@@iordanisourailidis176 nice

im going on a guess here and ask is there like a charger/battery cpu that tries to match the charger to the battery? like old phones being locked for a specific service? why not bypass that and give curent directly to the batteries? go lower amps and voltage will charge slower but will charge...

@@GeorgeZaharia sorry I did not see your comment. the charger has an ESP-01 on it, it connects to your wifi, the PBP runs python code on it to check the PBP's battery charge eg. 70% and then it tells the ESP-01 (by performing a POST request) with a payload of charger on/charger off... the ESP-01 is flashed on Arduino so yeah, you can't change the WiFi SSID/pass without reflashing it. I could see about connecting from PBP to the ESP-01 directly as the ESP-01 is an AP but have to look into that, in that case you wouldn't need a password Probably how I should have made it in the first place

one notable example, someone hooked it up with Google Maps for directions in front your face. another is displaying text output from chatGPT. it depends what you want to do with it. in theory it can do object recognition and it's a display in front of your eye (the AR part). right now I'm just using it as a basic HUD because the computer vision/AR part is harder to do. Have to learn this platform called Stream Logic that programs the FPGA to do the image analysis. and... the software is still being worked on by Brilliant Labs to access the hardware on this device like the onboard microphone. so yeah for me eventually I will use it to learn more about FPGA/CV and try to do some AR. I want to show a menu when I put my hand up for example/track finger tips. the device is not that powerful (regarding edge compute) and the BLE communication also limits it. it also does not have an IMU so that would make tracking things harder (for good AR) think text sticking to objects while you move.

@@jacobdavidcunningham1440 , thanks a lot,it is very useful,I never would have thought of that,its applications would be unbelievable!

@@azeddineabdoune814 yeah the fov is small though so the immersion isn't really there. But it's a fun thing to tinker/learn with. I look forward to the day when they're built into glasses companies

The code is here github.com/jdc-cunningham/bl-monocle-reactjs-pwa Standard react app (Creact React App) Web APIs are in there for the news sources The micropython bit is here, but when you run the app (there's a live view of static build eg. github pages) you put the micropython in there... it's stored in local storage on your computer. github.com/jdc-cunningham/bl-monocle-reactjs-pwa/blob/master/python-snippets/scratch.py The basics are you send micropython to the monocle using bluetooth and then you can talk back to the JS layer from monocle using print since those get logged back out to the JS side. There isn't just one way to do things but yeah, that's what I've been doing so far/easiest for me. Ideally you have a native app eg. Android/Swift since the bluetooth can lag on web.

Also the official Brilliant Labs youtube channel has tutorials
