Yes, your OS needs to support your hardware. That's to be expected.

Wait, so the value in your device, is that other people can't do something with their own devices?

If hardware changes are on the table, I'd much rather see one that can turn infinitely in both directions and only report the change rather than an absolute value. Using absolute values has one minor benefit (surviving an unexpected reboot without committing every change to flash), whereas...

Sounds like ideally, there should be a separate volume for Master, Speakers, and Headphones. Master affects both and is controlled by the wheel, whereas the latter two affect only the individual ports and can be left fixed to some reasonable value. To have alarms use a different volume than...

I get that. But it'd be nice to have an upgrade available soon afterward, because if it waits a year or two, it won't make much sense to do anything less than an entire new device. I'm more expecting USB-C to be the new charging standard. But we'll see. On another topic... is there a rendering...

For me, I settled for the slide-keyboard form factor with N810/N900, but I much prefer clamshell. If you're trying to avoid the headset, you could just throw mic & speakers in a reasonable place on the outside of the case. My suggestion for the next project is an Atom-based CPU board upgrade...

Looks like a typical price for a Class10 32 GB SD card is 15.72 EUR. And a 64 GB SD card is 17.57 EUR. So 24.20 EUR is a mere 6.63 EUR over the cost to have it external, and it leaves the SD card slot free. So, even if you keep a 15% margin here, I'd personally still prefer the 64 GB size. In...

Are people really worried about 10€-20€ more on a >=500€ device? IMO, just put the most cost-effective (64 GB it sounds like) on there. Happy to eat the price difference. It's not like SD cards are really much cheaper anyway. Why is the minimum order quantity 1000? A quick Google finds me other...

My concern for an extra battery is when the original fails completely. So it would probably be several years before I need it.

I'm only likely to buy a backup unit upfront if the price on the second is actually lower, not in order to get add-ons... so in my case, revenue will de facto decrease with your approach since I would just end up buying one. I'd almost be glad to forego the battery on the backup unit, except...

More than a month just for prototypes? :( What's your estimate for the production units?

Lying to X isn't the right approach, and will break "actual size" viewing. Just set your font sizes to what you want... :p

I've dropped my N900 quite a bit with nothing more than scratches (on the case, not the screen), so I hope the Pyra won't crack in such a scenario :(

But the Pi only supports USB 2...?

I'm guessing something about the USB3-over-USB2 thing... Costs 10x as much!

But can the nubs press-and-move in hardware? On that note, it seems to me there might be useful cases where you want those buttons to do things when the Pyra is closed (log current GPS coordinates? start covert recording?). Too bad they don't have some way to detect fingers vs pockets. :p By...

Thought of some things to test with the nubs... Does drag-and-drop work right? That is, can you press the nub and move it while it is pressed? Will press-and-hold work for right clicks? What is the plan for middle-clicking? Wait, the touchscreen is affecting visibility? :/ I can't even see a...

5" 720p displays seem non-existent for the Raspberry Pi (I looked). Can just anyone produce them easily? Is there a risk that ALL such LCDs have the graininess problem? More importantly: Is there any possibility of adding a camera (or a connector for one) to the back of the new LCD? Even if the...

Sure it is. The biggest memory bloat is in browsers, and that's the same regardless of platform.

Most "fully open/free" systems don't include the BIOS/UEFI, and clearly having a closed UEFI is better than a closed GPU driver. There's no point even comparing it, in that sense. After all, Windows is never a free system. The only comparison to make is how free it is running Linux. But we're...
