Stumbled on this while trying to get Chromium Media Edition to play Netflix in TwisterOS:

Pi now has official widevine (Netflix in browser) support:

This worked for me on a fresh install of the latest raspbian or whatever the gently caress they're calling it now.
Edit: If anyone gets Netflix running on their pi with a non-shite vsync please tell me ur secrets

drat I just found out that SATA hats exist for the Pi 4, but they're out of stock everywhere.

I went to buy a soldering kit to attach something to the Pi Zero's pins.
Apparently there's resin-based and non-resin solders? Is this anything I need to pay attention to regarding the Pi?

Also, i3 Manjaro on the Pi 4 is pretty cool. The download for it wasn't available on OSDN, and as I type this I realise I downloaded an image from a random site without verifying its checksum :cheers:

Rosin is flux for soldering, and rosin core solder has its own flux. It's convenient if you only do occasional soldering, versus getting a separate thing of flux. OTOH it's less controllable, people who do soldering on the tiny circuit board components IIRC tend to use flux pens for precise application.


OTOH if I wanted to attach something directly to a Pi's GPIO pins, I'd consider getting some little crimping terminal connectors. Which I've just now learned are called "dupont connectors" -- I've never had reason to seek them out, because I have scavenged bits in my bin of leftover PC parts junk.

You don't really need the crimping tool if you're just doing a few of them, some needle nose pliers get the job done.

Thanks for the info! I'm completely new to soldering so I'd never heard of any of this.
