Of course you did. You're not handing your device over to Best Buy, you're handing it over to Jimmy on the Geek Squad who is quiet and a bit weird. And he loves to snoop into other people's phones. Not for identity theft or reselling naughty pictures, but simply for the fun of snooping on other people.

Backup your device and wipe all of your data before handing a phone over to anyone else. It's just safer that way.

Can confirm...this works. Have done it with my van a few times.

That's how you know it's fake...the USPS would never wish anyone a great day.

To be fair, the employee was fired.

You're still going to want that tube greased up real good if you're going to be zipping around at speed in a vactube.

If that’s true then they fixed any quality issues on subsequent boards, so you questioning the stability and quality of the current boards is no longer substantiated

Meanwhile, anyone that supported their Kickstarter got screwed.

but I’m curious what you would consider a more stable option?

Why would I bother when you're obviously just going to pick it apart, just like you did with the Pi immediately after asking that question. You like the Pine64, great. Good luck with that. I won't touch them with a 10 foot pole. That's my opinion. Have a nice day.

There were reports that many of the original Pine64 Kickstarter boards had this bootloop problem. While I understand this was one of there first products, I still don't want to sink money into something when better and more stable options are available.

It's at least one more season than Paramount gave us.

I still have a bad taste in my mouth from the Pine64 I bought from their Kickstarter. The thing lasted 4 months before it stopped booting. I have no faith in any subsequent products.

He could always just publicly massively overbid on a hostile takeover of WB to push his weight around which backfires when he realizes he's paying way too much and gets sued into going through with the purchase anyways because its a massive golden parachute for the top brass at WB that far exceeds any profits they had planned to produce in the next 10 years. Then he can make movies any way he wants.
