    It's software this time!

    To think I was this close to picking up my Pyra at Gamescom...

    Politics of Gnome and Perceptions of rudeness (Random things from Daveshah's thread)

    I kinda hate these kinds of topics to be honest. Makes me lose faith I had in some members of the community every time. All that for stuff that probably would never be an issue in practice here. Yet, I admit, it's hard to not look at it. I will refrain from actively participating though...

    Free Lossless Image Format (FLIF)

    I've been checking on JPEG-XL every now and then. Hard to add it to browsers if the bitstream isn't finalized yet, to be fair. It's just not ready yet.

    Pocket projectors: PIQO and Philips PicoPix Max

    I have no clue about Android media players either, but you could try out the unofficial Android build of mpv. UI is even more barebones than VLC, but you have the full config power of mpv available (as well as keyboard controls if one is connected) if you're willing to get down to it. I think...

    How to log in to Pyra Wiki?

    So ED either fixed it in the meantime or something else is off. I'm automatically logged in and am allowed to edit pages. Have to admit I've never done so before though, so no idea if it worked before.

    It's software this time!

    As long as it doesn't accidentally change the number of my unit, it's cool. One unit getting pushed out earlier won't make any difference to me anyways.

    Beauty competition.

    I could imagine that it's beneficial to not coat the moving parts (nubs, shoulder buttons) to not make them thicker. It'd also look cooler, but that's just me. What throws me off is that in the video the nubs are grey. Probably from a test run, but what is the plastic color before coating gonna...

    Open Pandora - 10th Year Anniversary

    I received mine in February 2011 so it's still a little bit for that one to become 10 years old. Overall wonderful solid device, but I'd be lying if I said I was using it tons these days. Still runs super fine, though. I've made quite some memories with the device and the people surrounding it...

    Beauty competition.

    Both are nice, but the dark chrome one looks more interesting, especially with the DPAD and nubs being darker (and the keyboard, though not really well visible in that lighting), creating a slight contrast.

    Release DraStic Nintendo DS emulator

    Retroarch is available for Android. Well, I already own it for Android anyways. I don't even use that version, but the money was still well spent.

    Future of the CPU board?

    What is the current state of blobs on the OMAP5 Pyra anyways? SGX, sure. Apparently for Wifi, but firmware, not driver (that's from a 2014 news post though, so dunno if that's current at all). Pyra repo has the SGX blob in clear sight, but no idea if others aren't hiding somewhere as well. The...

    Future of the CPU board?

    Honestly? That sounds like a lot of headaches and effort for next to no gain. I just don't see many existing users switching and if the difference is barely there, it wouldn't really get us many additional either. If OMAP5's EoL is imminent, I suppose it's the next best step, but otherwise? I...

    Are you missing Lightguns ?

    Not really. Point and shoot activities like that have moved into VR for me. And with EmuVR you can even bring the classic lightgun experiences into your virtual 80s/90s bedroom. Guess no local multiplayer experience that way, but that doesn't bother me really. Well, in theory you could still use...

    Is the PyraOS going to have systemd-homed?

    Can somebody explain me how cryptographically signed JSON records and home directories as encrypted containers are a valid response to "This is inefficient, and Poettering has decided to make a drastic change."? It's the author's words, sure, but even that aside, none of this strikes me as...

    No Gamescom for Pyra this year

    I kind of expected this to happen, but it's quite the shame. After 5 years in a row of helping out it's been kind of the regular thing to look forward to every year. Ah well, maybe 2021. With my own Pyra by that time, fairly certain on that one.

    Astro Slide - By Planet computers

    The sliding mechanism of that prototype doesn't really convince me. Looks janky. Guess they have a year to improve that. Still, not really a fan of their kind of keyboard for hand-held use. Not exactly in need of a keyboard slider right now anyways, but good that more are getting made again.

    Half-Life: Alyx

    Yeah. As opposed to PSVR, standalone VR (Oculus Quest (this one can be connected to a PC too though), Vive Focus) or smartphone VR (Google killed off Daydream, so I don't even know if there's much left here). I personally think the PCVR space is most interesting since it's an open platform. PSVR...

    Half-Life: Alyx

    In practice, for the PCVR space you're looking at SteamVR games and Oculus runtime games. Every relevant PCVR headset can be used with SteamVR one way or the other. HTC Vive/Vive Pro (but not Cosmos), Valve Index are supported directly by Valve, WMR (Windows Mixed Reality) through SteamVR...

    Half-Life: Alyx

    The Half-Life: Alyx website is actually pretty detailed about what works with the game. At the end of the day, that is every SteamVR supported headset as long as it has tracked motion controllers of some kind. In regards what you should buy... I'll have to say I'm kinda biased. I have a Valve...

    8bitdo gamepads Xbox360 compatibility on Windows

    Steam Input should also work when you add the games in question as a non-Steam game, I think. I tend to not use it in general though as it can get in the way of applications trying to access the DirectInput gamepad when you have it set up. Probably not an issue for most people, though.
