How it should work, combining the Fn + right nub scrolling, most of this is a repeat of what I said above. But - I had forgotten about the not so little extra that comes with right nub = scroll and how it can combine with Fn to be insanely powerful for navigation and device functionality. Left...

And consumers who dislike those hypothetical or maybe someday real scenarios can choose to not subscribe to Netflix. The balance is maintained. Examples: I chose not to subscribe to HBO anymore because HBO MAX is not available on Roku. I stopped my Hulu subscription for now because I just...

Actually, this thread has maintained an abnormally high level of civility these last few days. Mostly people checking in to say they are still here and a few others welcoming them back.

Which, as I understand it, is included under the H.264 that the OMAP5432 "supports", though there is likely a kernel mismatch by now.

For you quiet ones - hope we've all kept you well entertained during the wait! I'm glad to see so many more people checking in - and that the pre-orders are still at a strong level for initial launch.

Yes, I get the whole, "FREEDOM!," argument. You can scream about it all you want. But - content producers and owners also have the right to limit unauthorized usage of and to try to make money off of the content that they invested in creating. There is a balance to be maintained between the...

For audio mixing and whatnot, a person would still want to run multiple USB mic controllers - likely through a powered hub connected the Pyra's USB 3.0 OTG port - which is a lot of cables and wires going to a tiny screen - which means that said audio engineer should likely get themselves a big...

Right now we have a temporary solution where the right mouse left / right does left / right mouse click. Yes, I know this is how it is / was on the Pandora. Yes it was a compromise back then and still is. Left nub = mouse movement. Having the left nub click = right mouse click enables...

Yes. It has been months and I'm doing some recall here that could be subject to mental error, but to my recollection: Booting from eMMC took about 35 seconds to password prompt. Booting from left SDXC took about 45 seconds to password prompt. Booting from the internal microSDXC took about 42...

Something that I found helpful on my e-reader was to eliminate all margins. No point in having screen real estate gobbled up by empty space. Side-by-side text on a 6" screen is going to be -really- tiny. In this Pyra as e-reader use case, maybe it would be better to flip the Pyra screen to...

Putting aside all the freedom arguments, etc. Netflix is unlikely to work unless we can get a -full- build of the Chrome browser. Chromium works for normal browsing, but Netflix requires the DRM that is only present in the Chrome browser to work. However, if someone is able to make the full...

I actually plan to, once we have a 'stable' OS and bootloader, do just the opposite of what you describe. The internal eMMC will have a full OS with utilities and whatnot on it. For regular use, I'll hold a shoulder button and boot into an internal 1TB microSDXC card. I have done some initial...

I'm still wishing for the same version of Vulture that we had on the Pandora to get ported to the Pyra. The Pandora could run Vulture for ~14 hours straight at low-mid brightness (Vulture uses hardly any CPU). For those unfamiliar with it - Vulture is an isometric graphical overlay on top of...

Anbox looks pretty promising! Note to whoever finds the time and inclination to bring this to the Pyra - please set it up so it can be installed multiple times and run in separate instances. Why? I want one android sandbox / container running for work apps and one for games. But - yes - that...

So, thinking about this. I have microSDXC to USB 2.0 card readers that sequester the card -inside- the USB port. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XTR64ZV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Using that concept, could it theoretically be possible to design a USB camera roughly...

Not to co-opt anyone's symbols, but using a simple 'rainbow' pattern should suffice pretty well. Combining Indigo and Violet into purple as most human eyes have trouble distinguishing one from the other without the other as reference. Red <= 5% Orange > 5 and <= 15% Yellow > 15% and <= 25%...

There is a lingering problem with relying on funkeymonkey for the mappings though. Funkeymonkey only kicks in after the graphical desktop launches. If you're ever booting straight to a command prompt, many of the Fn layer keys are missing mappings. My thought is that every symbol printed on...

I'm assuming that this is envisioned as a kid friendly game. Side scroller. Starts with no spots - finds them along the way. Spots stop monsters. Spots can be assembled into staircases / bridges /etc. Different levels have different numbers of spots to find / use in creative ways. D-pad =...

Hmm. You might want to be more specific in that. Right now, pretty much every key on the keyboard has a Fn layer mapping. However, there is a (nearly) entire layer of the keyboard without maps. Fn+Shift (the two left shoulders together) + nearly any key in the keyboard area = should be able...
