Debian still ships with the original terminal Gopher client. It doesn't compile out of the box on other distros, but so far I've figured out how to build it on Fedora and Arch with a CFLAGS change.

PineNote and PineTab2 stock is expected to run dry within three months.

Über einen Neustart von PineNote und PineTab2 soll erst nach Mitte 2027 anhand der Speicherpreise entschieden werden.

PineNote and PineTab2 stock is expected to run dry within three months.

Pine64 stellt die Fertigung aller Linux-Geräte ein — SBCs, PinePhone, PineTab2, PineNote. Der Engpass liegt bei eMMC, nicht beim Arbeitsspeicher.

PineNote and PineTab2 stock is expected to run dry within three months.

PINE64 has some bad news for Linux hardware fans. DRAM and eMMC shortages are putting new production on hold, while PineNote and PineTab2 supplies could run out within months.

Společnost PINE64 oznámila, že pozastavuje výrobu linuxových zařízení kvůli vysokým cenám komponent, zejména pamětí DRAM a eMMC. Zda bude výroba pokračovat, závisí na cenovém vývoji těchto komponent po polovině roku 2027, píše se v oznámení. Odhaduje se, že zařízení jako PineNote a PineTab2 budou vyprodaná přibližně za tři měsíce. Všechna zařízení zatím ovlivněna nejsou, výroba PineTime, PineVoice a Pinecil bude pokračovat podle původních plánů. Společnost byla opatrná i při zmínce o možném nástupci modelu PinePhone. PinePhone 2 není zcela vyloučen, ale společnost uvádí, že jej v současné době neplánuje. Výroba nového zařízení by představovala značné finanční riziko a žádný čip dostupný na trhu prý nesplňuje požadavky na takový přístroj. Firma zdůrazňuje, že neopouští Linux ani neukončuje softwarovou podporu pro svůj stávající hardware. Společnost pouze dočasně pozastavuje výrobu nových linuxových zařízení, dokud se situace na trhu nezlepší.

因 DRAM 和 eMMC 持续短缺，香港电脑制造商 PINE64 宣布暂停 Linux 设备生产，未来是否恢复生产将取决于 2027 年中期之后的组件价格。该公司现有的 Linux 平板 PineNote 和 PineTab2 库存可能在大约三个月内售罄。PineTime、PineVoice 和 Pinecil 的生产则将照常进行。Pine64 创办于 2015 年，产品包括了单板电脑、笔记本电脑、智能手机和智能手表等。
