Article Summaries:

  • Quick update: What’s going on? The PINE64 community has been silent for months because regular update authors are overwhelmed by other commitments, though activity remains high. A new update team is forming, and a fresh community post is expected soon. The Pine Store now accepts USD Coin via Coinbase, addressing long‑standing requests for crypto payments. The community will resume bi‑annual meetups; the next one is in Warsaw on August 20, with a lunch at Hala Gwardii. Members are encouraged to attend and join the #offtopic chat for details. The post thanks several contributors for their help with updates.
