This part is awful. I bought this a while back: https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Ox64

It also has instructions for how to flash it(including picoprobe) on their site instead of a discord.

Finally - last time I looked - none of the peripherals were supported(including USB) on the chip and the last commit on their kernel repo was 2023. Also the wifi barely worked.

I had an XPS laptop purchased around 2020. It was a very well spec-ed machine on paper and worked reasonably well. It just did not hold up. 1. Bulging battery - replaced 2. USB-C charging blew up the charge controller - laptop completely unable to charge - replaced motherboard 3. USB-C charging blew up the charge controller again (~6 months later)

#3 was out of warranty and I had just changed companies so it went into the trash. It lasted 3 years tops.

I also have a dell ultrasharp 4K monitor that had to be replaced under warrant within ~1 year of purchase and I am just waiting for it to go again now that it is out of warranty.

Dell seems to have had reasonable service(in-warranty) but their stuff is always breaking down.

I have had several macbooks. Each lasted ~10 years+.
