I'm interested in both the full kit and just a board (for an internal mod). Is the finished board available for purchase, or just the full kit?

Apologies if this is answered in the sales thread; I don't have permission to view it.

I just got mine! I'm having a problem though, and it's likely because I'm having a brain fart... how do I get the battery into the holder for it? The on/off switch kinda blocks the battery from being able to slide into the holder.

Edit: lolnvm I clipped a bit of the battery holder and now it works with a bit of force

The battery goes in from the other side opposite the USB port ;)

EDIT: Unless Mr. @electronrancher stayed up too late and soldered the battery holder on backwards. :rofl:

I think that's what happened! There's no way it could fit in the other side :rofl: it's all good though

No, really? That's hilarious I'm terribly sorry! I don't think I could have set one of the boards to -180degree position, but I must have! I'll go check the placer setup right now.
@Kupie, please PM me with your address and I'll mail you another lol. You can keep that one, being that you already made it work-nice job BTW!

Naw it's all good! Not like I'll need to swap the battery out like...within a year or two. I think it's hilarious :D

Just FYI - I will start flashing the devices with hekate 4 by default. In my opinion, it's the best loader now and outclasses SXOS with it's new multiboot ability!

Now if Hekate v4 could boot SX OS... I know it's coming in due time.

Received my units. They look great. I'll try printing out that case this weekend.

Is there such a thing as a micro-usb male to usb-c male adapter? Or is a 6-inch cable the best anyone's found so far?

Glad they arrived and you're happy!

Personally, I like a cable for the stress-relief aspect. I have not checked aliexpress recently, but if it's anywhere - it's there! I'll take a look and let you know what I find

    It's important for society to be healthy and educated. If those things can't happen because all of the institutions that prop up those industries make it unattainable for all but a small portion of society, then your society is largely going to be disease ridden, dying, and uneducated in very short order.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    I agree it's not easy for the average American, let alone the ones below that average. Free / cheaper healthcare is much more important I think than free university education.
    Of course like @mthrnite said, why not both. But I doubt both will get solved at once, and surely healthcare is top priority.

    Although diet is largely education, people don't need to go to university to learn what's healthy and what's not,
    it's the whole country, big corporations and advertising that is to blame for leading most of the population to believe that poptarts and froot loops are healthy to feed a child

    i would think the population knows better but with food deserts and abject poverty, sometimes a poptart gonna have to do.

    As someone who went through the grade school system in the US some time within the past 30 or so years, not nearly enough is done to promote and educate on how to eat healthy in a way that is feasible to do on a regular basis and also affordable. Eating healthy is, comparatively, fucking expensive. So is eating unhealthy, but in many cases eating unhealthy is more affordable than eating healthy
