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

    • Should Microsoft be forced to stop promoting Edge over other browsers?

      By FBSPL · Posted

      Browser vendors including Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Vivaldi have jointly written an open letter to Microsoft saying enough is enough regarding Edge being pushed on Windows users without consent. Microsoft makes it difficult to change the default browser, promotes Edge throughout Windows 11, and has made the uninstall process unnecessarily complicated compared to other apps. Does anyone have more details on what exactly the open letter demands and whether any regulatory action is being considered? Also curious whether this could lead to antitrust investigations similar to what happened with Internet Explorer back in the day. Would love to hear from anyone following this closely.

      Amen, they are a shady company... they modify my site to remove inline ads and then cry about subscribing to their services, a few things they "bravely" did in recent years: In 2020, Brave was caught automatically appending its own affiliate referral codes to URLs when users typed the web addresses of crypto exchanges (like Binance and Coinbase) into the address bar. Following significant backlash, the CEO apologized and the feature was disabled. In 2023, the company faced criticism after users noticed a paid VPN service was installed on their computers without their explicit consent. TOR Privacy Leak: In 2021, Brave's private Tor tabs were found to be leaking DNS queries to internet service providers, a flaw that was subsequently patched. Passive Cryptocurrency Donations: In early versions of the browser, Brave automatically collected user contributions and held them in a pool to be distributed to creators. If a creator had not signed up to claim their funds within a certain time frame, the process sparked criticism about where the money went.
    • Microsoft AI boss no longer believes that AI will replace human workers

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I think they still believe it but are realizing that those statements created massive backlash and impacted adoption. I personally think AI, if used regularly will give you back about 30% of your time if you are an “information” worker.
