Well, given I can’t demonstrate Kitten (https://codeberg.org/kitten/app) on a PineBook Pro due to lack of HDMI out, I just ordered a CrowPi L since I have a Raspberry Pi 4 lying about unused.

Got the advanced kit – want to demonstrate how you can do Small Web dev on this thing. And for education… imagine kids making a web site that displays sensor readings (humidity, temperature, etc.) :)
(Note: this is in no way an endorsement of spycop-hiring Raspberry Pi Foundation.)
…And on that last note, I’ve been trying to find alternatives to Raspberry Pi – would be very interested if folks have any leads… especially to boards that can be used for education.
@aral Well, Pine themselves propose devellopement boards which may be used for education purposes i suppose. I haven't tested any however.
@poorpocketsmcnewhold Yeah, but having two PinePhones and a PineBook Pro with sketchy-at-best software support and core features not working does not make me want to alpha test anything else for them on my own dime at the moment. I’d love to see a bit more investment in the whole experience from them before I reconsider. My room is starting to look like a junkyard of promising-but-not-quite-there open tech as it is :)
