<Aurora_iz_kosmos> niburu: hi
<niburu> oi
<Aurora_iz_kosmos> Just meant to poke back at the test pings.
<niburu> Thanks, it wasn't it :) I just messed up, hoping people would ignore :D

<Aurora_iz_kosmos> Ah, my bad.
<Aurora_iz_kosmos> So, any recs on cheap FOSS-friendly arm-laptop devices?
<niburu> Just said pretty much all I remember
<Aurora_iz_kosmos> Well yes, I'm presuming the EOMA68 is not an option for now.
<Aurora_iz_kosmos> (unfortunately)

<oh2ftg> Aurora_iz_kosmos: The one's I'm aware of are the Olimex TERES-I https://www.olimex.com/Products/DIY-Laptop/KITS/TERES-A64-BLACK/open-source-hardware
<oh2ftg> And Pinebook by the PINE64 folks https://www.pine64.org/?page_id=3707
<oh2ftg> pinebook is 99usd, while TERES is 240eur, the difference what manufacturing in china vs. europe makes.

<Aurora_iz_kosmos> Hm. Pinebook vs TERES. A conundrum
<Aurora_iz_kosmos> Welp. Pinebooks are out of stock. I guess that solves that.
<Aurora_iz_kosmos> Hm. Is there anything about the TERES' board that would prevent me from using 4GiB of DDR3 memory instead?
<Aurora_iz_kosmos> (I happen to have those lying around...)
<niburu> Aurora_iz_kosmos: ^
<niburu> Have a felling that you didn't read that yet
<Aurora_iz_kosmos> I hadn't, but that's not really what I was asking.
<Aurora_iz_kosmos> Mostly, can the board recognize more than 2GiB?
<Aurora_iz_kosmos> It's not really a dealbreaker if it can't, but it'd be fun if it could.
<Aurora_iz_kosmos> I've had mobos capped at 4GiB before.
<Aurora_iz_kosmos> Even if I put 8GiB in, it just plain didn't address it.
<niburu> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
<Aurora_iz_kosmos> Heh, try and see, report if it works?
<niburu> you should probably look at the hw sheet
<Aurora_iz_kosmos> I don't think I have the requisite knowledge to grok hardware docs.
<niburu> you know that it's a soldered ram?
<niburu> ahh okay
<Aurora_iz_kosmos> Oh.
<Aurora_iz_kosmos> The RAM is soldered onto the board.
<Aurora_iz_kosmos> That sorta makes my query irrelevant.
<Aurora_iz_kosmos> I'd been presuming some sort of external shim of some sort with pci connectors.
<Aurora_iz_kosmos> That's obviously not the case.
<Aurora_iz_kosmos> Probably much simpler to assemble/make though
<Aurora_iz_kosmos> niburu: When you said HW sheet I had thoughts about when I tried to grok Intel PDFs about chip specs.
<Aurora_iz_kosmos> Thankfully, it's nowhere near as newbie-unfriendly.
<Aurora_iz_kosmos> niburu: Thank you for bearing with the noob
<niburu> I'm myself one, perhaps in a little more advanced stage ;)
<niburu> s/myself one/one myself/
<infobot> niburu meant: I'm one myself, perhaps in a little more advanced stage ;)
<Aurora_iz_kosmos> Ah, I see
<niburu> so don't cite me on anything i wrote here
<Aurora_iz_kosmos> Fair enough
