I'm curious why aufs would be desirable, and also what DBP is (a web search for it doesn't turn up much that seems pertinent).

I felt like posting an image to get back into practice for the spring and summer when the numbers will warm up again. 1104:

@levi No need for a smiley there, I think, as the humour in your 'complaint' was evident, I think. It was after my whimsical side had had a chuckle, that my curiosity was engaged about how long it would really take to write 512 GB over USB 2. I don't think they're real. @Grench Thanks for the...

Hmm... I see. Yes, the Lexar® JumpDrive® S45 USB 3.0 flash drive only goes up to 128 GB. The SanDisk Ultra Fit™ USB 3.1 Flash Drive goes up to 256 GB though (for US$ 46 each). And I see one "compact" 512 GB drive, but not only is it not from a reputable manufacturer, it says it is from "no"...

Here's a question out of curiosity (and/or ignorance since I don't follow trends in storage media except around the times when I'm buying some, which I haven't in some years): Why choose a low-profile USB-to-µSDXC adapter over a low-profile USB flash drive? Compactness? Capacity? Speed? Price...

Yes, certainly another news post is pending, as EvilDragon has yet to tell us of how things progressed with the new case company and what the plan is there going forward (and of shoes and ships and sealing wax and such). And no doubt he will give us that news post once he's got caught his breath...

Actually, that has been addressed at least twice. In [1] EvilDragon said that he hoped "to have everything done" by 2018-12-12, which was understood at the time to include the ordering of the boards (if not also their manufacture and delivery). In [2] EvilDragon said that he planned to order...

Some of these questions have already been answered: After they've been ordered, manufactured, and have arrived. I think we can be pretty certain that EvilDragon will give us a news post when the boards are ordered along with an updated estimate on their manufacturing and shipping time. Build...

Until fairly recently I was still using an HP 200LX. Twice I tried to wean myself off it but was unsuccessful. The first time was with an Apple Newton (a stone age tablet) and it was sort of okay. It was the only keyboard-less computer I've ever used that was almost usable. (It had a stylus...

It can have one of those cool pull-out telescoping antennas!

Indeed. Grammatically, the "it" that wouldn't help would be the "stuff like that" which presumably refers to whatever EvilDragon meant by "force our way through". But, as you pointed out when you suggested there was a typo, it's not likely that he meant that that wouldn't help. Actually, when I...

EvilDragon is a wonderful optimist, though. (Which is a good thing in a way, otherwise he might never have undertaken the Pyra project.) So his time estimates tend to be best best best possible case if nothing whatsoever goes wrong and all the other people and organisations involved do their bit...

I read this as saying that no matter how much the people at FormAction wriggle and squirm and prevaricate, it won't make any difference (won't help them) (this time) because EvilDragon _will_ move the moulds this week regardless.

Do we really believe in the existence of these 500 clear cases?! My theory for why FormAction is still spinning things out is because they still haven't been able to make them. Remember the previous time when they said they'd made some (prototype) cases but later claimed that the dog had eaten...

How does the price per GB look in your parts of the world? Here one can get three or four 256 GB cards for the price of one 512 GB card. I hate to buy a card that doesn't provide the greatest capacity per dollar, but 256 GB is just too small. There doesn't seem to have been any improvement in...

If the brushed-aluminium-look coating on my laptop is anything to go by, coatings wear through in a year or two of daily handling. One rarely touches the dashboard of a car or the coated parts of a vacuum cleaner (which usually have "rubber" handles); a Pyra, on the other hand, is definitely...

It's on the front face of the rule (lower image) near the top right corner on the upper stator at the end of the DF scale, below the Decilon logo. It says "No. 1130". I don't need to zoom here, but it possibly helps that I already know what it says! The numbers should pick up, I think, once...

A thoroughly truncated (short and stubby) slide rule for a thoroughly truncated number (1130):

What is the new leadtime on the boards? (Sorry, I forgot.) I remember that it got longer than it had previously been. If it's 8 weeks, then you're going to have a Herculean task to have the boards delivered no later than the keymats, if you do the burn in test next week and order the boards...

And, as we all know, 1135 is a bright red tractor!
