Ouch enjoy waiting 20min per website. Why not just use a vpn

I bought one from ED back in the day and used it quite a bit.

Ha I wish I had 100k to just spend on a gadget. I ended up starting a very conservative investment for my daughter.

That was me. It wasn't a threat, I had 100k doing nothing, not invested in anything so I was willing to try a new form of investment and maybe speed things up a bit.

PS Vita. With a daedulus direct port getting updates and better each time, (and the pyra who knows when...because the parts have been on hand for months) I am hopeful of full n64 emulation at some point. Additionally Killzone Mercenary looks awesome and has bots. So why not. Might build a...

I'm saying that new users should be aware that even if things are ported to the Pyra now that could stop when ptitseb moves on even if debian continues to exist. 1599401175 The Pandora doesn't either...try using that extensively. I do understand what you are saying, but that argument could...

This thinking is pointless. "At some time in the future the internet could not be usable on the pyra" That statement is basically the same as yours. "At some point in the future there won't be updated ports for the Pyra" You can take that pessimistic view for anything. It literally works...

You could map it to a normal button. I would like scrolling with the dpad

It's also a fact that they haven't.

Yes I think it will continue to work. - Authentication of software stack is through widevine, which comes from a chromebook image - If Netflix decided to change it it would effect millions of users - It would also piss off Google There are a lot of "coulds" in your post. Aliens "could"...

I mean with widevine extracted from a chromebook image and SW decoding, it has worked for 4 years on my pi. Only breaking chrome images would prevent it. And literally as long as there is a kodi build on the Pyra, it WILL work. Here is the addon github...

It's interesting to me. In the davesha thread people are bending over backwards regarding led color for the exceedingly rare colorblind use case (most cases are not anywhere extreme enough to completely not see those colors). Yet you want to eliminate a use case that most of the population has...

eh I'll believe it when I see it at this point. I mean the Pyra will get here but i don't think it will be in 2 months.

Nice. I'm waiting on my pinephone i ordered about a month ago now that a keyboard is on the horizon. Love the Cosmo Communicator hardware but the software is so buggy I can't deal with it anymore. At least the pinephone is opensource.

That is a pretty interesting actually. How old is your mom if you don't mind sharing? I'm curious because my parents were pretty old when personal computers became a thing and Windows computers were the norm which is what drives my parent's fixation, it's what was available then and they knew...

To me, a few years is stable and still acceptable. $35 for a pi, $5 for a 16GB SD card for OS and programs my parents use, I'll give them an external harddrive. You can burn through a lot of SD cards and years before approaching the cost of a low end desktop not to mention the size reduction...

Agreed. My comment about the Pandora running off an sd card was based on programs being on the sd and read/writes to and from the sd. 1597804672 So "cheap-ass" isn't being derogatory and your post not intended to shame? Hmm I addressed your concerns quite clearly, but I'll reiterate: - I can...

This is why I'm with Epic on this one. If anything is a monopoly it's the app stores, and Apples app store especially

What I noticed, interestingly enough because of the Pandora, is that a swap partition or a swap file definitely increased the corruption/failure of SD cards which makes sense given the ram on it and the computing requirements of today. I just didn't think about it until it happened to me. Also...

My dad plays solitare and mine sweeper and browses the web (turbotax is the deal breaker). My mom use a chromebook to video chat. Oh yeah, I bought their current computers also. There is no point in a high powered computer. As far as support....You must be daft. Of course I do. I even made a...
