What's inside the Raspberry Pi USB 3 Hub?
มุมมอง 46Kวันที่ผ่านมา
Raspberry Pi dropped this in the mail along with their Touch Screen. I was like "what? Raspberry Pi's making their own USB Hub?" And yeah, here it is. I don't know anything else you would want to know about it, so I just popped it open and peeked inside. It's... a USB Hub! I guess I could drop a link to it too.

    They minute they left the 35$ price they lost me and most of my friends. This was the whole magic around the Pi, It was cheap and magical to see how high they can push technology for the same price.Its not hard to find better hardware for the higher price... its a shame. I moved to other boards. Bye bye Pi

    Now that our house construction is finally finished, I finally got around to trying out the Orange Pi 5 Plus 32GB that I bought months ago. And what did I have to realize? The hardware is great, but the official software support is total crap. I am extremely grateful to Joshua for his work. Without his valuable work and time invested, the hardware is almost useless. I completely understand his reaction. It's a bitter loss and I really hope he comes back. But your own health comes first. You do something in your free time with extreme dedication because you have fun doing it. At some point, those around you see this devotion as normal and begin to make demands. The tragic thing about it all is that this is not limited to IT or open source topics, but happens everywhere. I experience exactly the same thing in my IT job, but also in my private life. At some point it just doesn't work anymore and you need a break or stop doing what you actually love completely because otherwise you'll just break down. Get well soon Joshua!

    You could also go one step further and actually dub your videos in other languages. Popular youtubers miss out on so many people for whom English is not their first language, or people who aren't that comfortable consuming content in English. I'm building a tool called TransDub that will let great youtubers dub and caption their videos in multiple languages automatically using AI models (and yes, SRTs are included), and I hope it helps somebody with great content reach more people :) Thanks for showing people this!

    I bought one this week and have been stress testing it. By default, it's already a beast. I’ve never seen the CPU climb above 60°C, and it’s hard to make it overheat even if you reduce the fan kick-in threshold. I didn’t know they had a list of supported SSDs, but I’ve already ordered one. I placed it in, and it worked just fine, even though it was from a lesser-known brand. The only annoying part was doing the bottom two screws with the SSD hat, but other than that, it's pretty easy to assemble. I’ve always wanted something like this since I’m a major PC geek. The price was definitely worth it for me.

    I assume why would wouldn't want two power sources is, the VCC line then becomes a short between the two power supplies that may not be at the exact same voltage level. That may not be an issue in most cases, but if the voltages diverge too much... that is very very bad.

    He may want to start a company with some sales and finance guys. I know, this sounds awful. But in the end it's all about money and clearly the SBC vendors and Rockchip themselves need to pay highly skilled people a fair amouint of money to provide such services. Joshua is the right person, Armbian folks, many others are. It all started years ago out of the joy of cheap new ARM boards but now it's a biiiig business and clearly burning out enthusiasts is awful. I for one won't buy any Rockchip based SBCs anymore.
