MINIX NEO Z64 - Could Minix stop giving support and Firmware Updates to their X8-H Units?

Cool story bruh!!!
You'd be able to tell me the major difference with the Minix launcher then wouldnt you? Sticks out like dogs balls so you wouldnt miss it

lol minix launcher didn't change slightly.

Ahh ok, so if there is indeed a leak you have received something lower than beta 9v5.

Why doesnt someone be a hero and leak it publicly?

Ok some of you here may recognize me, I'm the nazi warlord who warns against people posting for ETAs at the official Minix forum.
Just in case some of you dont read up there. Yes we have formed a beta team (whose credentials we did check before recruiting them) It has proven to be (as I long knew it would) a lot more productive than public betas.
The latest beta is pretty much perfect & as Ken has stated, they are just waiting on one more fix for the 4K player and there will be an OTA update. There are Chinese holidays until the 8th so it will not be until after that.
I can tell you that with the latest beta and Minix XBMC video playing is far more superior to my HTPC.
Auto framerate switching is superb, the box itself is fast and as smooth as a babies bum. No lockups, no reboots. I have had it on since I installed the last beta playing videos non stop, local, USB, NAS, online streaming. All perfect!

Yes there were promised ETAs and that should be reviewed in the future because if it was in Minixs hands it would have made it by then. Because of AML & RK being closed source, ALL these box manufacturers rely on them for fixes. They give an ETA to Minix, Minix gives an ETA to customers, AML dont deliver on time, Minix CANT deliver on time.
You also get the OCD people who just like to flash their hardware, I've dealt with it in the PSP hacking scene, the PS3 hacking scene etc.
I take a tough stance against it because it just spreads negativity through my forum, I will also delete religious debate because it does the same thing. Myself and my friends made that forum, we decide the rules.

I bought a Mad Catz M.O.J.O nearly a year ago for about $300AUD, Everyone should know Mad Catz, theyre a multi million dollar company with a rich history spanning about 25 years. It has a tegra 4 so I thought it was going to be the next big thing. I was very much mistaken! We have received 1 update in that time. It didn't even fix the basic issues to make the box somewhat functional. I'm talking about stuff that didnt even need fixing in some of these $20 bargain bin Droid boxes that dont even receive 1 update.
So yeah I take a harsh stance against people begging, whining and threatening Minix.

Please be patient, this update is worth the wait & is not too far away

Could not say it better ..

I quote your post because I know that you minix guys sometimes like to delete it later.

Thank you for the cordial and warm words. This is the handle, which we are accustomed to minix.

In my eyes minix is a myth, but a bad myth (e.g. because of this bad attitudes) and that's why I thought in the past "... it's time to say goodbye ..." and I sold my x8-h and will never buy a minix again... In German we say "you also only cooking with water" but minix does so as if they were something special (e.g. I gave you a hint 1-2 weeks before you find out the problem with the M1 connect parallel to another i/o device to the box but nobody had a look at the log).

But that only my 2 cent..
