PINE64 Calls Time on the Linux Hardware Market, Ceases Production Until the AI Bubble Bursts Sky-high component prices have killed off PINE64's single-board computers, phones, and tablets, but the microcontroller lines remain intact.

I am doing the same! I have been jailbreaking PS4 for few years and Modded Warfare is where I learned about the LG TV jailbreak

It's totally possible! Check it at https://cani.rootmy.tv/. There are multiple exploits, search around

It's a modest ARM CPU, I wouldn't rely on it for a router but it can run Rpi Hole! Also Home Assistant integration, I use the TV remote to control LEDs/lights around the apartment

I feel you, that's exactly why I was using only monitors before! I got convinced to go for this as an acceptable compromise with much more control than some proprietary backend.

What I didn't mention is that I specifically looked for older TV on the second hand market to find a hackable model.

I mean, I didn't wanted to buy a brand new one anyway, it's very expensive and I don't need latest AI features. I found a year old model with firmware that was listed as supported by the jailbreak at the time

For a hacker news article, it misses the crucial option - hacking a smart TV! I have LG OLED jailbroken using rootmy.tv, it was pretty trivial. It's basically a linux computer with a huge screen, you can customize it, SSH into it, map any commands to the remote, etc.

Before I only used monitor, simple DP/HDMI input is all I wanted. But being able to take full control of the tv and connect it with other devices in the house I would normally get Rpi for is pretty convenient!

It's not actually pruning, the full node is really around 1TB. That 18TB number comes from old naive design for an archive node. Archive is basically cached state after each historical block. The 1.1tb full node can generate all this data by executing blocks and the current generation of archive nodes can store it around 3TB instead of 18TB.

Interesting, I am doing exactly the same thing with GrapheneOS and never had a problem. If you have a Pixel, I would strongly recommend to consider Graphene a degoogling it. You can also install via Fdroid or Obtainium and I don't see how their apps could be supported in Google Play
