This is armbian. But the o-pi's video is broken with horribly sick color 
rendition, useing the same hdmi cable and dvd-i adapter that the r-pi 
running x displays a great picture with.  But the display update rate is 
about 2 frames a second on the r-pi, it just doesn't have the ponies to 
run x and linuxcnc.  The o-pi is much much faster, but the colors onn 
this are unusable.

And when I tried to open a dispute, with the target being getting a good 
o-pi, their dispute form will not take the button clicks to enable the 
submission. I even went to the trouble of making a 220 megabyte video, 
as the page requested, showing the defective video, but the submit 
button, while responding to the click, does not feed it back to 
aliexpress/alibaba so I can open the dispute.

It's only $44.47, and that will not affect the height of my ladder 
against the side of the hog. But this list will recall I bitched about 
them once before.  But it will NOT happen again, they are now on my 
shitheads list. I just checked with my bank, and they can't protest it 
either.

I like the idea of the o-pi, and may even see if I can find one on this 
side of the pond I can buy as it will shrink the control structure by 
quite a few feet of wire, and the nominally 1 cubic foot of the dell 
computer.

Really, TJP, its is up to them to make the web site usable, and it is 
not, unless of course you want to buy something, that works perfectly. I 
do not believe that is an accident.
