IMHO Craigx put a bit of a hex on kickstarter. I did make a kickstand for my Pandora. Out of folded paper and masking tape. KS and IGG come with a huge heap of problems though. You have to know how long before final units ship and not be wrong by much, or people freak the fuck out. Each...

Yeah the Pyra will definitely be a LOT better at tab-happy browsing and things like Facebook if that's your cup of tea. Pandora slows down a LOT when doing that in Pale Moon. Personally, I like that the Pandora forces me to finish one thing before I start another, but yeah for most people Pyra...

Personally I don't share this multi-tasking craze. I am only one person and have only one monitor/keyboard/mouse and only do one thing at a time, generally. The difference with something like the Pandora vs the Pyra is simply that you have to save and exit what you are doing prior to doing...

Pandora, not Pyra. 256MB of RAM. Works great.

Lots. Today I woke up and played some Gran Turismo 2 (PSX) on my Pandora for a couple of hours, then I plugged in the TV-Out and the usb receiver for my wireless keyboard and mouse, and played Diablo 2 for a few hours. Now I'm reading this website and replying using Pale Moon, and when I'm...

The trick to bitcoin is solar and wind power. My friend has invested quite a bit into green energy and produces much more than his household uses. Using the excess electricity to mine bitcoins has been generating him quite a nice pile of money on the side, basically for free. At this point he...

Perhaps it's my ignorance, but I've had many problems with Android and IOS. I've always wanted a phone with a true Linux OS on it. When I first heard of Android, I read an article about how Google was building a Linux-based OS for smartphones and was very excited at the idea. The resulting...

What I want is a mobile GPU that can run all full OpenGL versions native rather than just GLES. Better x86 Emulation or a native x86 CPU could add more games too if it's worth the tradeoffs, I didn't mean to start yet another lin/win debate, anyone that has spent a lot of time on both will...

Most of the people I know about that want a Pyra want it for things the GPD Win 2 cannot do. Plus anyone forward thinking. Pyra is modular, GPD Win 2 is not. I will buy a Pyra with the expectation of not needing to buy another entire handheld computer again in a few years. Also I don't Windows.

While Project 1999 would be excellent on a handheld, I'm not willing to Windows to do it, so Pyra for me. Also the Pyra 2 will be much cheaper than the Win 3 with likely comparable ability, since it's just a SoC upgrade. In fact I'd expect Pyra upgrades to become more popular with each SoC...

I had a friend who didn't believe me when I told him to invest in bitcoin years ago. So I did it for him and bought him one physical bitcoin (leilana) back when a bitcoin was worth around $50. Now that physical bitcoin is worth $8000 and he's made a further $80,000 via investing over the last...

"the rhymes were getting shady when you reached week 80" ok lets help him with future ones. Sillier the better. Under the gun on week 81 THROW A SHOE AT WEEK 82 chop down a tree at week 83 DONT CALL ME A WHORE on week 84 them turkeys don't jive on week 85 MY NAME IS TRIX AND IT'S WEEK 86 (ok...

HASTY DOES NOT RHYME WITH EIGHTY!!! Good updates though.

That is really weird. Have you tried plugging it into miniUSB for charging rather than the barrel jack? Other than that I'd ping @notaz, as he knows more about the charging chip than anyone. Dropping into IRC might be a decent idea too, I've gotten a lot of great advice in the IRC channel...

That's strange! This is a bit of an odd place to post a support request but, try the following commands in a terminal (on your Pandora of course): cat /sys/class/power_supply/bq27500-0/capacity cat /sys/class/power_supply/bq27500-0/capacity_level cat /sys/class/power_supply/bq27500-0/present...

Yep, and here's how that works: When you set your mobile device to a high clock rate, what you are actually changing is the maximum speed your device is allowed to reach at peak usage. When you do something CPU-intensive, such as compiling a large program (say, Xorg), that device will reach...

What is the surprise? This is the expected behavior of any mobile CPU. They don't go full speed non stop without getting too hot and throttling down. This is normal. I expect them to get the throttling worked out to be smooth and intelligent, but if you are expecting to go 1.5GHz for an hour...

Luckily ED has done this before and is intimately familiar with the process of bringing a handheld electronic device to market. Also, luckily, many of us have done this preorder and wait thing before and are intimately familiar with the process of bringing a handheld electronic device to...

Why would you uninstall Super Mario Bros???

I had trouble specifically with those two games (CTR and Tekken 3) on my Raspberry Pi 2 originally, but updating to a newer version of PCSXR solved it. Edited to add: Actually I just remembered even after updating and CTR working well, Tekken 3 still randomly had lagg issues. If I remember...
