Hmm... that's not how I've interpreted the discussion -- unless I've missed something (which is certainly not impossible!). [Sorry to quote out of context a part of your post that was tangential to its main points, but this is something worth clarifying I think.] My understanding is that: 1)...

It's definitely brown on my display. (But then when I bought this laptop I had to settle for a poor display and poor battery life in order to afford the processing power, RAM, and storage I needed, so I know the colours it produces are extremely unreliable.) I going to go down to the local...

Not yet. But you don't know what will come in the shipping box when your prototype finally arrives!

Lilac Sparkle. That seems like an unreasonable amount of work. My thoughts were that if there are n good units in the first batch made (n ~= 500), then the first m units will be shipped to the prepreorderers who turn their orders into purchases within some reasonable amount of time, and the...

I generally think of microcontrollers and SoCs as complete computers (with memory controller and memory on board) and microprocessors as being just one part of a computer (with an external main memory system). All have one or more CPUs.

Does it float? It has a very amphibious look about it. (Of course if it was green instead of red, I wouldn't need to ask: I'd just _know_ that it floats!)

That's what i said. I think. It's what I meant, anyway! Yes, better for them to have a bit of play in them, than for them to bind against each other. And with a bit of play, how they sit in their sockets at any given moment probably depends on chance to some extent.

Indeed. I had a script at one point that was counting the number of cancellations, but I abandoned it when I realised that even if every cancellation was of an order ahead of mine in the queue, and even if there were 600 good units in the first batch of 500 (no rejects), there was still no hope...

Unless EvilDragon has changed his mind, the first batch will be only 500 units (600 allowing for rejects). I too ordered after 1000 (Around 1010, I think.), so I hope he does change his mind, but I can't really see how he can: IIRC the reasons he gave for 500 were financial ones. Just have to...

This brought back memories of a time (not so very long ago really) when everyone I knew who owned an Apple phone had one with a cracked screen. [I would watch anxiously when I saw them using them, although I never once saw any bleeding fingers.] In that era, several times a day one would hear a...

I agree. I felt that this was the biggest piece of (positive) news on Wally's list. We've been waiting for word of this working for so long that I've been increasingly worried that some problem would crop up preventing it from being achieved without a major delay. It's a great relief to hear...

If you had a time machine you wouldn't go back in time. You'd go forward in time to when the Pyra has been released for a while and all the software goodies are thoroughly polished. You'd get one and bring it back to now so that you'd have your Pyra already.

Ah! I like the idea of a drawer that I can use as a kettle. We'll know we have a truly versatile device when we can use it to make a cup of tea. :)

Just now I think I'd happily take it without a case and stick it all together with duct tape in a sort of Heath Robinson duct tape case.

@EvilDragon: Here (perhaps) are your heatsink sticks: https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/a/advanced-thermal-solutions/extrusion-profile-heat-sinks It says of these sticks that "[a] wide variety of secondary metal fabrication services through ATS' manufacturing services, including...

About 600 Pyras in the first production run, IIUC.

"Slow and steady wins the race" as the proverb goes. And also yields results one can be happier with at the finish line. One question @EvilDragon: Is the test suite for the prototypes already written and ready to run, or is that still on the To Do list? On producing custom heat sinks there is...

Please someone correct me if I've got this wrong, but my understanding is that the first production run is to be only 500 units. (600 minus a big margin for rejects, so likely closer to 600 units than to 500.) For unfortunate souls (such as I) who arrived late to this party, there will be an...

Hmm... that seems to be the only package in the repository with a "License" link, though. (Seems to me it would be better if it were a mandatory part of the metadata, since it is (arguably) the most important piece of information about something one is about to make a copy of by downloading.)...

Thanks TrashyMG and levi. That's a long thread and I haven't read it yet -- maybe my answers are there. It starts off with the assumptions that 1) the reader is familiar with the Pandora and .PND files (sadly, I missed out on the Pandora which makes the discussion a bit harder to follow -- I'll...
