Hi Klaus, I do appreciate your humor and share much of it, but also have some sympathy for the poor sods chasing through the archives trying to figure out what they're doing wrong. BTDT Back around mid-summer the Pi3 was working extremely well. It really looked like Tier 1 material. Then, I think in roughly September, problems started cropping up. All appeared to be software initially. I think most of them _were_ software. At the time. Then I noticed a Pi2 acting up. Eventually it failed completely, with a bad power supply. New supply, it's fixed. Took a long time to sort that out. The Pi3 making mischief now is slightly younger than the Pi2. Both have been powered on 24/7, mostly running buildworld/kernel. Now the Pi3 is behaving suspiciously like the Pi2. And, the supply voltage is at the lower limit of acceptable. Didn't check when I got it, so there's no basis for comparison. It may be that a sound objection to the Pi is poor quality in little things like power supplies, cables and connectors. Apologies if I'm belaboring the obvious.... bob prohaska
