Hello I'm planning to buy a GPD Win as something temporary while waiting for Pyra... but I definitely want to have Linux on it, I've seen some Users here have Linux on GPD Win. So I have a few questions: 1. Can I just boot the e.g. Debian from USB stick, dd the drive to image on this stick and...

Well, in my country people talk about immigrants... in other countries :). Many Ukrainians come to Poland, and as in every community some are working hard (maths professor in my workplace is from Ukraine) some not. There definitely are conflicts, but they rarely go to the media because they are...

You had such telephone-text system in Sweden like German BTX / French Minitel? Recently I bought a first Power Mac G3 in a plastic form, which completes my collection in this field:

Got two "computers" to my old computer collection, from a man who was cleaning his garden shed: It came out that these are not computers, one is some mainframe terminal, second is telephone Minitel-like terminal built around microcontrollers. After quick cleaning, repairing (power supply...

Happy birthday!

I'm doing similar thing. But the problem is that if you make your "e-personality" (your comments, forum posts, published creations) dependent on monopoly such as FB, it may lock your account and e.g. ask for... scan of ID document! Yes, it happened before. ID is full of sensitive data, you can...

And this is the reason why I asked about it. If we have weaker plastic, we have to investigate why cracks happened. Was it overstress or fatigue. If it happened because it was put in a pocket and squeezed, it's not a problem (typical overstress - usually durability improves with better plastic)...

Just for curiosity, where the cracks have started? Figuring out why they happened (fatigue/overstress/cyclic impacts from loose components) may give interesting insights to the final device development.

Thanks for update, ED! So it will be impossible to control GSM module from Linux by e.g. stuffing AT commands to some /dev/... ? It must be Android? Android, parasitizing on "open source" opinion, is not in spirit of open source and one of the most disastrous mean of "vendor lock-in" strategy...

And now You entered a nice paradox. This will slow things down only if we talk about blind transfer of data. The "knowledge density" of such media is relatively high, comparing to modern Internet. OK, let's stop the offtopic :D

Yes, that could be it, so not a religion. In my case it was not caused by attacking anyone that doesn't meet standards, but anyone who doesn't fit in any standard - this goes with political ideologies - you try to mix between groups, you become enemy of all and not many people want to try...

Nope. There are some things which just cannot be explained now, cannot be easily understood at all, or can be with probability so rough that they fit into "impossible" category. Some people may live not bothering about it, some people not. The second group may choose different ways to understand...

About the topic, I think that the religion is something like an operating system for working with people and with things too hard/illegal to explain - these are definitely false, but logically sound in their own-created ecosystem ideologies to make people easier to govern and predict and make...

The most funny myth about warming is that the air has a border control between countries and if you outsource "dirty" manufacturing to some other country it will magically not affect the environment :).

I don't know how QEMU displays things, but I remember that running BOCHS with Win3.11 was terribly slow even on fast PCs. The problem was not the CPU, emulated or real, but virtual VGA giving maximum 10-15fps. If QEMU does similar thing instead of "borrowing" WINE's drawing functions, I can't...

RAM... If only RAM... I look at the Kernel list for updates regarding porting, and I see recently posts about something called AESS, which works with firmware coming from generator, loadable at boot-up (we had no sound?). If we have generator so we can mess with what the chipset can do, how...

Me too. And the words are not a problem. When I was in France, I could walk to bakery and ask with simple words for 5 cakes (breads?) I wanted and buy them, it sounded awfully, but it was possible. I can roughly translate error messages of French software I use everyday. The problem in my case...

I see many old consoles, not many old computers. Were there 8-bit micros too? In some countries retro gaming is more console-oriented, in some more microcomputer-oriented (Like Spectrum or C64).

Bonjour!* I think that when bigger production will start, there will be more users interested with Pyra. And there certainly are some people who will wait, get reviews from ones who pre-ordered, and then purchase. They also want their Pyras. There is a chance, especially that portable devices...

Finally the memory tester works! This is a picture of a development prototype I made: I know that it's not compact and it's not meant to be compact. It's made to introduce modifications easily, not to be enclosed in casing. Tested with all supported DRAM chips except 4116 and a few of TTLs I...
