The PineNote is here! I'm planning on making a hands on video to share my experience. Let me know if you have any questions you want me to try and answer. I don't plan to do technical tests but open to collaborating on it.
First impression, feels like a quality and sturdy device. Feels good in the hand, the texture is a kinda soft grippy plastic. Pen felt good, the writing friction seems ok, I don't want to make any software qualifications until I update the device but still happy with the out-of-box experience. The wake from sleep time is essentially instant.
@PINE64 great work on the PineNote, I'm very impressed with the hardware!
Edit 2: there's renewed interest in this post, feel free to check out the first impressions video (~6 mins, which has a good bit of usage footage), in case that post isn't visible to you.
Edit: Link to blog post with thoughts after day one. Since I'm on a single user instance most people may not see the thread with info that hasn't been boosted, the post has all of it.
@lupyuen 4 months of an increasing workload without issue is very good.

#NuttX Build Farm is showing SATA Disk Errors ... Is my Ubuntu Xeon dying from overuse?
Log: https://gist.github.com/lupyuen/73b8b3a7125979a724f3aafeedf3d8ab
@lupyuen A Xeon CPU should be able to handle that. I'm wondering if the Platform Controller Hub is limiting the throughput. A PCI card for storage should, in theory, allow for less of a bottle neck as it would interface with the CPU.
The log appears to indicate that the interface is over saturated. From what I recall, the interface on Workstation Xeons is closer to the desktop grade hardware than it is to the rack server Xeons.
It might be worth a try to test a storage controller card if you have access to one. Someone in home server community might have a better take on what's going on.
@ryan @freemo There was the old rabies vaccination where a scientist was experimenting with a lethal virus and the nervous tissue from animals that died from rabies.
I think the rationale for vaccinating the little girl who was bitten by a rabid dog was that it worked on animals and she would likely die with or without it in the worst case.
Old vaccines and inoculations were somewhat horrifying. Vaccinations have been whatever the company decides for some time.
Much like the old vaccines, the long term effects will have to be observed. Perhaps there will be some changes in ethics regarding vaccines, especially the trials.
It's a new frontier and perhaps ethics will make a return like the seemingly inevitable untreatable gonorrhea that's on the horizon.
