As far as I see it, the only benefit is being able to set up someone with pairing their device with just a login, like all commercial IoT devices do. Log in with an account on both ends and you're done. This will be more necessary as IPv6 becomes mandatory. No need to learn how to do port...

Have one in hand yet, Bryan?

Congratulations, John!

Nice that they added the HDMI adapter to as a new level with the Pocket CHIP and CHIP. I've switched mine so I can either have it be portable or have it running behind anything HDMI.

Mesquite? I guess they don't know much about smoking meat.

This is really neat. If I had just waited I could have spent the same amount and had a warranty! :P

I backed it at $59 because even if it doesn't get used for this project, it'll be a kickass handheld computer for my daughter in a year. The Pocket Chip looks like a very intriguing GameBoy emulation device.

Awesome John. I'd send you all of my parts just to finally get my thing done, even though I want to do it myself, but it sounds like you're plenty busy so I will just have to get down to it. If only my garage had air conditioning. I need to set it up like Tony Stark's lab.

Post some high resolution pictures of the front and back of your board and someone might be able to help. Sorry for your meat loss :(

This has got to be one of the weirdest hardware bugs ever: http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=99042

Have you see https://osmc.tv yet? Has a bit of promise. I do grant you the SD card bottleneck, but I just need it to load the OS into memory and do the rest over gigabit or 802.11n/ac LAN.

Well, I didn't mean for this project, but for other things where Windows-centric developers will gravitate to. I count myself as one of them. I'd like to see garden and lawn automation complete with moisture sensors, for one. I also think that Windows 10 might be a pretty killer media center on...

Exactly. This is nuts. I know they want to keep the price at $35, but at some point you need to bite this bullet and have an integrated wireless stack if you are going to be a part of the IoT. I'm sure they could do it at $5 or less on top of the current board price. Have you guys signed up for...

Why, why no integrated WiFi? So silly.

Guess I am being that stupid, I will just have to try it and see what fails :)
