Off-Topic - Tiny Core Lounge / Samsung’s $2200usd Wireless Frame Pro TV Is a Disaster

« Last post by gadget42 on September 08, 2025, 06:06:00 AM »

Samsung’s $2200usd Wireless Frame Pro TV Is a Disaster

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvI0TtwsqX0

In this Samsung Frame Pro review, I explain why the $2,200 “wireless” TV is a disaster: the Wireless One Connect box causes latency, stutters, and constant disconnects, the micro‑HDMI 2.1 port lacks eARC/ARC for soundbars, Wi‑Fi 7/6GHz interference breaks stability, and HDMI‑CEC mangles Art Mode power behavior. Despite the matte panel and convincing Art Mode, the edge‑lit “Neo QLED powered by mini‑LED” display delivers poor contrast, vertical banding, smeary night scenes, and unhinged default picture settings—with no Dolby Vision. Software is painfully slow (TV Plus bloat), setup is infuriating (mounting/stud issues, cable routing), and even Samsung’s S801D soundbar drops audio over Wi‑Fi, forcing a lower‑quality Bluetooth fallback. If you want a main TV, buy an OLED; for an art TV, cheaper Hisense/TCL models are better. Bottom line: Samsung Frame Pro looks like wall art, but as a wireless TV it’s laggy, unreliable, and wildly overpriced.

Programming & Scripting - Unofficial / Re: script to full run all TC pakages from a chroot

« Last post by nick65go on September 08, 2025, 05:24:48 AM »

Here is the script, tested from an Archlinux type distro.

Code: [Select]

!/bin/sh
START="001"
[ -d $START ] || mkdir -p $START/{cpio,ram,tcz}

echo "Download rootfs64.gz from web server"
URL="https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/tinycorelinux/16.x/x86_64/release/distribution_files"
MINI="rootfs64.gz"
[ ! -f $START/cpio/$MINI ] || wget -c -O $START/cpio/$MINI $URL/$MINI

echo "all files stay virgin in tmp RAM"
sudo mount -t tmpfs none $START/ram

echo "extract all files except /dev*"
cd $START/ram
bsdcpio -i -f ^dev  < ../cpio/rootfs64.gz
sudo chown root usr/bin/sudo
sudo chown root:root etc/sudoers

# simulate non-volatile tcedir, colect them in ./tcz
mkdir -p tce dev home/tc
sudo mount --bind ../tcz tce
ln -s /tce etc/sysconfig/tcedir
chmod a+rw tce
cp etc/profile home/tc/.profile

echo "busybox need /proc mounted"
sudo mount -t proc /proc proc
# sudo mknod -m +rw dev/null c 1 3
sudo mount -t devtmpfs --rbind --make-rslave /dev dev

echo enable network in guest/chroot
cp /etc/resolv.conf etc

# to run GUI in guesr when Xorg in host
mkdir tmp/.X11-unix
sudo mount --rbind /tmp/.X11-unix tmp/.X11-unix
echo "export DISPLAY=:0" >> home/tc/.profile
cp /run/user/100/xath* home/tc/.Xauthority
chmod a+r home/tc/.Xauthority

# to run GUI in guest when Wayland in host
mkdir -p run/user/1000
sudo mount --bind /run/user/1000 run/user/1000

sudo chroot . /bin/login -f tcFYI: do not forget to un-mount all mounted folders (dev proc tce run ram etc) when you finish with your chroot.
I think this chroot is lighter than other solutions (maybe not as safely as docker or virtual machine). YMMV.

Programming & Scripting - Unofficial / script to full run all TC pakages from a chroot

« Last post by nick65go on September 08, 2025, 05:12:46 AM »

@Rich and @GNUuser, thank you for your FetchExt.sh
regarding https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?action=post;board=36.0
"Re: Script to download extensions+dependencies on other"

My naive contribution is here for a full running TC from a chroot., not only downloading tczs.
In a chroot we do not need the kernel (vmlinuz) neither its modules.
- So instead of vmlinuz + core.gz (= rootfs.gz + modules.gz) we could use just use roofs.gz
- In a chroot the host kernel (ex: 6.16.x) can be different from original Tc kernel (ex: 6.12.x).
- Plus host user can be (uid=1000, gid=1000) different from default TC user(uid=1001, gid=50), for some protection.

I tested my script using a host with Wayland server. I mounted just just /proc and /dev (no need to mount /sys or /tmp). The downloaded TCZ (running from chroot) will be saved locally on host, so no need to downloaded them again. Basically it functions like a real in RAM tiny-core distro.
tested commands:
- tce (CLI app) to download tc applets (ex:editor, cpanel etc)
- tce-download -wo libXau (testing on-demand is working).
- tce-load -i fluff (working from CLI shell).- fluff, editor, etc (all runs OK)

PS: I will publish the script soon, from another machine.

TCB Q&A Forum / Re: proxy server settings in tinycorelinux

« Last post by Adam Wrangler on September 07, 2025, 09:40:38 AM »

Hey, being behind a proxy just means you need to enter its address and port in your browser or system settings. Both Windows and Mac have simple GUI for that, and browsers like FF also have their own. If you’re new to this, check out some basic guides here.
