Browsing the official reddit I came across a pretty awesome looking Pinecil case and I believe that it is an evolution of an already existing case that I featured in a Newsflash section a few months ago. This one, however, from what I can tell is built more rugged and holds more gear: there is space for the USB-C cable, an integrated soldering iron holder which uses a bearing (super cool), space for two additional tips and the thingy to clean the iron. If you happen to have a 3D printer and are looking for a next project this one should be high up on your list. The STL files can be found [here](https://www.printables.com/model/345083-rugged-multipart-pinecilts100ts80-case-v2).

For those of you who already own a pair of PineBuds Pro and have experienced issues with ANC in the left earbud - I’ve been told at FOSDEM that reflashing the stock firmware fixes the problem. This has been confirmed independently by a number of people at this point so can be considered an established fix. Instructions concerning flashing the firmware and all other pertinent information can be [found on the Wiki](https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PineBuds_Pro#Firmwares). As a side-note, work on the open firmware for the PineBuds Pro is steaming ahead and I’ve been told that it sounds great, so consider giving that a go if you don’t need ANC (which is still WIP on the open firmware)- it can be downloaded from [here](https://github.com/pine64/OpenPineBuds).  

Someone created a USB-C charger for the PineTime. While I can’t necessarily see a reason for substituting the existing cradle for one which accepts USB-C, this is certainly a very cool project from a repairability perspective. That is to say, if your cradle breaks for whatever reason there now is a proof of concept for how one would go about creating a substitute charging solution. Check out the original post and discussion [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/pinetime/comments/yte659/ive_made_a_usbc_charger_for_the_pinetime/)

The OX64 has now been on the market for two months and it already is one of the best selling PINE64 devices. Who would have believed that an inexpensive Linux-capable RISC-V board would garner so much interest? Some early adopters have however complained that the OS flashing process is unclear and undocumented. One of the early adopters going by the handle [Platima Tinkers](https://www.youtube.com/@PlatimaTinkers) has thankfully put in the effort to document the process in the form of a video. The 15 minute-long video is truly great and gives anyone already owning or interested in getting the Ox64 a crash-course in getting it up-and-running. I am including the video below for your benefit.

I’d like to put the spotlight on a few Pinebook Pro releases. For starters, we’re happy to announce OpenMandriva Lx 4.2, a Linux distribution using the package manager urpmi which installs .rpm binaries. This will be available for download shortly from the project’s [sourceforge repository](https://sourceforge.net/projects/openmandriva/files/release/4.2/). It ships with KDE Plasma desktop environment and offers a wide range of default apps to get you going. Please visit [OpenMandriva’s website](https://www.openmandriva.org/#omfooter) for more information about the distribution.

I am also certain that many of you who have been waiting for a new FreeBSD OS image for the Pinebook Pro will be thrilled to hear that a recently released preview image (FreeBSD 13) fixes a keyboard issue that plagued the system on the Pinebook Pro. My knowledge about FreeBSD is highly limited, so rather than me trying to convey the current state of development I strongly suggest you [read through the thread](https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/freebsd-desktop-for-pinebook-pro.78269/) on FreeBSD’s forum prior to downloading the image. From what I gathered, the thread includes instructions on enabling audio and enabling external networking cards. The first entry in the thread includes the download link.

Reddit [user delipunch](https://www.reddit.com/user/delipunch/) shared a cool Pinebook Pro mod, in which they replaced the default passive cooling solution used in the Pinebook Pro with a Peltier module. For those who do not know, the Peltier module achieves cooling by running current through a thermocouple rather than moving air or liquid over a surface to dissipate heat. Prior to the mod, with all cores under full load, the Pinebook Pro would throttle at 75\*C, but with the new cooling solution it doesn’t. This is a very cool mod and while it does look rather complex, and thus unlikely as something many of us could attempt, I’m sure there are some in the community with the technical know-how who will attempt to replicate it.

The Roshambo retro-game console case capable of housing PINE64 SBCs will be making its appearance in the Pine Store in the coming weeks. If you’re into retrogaming, then the Roshambo case features fully functional on/ off and reset switches, a SATA disc connector, and IO pass-through. You can also pick up a pair or matching controllers and a 128GB SSD that imitates a cart.
