Important update for US customers.

The PinePhone, PineTab, and Pinenote are still able to ship from Hong Kong. However, all shipments from China are already suspended due to our shipping service no longer accepting packages.

The effect of the US tariffs start on May 2nd when shipments reach US customs. So please be aware that even if you place an order before May 2nd that it is possible (and likely if ordered close to the date) to be charged the extra tariff fee on top.

Thank You.

Our bridge bots have been unbanned and whitelisted, it turns out this was due to spam coming through the matrix bridge.

We are going to make some changes to help mitigate spam.

Thank you to the Matrix team for helping us out.

#pine64

Quick heads up, our bridge bots on the Matrix side are continuing to get banned for an unknown reason. Therefore some channels on Matrix are no longer bridging.

IRC, Discord and Telegram remain unaffected, we will continue looking into possible solutions for the time being.

Happy April (no fools this year)!

And Charlie the Pinecorn returns for April too 😉 .

April Update: Risc It For A Biscuit

This month, the PineTab-V returns, PineNote, PineTab2 and PineTime software improvements and a new Pinecil micro soldering tip set. Does anyone even read these descriptions?

I really want to get a PineNote, but my wife has raised valid concerns that 610€ may be a bit much for us at the moment.

I hate to admit it, but she's right 😭
Let's hope they have plenty of stock this time.

Hey hey! For #pine64 community members at #FOSDEM #fosdem2025 we will be around for a community Meetup at the "Bar Campouce" at 2-4pm.

We hope to see you there!

#pine64 #pinenote recovery and flashing tutorial:
Hello and welcome to possibly the last of my PineNote tutorials, this is a continuation of the RockUSB video where I'll show you how to recover/flash your PineNote. This video doesn't really go into the batch 1 PineNote (since I don't have one), but the same instructions should apply.

Full #pine64 #pinenote software demonstration, reading ebooks, taking notes and the tailored Gnome experience.

This video is to help users wondering if they should buy one, if it will suit their needs. Note, the PineNote is still a developers/tinkerers device, so you will still need enough knowledge to recover the device if something goes wrong.

Awesome! #PineVox is the product I'm really interested in, although I'm stoked to hear more about the #PineCam, too. Hopefully it does well and you release an upgraded 12mp camera version, even if it's twice the price. Either way, easy #HomeAssistant integration would really make this blow up.

These updates where once driver of a prosperous community. Now they only come when new poducts are announced?

I think #pine64 should focus more on supporting development for their existing line-up than developing new niche devices. Or they will face the same fate as the many existing unsuccessful products!

What has become of the DevZone? It could really help overcome hampers in dev. which would have great impact on maturity, comunity and trust!
+In the end sales and thus finance itself

Damn I love this @PINE64 power station! I can charge all my kids ipads, a laptop and my phone all from this one box.

Another great #pine64 product.

Thanks @dflag84 for the tip!
