Did I say something stupid enough that you needed to check my profile?

Good, that was on purpose.

  • I’ll say it happen when Musk got involved with production as he thought he will disrupt manufacturing by heavily relying in automation, disregarding what every manufacturing expert had told him that it ain’t that easy.

    He fumbled the ball hard and IMO that was the beginning of the end of Tesla’s hegemony, where they started making serious quality mistakes and dropped finishing quality as well.

    That said, I’m not sure if they ever had any to begin with, but for a while customers valued that brand very highly, even being on waiting lists for months.

    To me, this was the Jets’ Butt Fumble of car manufacturing.







  • I gave a bit of a heads-up on a different thread, but the TLDR is that I use usb for the main disk and there’s an issue with usb in the latest uboot for rk3328. I tried flashing the SPI to an early version but as soon as I would update a kernel to LTS, I would start having problems.

    To be honest, I feel that this is a solvable issue, but also that I’m done trying to make these cards work on my own. (I wasted a lot of time and money fixing the eemc modules and the sockets).

    At this point I reached a conclusion that I would use my selfhosting time to focus on software and networks, and just use reliable hardware, even if it means doing less and paying more, and leave soldering for my diy projects.

    That said, the Rock64 pro sbcs I have are still going strong despite being used non-stop for the last 5-6 years.
