Does that affect the warranty like setting force_turbo=1 does? overclocking does not void the warranty. Neither does setting turbo. You dont need to install freq utilities either. Raspbian already has it all built in including a thermal utility. You can also change your governor, and even the freq ...

Show me where overclocking the pi3 voids warranty. Just because there are no raspi-config overclock presets, doesn't mean overclocking isn't supported, or that doing so voids manufacturer warranty.

Using hdmi_blanking=1 can completely freeze or crash the system with certain applications (omx-based), if they are started when the screen is turned off. My pi3 with the jessie build and monitor are both off at same time always, and start up at same time (via surge protector on/off switch), never h...

For those who are tired of the screen blanking, and want to actually turn off their monitor and put it into a power save mode, and/or want to enable lockscreen capability on their pi3 (pi2?), I just finished putting it all together. If you used xscreensaver, you know it sucks, this uses Light-Locker...

Since when? That is news to me. (but even if that is true, it is just $35 in any event....which is a tank of petrol/gas)

Hi, maybe you or someone else would know the answer on the question: "How to trigger locking or blank screen with a keyboard shortcut"? You know, the same as works on M$ when you hit Windows+L, or Ctrl+Alt+L on Ubuntu-like distros? I tried to search the answer on that question, but apparently I cou...

Isnt the newest chromium (V49?) the broken/buggy one? 48.0.2564.82 appears to be very stable, and is a current release 2016 version is it not? https://www.google.com/search?q=48.0.2564.82&oq=48.0.2564.82&aqs=chrome..69i57.684j0j4&client=ubuntu&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=122&ie=UTF-8#q=chromium+48.0.2564...

You shouldn't promote those instructions because they are end of life. V48 is available in the new repo still and you can downgrade like any normal tepo, just ask Google. But the issues in v49 are so small that its not even worth using an older version. Isnt the newest chromium (V49?) the broken/bu...

The Pi3 needs cooling, that turned out very fast … Really? Mine runs cooler than my oldest model B.

...this morning it came true: my Elephant Pi ran cpuburn-a53 for over 1 hour, only PASSIVELY (=no fan) cooled, with temperature between 77 and 79°C. No throtteling!..sysbench runs at 53°C for 1 hour. Can it conquer cpuburn-a53 with a slight ARM overclock (1250)? In any event, that is 17C higher tha...

Chrome is basically Chromium. Chromium is the open-source web browser project from which Google Chrome draws its source code. The browsers share the majority of code and features, though there are some minor differences in features and they have different licensing. I didnt use the same code as you ...

If the pi2 burning up sdcards, then I would say not much (life left).

Iot isn't written for the pi3. Lots of stuff doesn't work at this time

Or you can just look here for fan/heatsink cooling ideas, and testing to see if you are adequately cooled and stable. https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=144391&p=952371#p952371 Includes "howto" install and use the following: sdbench memtester sysbench stress cpuburn-a53 linpack

I ordered hdmi to dvd-d cables on ebay. Will that work?

I am using an HDMI to DVI-D cable, works fine for me. I didn't have to do any configuration in /config.txt for it.

how do you convert the keyboard input to standard US,

Default US keybord → XKBLAYOUT="us"

Code: Select all

It looks like in the U.S. we have them supplied from both PRC and UK. It depends on where you buy it, or it may be a matter of timing and shipments. I bought the first RPi3 from Adafruit and the box and board both say "Made in UK". About 3 weeks later I bought another RPi3 from MCM, and the box and...

So no antivirus is needed, because apps, and the OS aren't installed locally and are cloud based only? Yeah, I don't personally like that idea. Good luck though.
