Re: Are you a Raspberry Pi-oneer?

I got a Pi B at about July 2013.

It worked greatly until I got a Pi 2. I gave the old Pi B to a friend younger than me in the college. He soon got his Pi 2 after that. I don't know the final fate of that old Pi B.



PS: I can't turn off the red power LED on Pi 3.

Re: RPi 3 SoC at nearly 100 °C, reporting 80 °C

I made a bad joke. Deleted. Thanks to moderators to make those information clear. So Pi 3 is hot, but that's all of it. It's tested for that. Heat sink would help to keep Pi 3 at full speed. But without it, Pi 3 still is solid, just might be slower at sometime. It won't fire, won't blow up. I'm thin...

Re: Reliable USB ethernet for Raspberry PI

I'm using an AX88772B based adapter. USB ID is 0b95:772b. I guess you got that famous DM9601 one, right? :D I did get one of them either. AX88179 should also works. I tried it. ASIX chips seem relatively expensive. You could find a Realtek one, saying RTL8153. I didn't try them, but somebody else did.
