Indeed. But they don't work reliably (I've tried both FTDI and Prolific chipsets), especially with slower devices with which reliable flow control is essential. Yup, that was a typo. I've corrected it now. Thanks. (I've been using a full-sized keyboard for a few days, and coming back to the...

You're missing the "title" text from this comic [1]: "Fortunately, the charging one has been solved now that we've all standardized on mini-USB. Or is it micro-USB? Shit." [1] https://xkcd.com/927/ I've been idly thinking that the Pyra really needs a VGA connector. And a 25-pin RS-232 port...

Back to 1131. I guess that Belzona 1131 epoxy didn't stick. (Maybe @levi didn't mix it right...)

@EvilDragon What happened to the pre-order stats at https://stalker.openpandora.org/preorder.json ? Will they be coming back when the site migration is complete?

I voted for purple, green, and blue. Sadly some of the least likely colours. I suppose there is still a chance of a blue at some point, but I suspect it will be unpleasantly dark. My preference for blue would be a bright one. Generally I think kindergarten colours (primaries) are better than...

Indeed. Even a day or two delay in getting the new prototypes to the developers for testing and development could add weeks to project.

Looks like an emoticon with a moustache. That is, it looks like :< only right side up. Perhaps it's a walrus.

For those of us who sadly missed the Pandora days and the keyboard wars ... er... threads I mean, would you explain this a little bit more, please? Taken at face value (out of context, I'm guessing), your conclusion in the last sentence doesn't seem to follow. And I'm curious about the "cheat...

I believe that symbol might be a ˚ which is a RING ABOVE, not a ° which is a DEGREE SIGN. It is used for composing Å. As the Ångström symbol, it probably gets used less often than degrees Celsius or degrees Farenheit. But I believe it is an everyday letter in some Scandinavian alphabets so...

If the Fn key on the Pyra is like the Fn key on a laptop (I think I knew once whether it is or not, but I've forgotten), then you can't map it at the X-Window or desktop environment levels. In fact I think (?) that you can't map it at the kernel level either, but rather that the mapping has to...

Pyra's for Christmas, maybe?

It's in the window manager settings (under keyboard) rather than in the applications shortcuts settings.

The keyboard on my laptop is designed for US use (I got the US one specifically because the model sold in the Canadian market has distracting hieroglyphics printed all over the keys). But I'm not using it in the default US layout. So "yes" and "no". Anyway this is a good point that I neglected...

Like cleave and cleave in English. They should already be in the docs for the desktop environment and/or application. It doesn't sound like they're device specific? And if they're not, maybe best not to clutter up the documentation with them? Here (on GNOME 3.26) both Alt keys on my laptop...

:) Oh, great! I had imagined something much more involved / time-consuming! I wasn't forgetting that, actually. My Pessimist was just imagining hardware going to the WiFi testers end of August, them reporting back by end of September, prototype boards being modified by the end of October and...

Gosh that title ("The Final Revision") really had me worried for a moment! Each time the design has been revised (lately), it's been the "final" revision, and I thought "Oh, no. Surely nothing needs more revision?"! Then I read the post and realised that it meant the final version, and that...

Not to worry EvilDragon. No doubt FormAction will have their usual difficulties with their production run. And then they will make excuses. And then it will be August and they will take their ill-deserved summer holiday. And everything will be back to normal in FormAction land! But joking...
