I just used my mobile phone charger and its been working fine for weeks, but then I don't own an iPhone with its crazy connector just a standard usb micro charger that all my phones usually use

... or buy a micro usb connector to apple 30 pin and get the best of both worlds :)

Gah!!!!!!!!!! The power supplies that I ordered aren't even close to being correct. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Does anyone have a part number for the correct power supply that works with the B revision?

Ouch! Tough luck!

Part number? Sure: HNP06-MicroUSB

No idea sorry but I plugged mine into the routers usb port and it's been fine if that helps.

No no, not good! Stop it!

... or buy a micro usb connector to apple 30 pin and get the best of both worlds :)

Lol... or just connect a regular micro USB to USB cable to the iPhone charger wall adapter? :p

Umm...the documentation that comes with the Pi says specifically to NOT do this.

Hallelujah... Another one who read the documentation! :p

Got bored waiting, too? Wanted to kill some over-excitement and calm yourself by reading all you can beforehand, too? :laugh:

I did find this though: http://elinux.org/RP...#Power_adapters

It turns out that my old cell phone charger and my Touchpad chargers will work. SCORE!

Uh huh, that's the case for pretty much most smartphone chargers, provided they have the same port/you have an adapter.

No wonder the touchpad charger will work. :)

Oh... don't see much use for that myself, thats what VPNs are for!

Um nooooooo, i think you missed the point of the site!

PirateBox is a self-contained mobile communication and file sharing device. Simply turn it on to transform any space into a free and open communications and file sharing network.

How have you guys found this guy for 1080p playback?

I'm really enjoying my XBox as a media center except that it won't handle mkv or DTS down-mixing :(

I'm just wondering how you guys have found it before I go and buy one >.<

Watched Advent Children Complete in 1080p with DTS audio the other day on it using Raspbmc and it worked amazing! However, with the new build supporting hardfp we should see a 35% improvement in h.264 related stuffs.

Afaik there shouldn't be any difference, h.264 is offloaded to the GPU so hard or soft float wouldn't matter?

'What does it say not to use the routers USB port for ? (Don't have mine yet )'

I've found that rubbish. I can power mine from my PC (if it can charge an ipod or ipad that you've got at least 5V~1Amp output) and a 0.5A dictaphone device, both power it FINE, even running slightly overclocked, no stability issues.

I've been powering the RPi from my TV and it's very unstable compared with mains power.

I guess they know what they're talking about, I've got a MicroUSB Nokia charger 5v 1200mA just sitting doing nothing because I use the PC to charge my phone so it will be put to good use

But the router USB was my original idea too

      Chrome is Google's commercial web browser product; it consists of their proprietary features (Googlified everything including profile sync) plus their chromium project barebones web browser. Google developers control the chromium project. The chromium project is the "core" for the web browser product from other vendors including Microsoft Edge (their own proprietary features), Opera (their own features), Brave (their own features), etc... The "downstream" teams at Microsoft, Opera, Brave, etc., can either integrate their original MV2-supporting code into future builds, or they can integrate chromium wholesale and simply add-on their own features/functionalities -- their 'current' build pipeline, so to speak. THIS is why changes at the chromium project affect so many products besides only Google's commercial Chrome browser. -- Edit to add: The chromium project is open-source, and is the piece that's Google's code contribution to the W3C and world wide web at large; there are no licensing fees for others to use the code in their own products... which is what they do. Other browser engines do exist (Firefox's for example) but it's nearly impossible to have both engines bundled into the same 1 browser product.

      You're comparing settler colonies to colonized war torn nations. It's easy to become the richest by coming in and stealing other people's land, culture and resources.

      ABP has become "old news" when MV3 started rolling out. They've gone downhill and is now simply irrelevant..... in my experience.

      About two years ago, I switched to Brave and haven't looked back.

      FWIW StatCounter has been trash for over 25+ years! Back in the day (circa 2000 and GeoCities pre-Blogger era), it was useful to paste a number on your webpage indicating how many visitors you had. In the ensuing 25+ years, they've grown in reputation and changed their ways... but their overall consumer value has remained abysmal. Serious marketing agencies only cite StatCounter when there's literally no other sources available to support any marketing claims! They are the absolute lowest threshold serious companies use to push any sort of narrative about this-or-that happening. Besides their credibility being what it is, they are forever subject to quality issues. They're so bad that my DNS-level ad-filter prevents me from even viewing their main website! HA!
