while the cheap walmart ones are holding up well
<samueldr>
yeah, I know about f3 and usually use it on new cards first
<samueldr>
and double annoyingly, the bogus sd cards are legit ones, and weren't bought cheap, they simply were used in a device and ended up having permanent bad blocks
<samueldr>
at least they usually end up usable as uefi firmware cards for raspis
<samueldr>
:/ out of the box chromium fails on their image
<clever>
ive got a couple dead cards that i could run the above tool on maybe
<samueldr>
oof, gets notably toastier than the previous generation
<samueldr>
just holding my hand a couple centimeters above and I feel the heat
<samueldr>
oof, not sure if it's that the software is still WIP, but firefox is not a joy to use on raspbian as it is on the pi 4
<samueldr>
(and the aforementioned chromium that shipped with raspbian not starting it not good :/)

I'm surprised more boards don't include emmc ports
<Ashy>
although I haven't done any hard lifetime comparisons
<samueldr>
ones that don't aim for rock bottom prices more often have eMMC, either soldered or through a connector*
<samueldr>
* connector which may differ in incompatible ways and damaging ways across vendors
<Ashy>
yeah I've got a rockpro64 that has an emmc

<samueldr>
hm?
<gchristensen>
I don't have a way to get data on the disks, and they came empty
<gchristensen>
that arrives Tuesday
<samueldr>
ah
<samueldr>
can't see clearly in that potatovision picture, but I gather this means there is no sd card slot at all
<gchristensen>
right
<gchristensen>
yeah, lighting is a challenge in my basement networking hovel

Torn between wanting a pinebook pro and thinking I really don't need any more rk3399s
<samueldr>
heh
<samueldr>
still unsure about it; and there's the annoying bit of the keyboard layout I prefer not being available until later; and later AFAIUI there won't be the storage bump
