Most of you are probably asking how I am feeling after yesterday.
Unsure if it was via food or air, but the stomach bug I picked up in Indianapolis on Wednesday has totally kicked my arse.
Yesterday I really did not want to eat anything, nor even drink water etc. I was absolutely drained and could hardly keep awake.
So, today after a LOT of sleep I am somewhat improved. Feeling about 40%, mostly awake, and more functional.
As you can imagine I was not able to work at all yesterday, and I hope to do so today, from home.
There are 164 emails in my #FoodBank #Outlook #Inbox that need organising, 104 unread, and I plan to do so this morning.
As I reported, my ordered #PineTab2 was delivered yesterday, and it is absolutely fantastic. The build quality is way superior to what I hoped for.
For a 10.1" tablet, 8GB RAM, 128GB HD, and keyboard I paid $242.99 delivered.
It runs Danctnix, which is KDE Plasma 6 compiled for ARM.
Please ask me questions about this excellent device.
Today is Arianna's last work day of PTO.
It's going to a whole lot warmer, and many of the Spring trees are starting to bloom, so she will be going into photography mode.
Time to dive into work mode as I listen to The Cybertronic Spree concert at The Echo, Los Angeles.
The 80s style beat is certainly helping keep me awake.

767 app updates in Arch BTW.

#SailfishOS 5.0 images for the @PINE64 devices are now available via the flash-it script. #pinephone #pinephonepro #pinetab #pinetab2 https://github.com/sailfish-on-dontbeevil/documentation/wiki/Installation
Had my #pinetab2 charging in the living room and came back to a cracked screen. Neither of the kids nor the dog would admit who did it or what happened. Tis a mystery!
Unfortunately I've been using it as my main computer because my old Linux powered MacBook finally died for good. Also, I'm strapped for cash and have been playing catch up on credit card bills I racked up while my wife was off work after surgery. One more thing I need to find a money tree for.
Looks like GNOME wins.
Gotta do some experiment with GNOME on a low resolution touch screen. #PineTab2
Summer restock has just arrived️
#PineTab2, #PinePhone Pro, #Pinebook Pro, #Pinecil, #PineTime and accessories are now all back in stock

Oh man, wifi is finally actually working right on the #pinetab2 ! Earlier this year, it worked, but would crash the system if the module was still loaded when the table went to sleep or shut down. Now it works fine with both!
The cameras and Bluetooth are still nonfunctional AFAIK, but they are way less important.
Back in stock #pinecil V2, #PineTime, #PinePower Desktop/ 65W GaN, #PinePhone Pro, #PineTab2, #Pinebook Pro and much more️

Hello #Linux #LinuxMobile bubble.
I am searching for a tablet which preferrably runs mainline so #PostmarketOS or #NixOS are supported.
Must have:
- a sort of display via cable (USB-C, DP, HDMI)
- bluetooth for mouse and keyboard
- WiFi
Do any of you know of such a device? I guess #PineTab2 is not it?
Finally consolidated my notes on things I've done to get the #PineTab2 working (mostly) the way I want it to. Some gathered from the forums, some that I noticed and/or figured out myself.
