Wait, my classic Pandora has 256GB of RAM!? Wow, I should stop bothering with swap! On topic, my classic unit is also in need of repairs :(. My microphone doesn't work, the charging port doesn't work, the mini USB port cuts out at the slightest wiggle, the unit reboots with the smallest of...

Lol if I want a cool color I'll paint it. Adding coloring to the machine for a single (or a few) parts is a lot more work than it seems. When we make parts of that size and complexity we make well over 1000 cases in a single day on a single machine, if we had to stop to make a few green cases...

I'm still willing, able, and eager to do the cases myself at the large plastics company I work for (New Berlin Plastics, Wisconsin USA). We have over 50 injection molding machines and do very very complex parts daily. We run 24 hours a day and I've been assured if you went with us I could do...

I would back this project if there was no such thing as a Pyra. As it is I am hoping the Pyra will fill my need for an open, private linux device that can make phone calls and such. A bluetooth earpiece or dialer and some scripts should do the trick quite nicely. I'm actually considering...

Lol! Already got one. :D Don't knock the ponza until you've tried it. It's amazing. That said, you make good points. It's a hipster thing.

There are endless ways. 50 inch rims on your car that spin. Driving around with bass so loud the houses shake everywhere you go (though that's not "inaudible") wearing a fedora sagging pants around the knees driving a Hummer texting while driving wearing sunglasses indoors on purpose...

My bicep tattoo of Tux the linux penguin (holding a 1UP mushroom) is my favorite status symbol and it was free because my brother was learning to tattoo and needed practice. Even cheaper than free was my other favorite status symbol: Not only is it free, but it saves me money on razors and...

lol, get a better job! Wow, why didn't I think of that? Thanks, buddy! I'll just go do that and all of my money problems will be solved!

@EvilDragon & Co I work for a very good and large plastics manufacturer, and would love to help make the Pyra cases. We have lots of injection molding machines and we do designs. I work there 5 days a week and would be operating the machine making Pyra cases myself 8 hours a day and would...

I don't think that guy was really serious. If ED posts: I feel like a million bucks this fine morning! He would respond: ZOMG ED going to take a million bucks from preorderers because he feels like it! Pretty funny troll, but nothing new

Lol @ the troll. Awesome pic!

I use my Bluetooth speaker with my Pandora every day at work for music. It works rather well. There are Bluetooth settings for /etc/asound.conf on the Pandora wiki. To output all sound to the speaker, instead of adding a new section for Bluetooth Audio like the wiki says, I simply alter the...

I figure I'll use it mostly like a beeper (pager) from the 90's. Tell everyone to just text me, and if voice call is required text me their number and I will whip out the headset and call them.

I keep my games on a networked storage drive. As I've always had really good luck with Wine, if there's a Windows version of a game I tend to install that instead (unless of course it has issues with Wine I cannot solve). The reason being my girlfriend uses Windows 7 on her PC because League...

On the PulseAudio topic... I resisted PA for years in favor of ALSA. Every time I tried to use PA I ran into issues. However, within the last few months, I started using things that had issues with ALSA. Like Brutal Legends through Wine on my Gentoo PC. For whatever reason, the music and the...

that looks more like pacman-on-a-stick than a shark IMO. Also, great news! I don't have enough cash yet so take your time lol. PS. The thread is called Keep Cool! But I have the opposite problem -- I live where it is often extremely cold. Unfortunately, I don't seem to stress my Pandora...

I can personally recommend anything by the brand name ANKER. I've tried many brands over the years and Anker has consistently been high quality chargers, cables, and equipment that does not fail. Not to sound like a commercial, but I have everything from USB charging docks, cords and cables...

Which post about battery life are you referring to? I searched this thread and I see the post above asking for battery life info and a general statement about "better than my phone" but that's it. All the rest of the results for "battery" in this thread are about the weight (with and without...

Well that's great for you. Other people, of course, have their own perspective. Are others not allowed to ask for details because Grench is satisfied with "it's good"? You seem to be a mite defensive about this. As far as I can tell, nobody is attacking the choice of screen, merely asking...
