    A Spectrum of Pyra Renders

    Hm, I really did not expect yellow with black controls to look this good. I also love the transparent one! Now I'm really curious what the actual colour of the Pyra will be eventually. (Although, in the end, I'd probably favour black on black. Everything else is too flashy for me.)

    Retro VGS indiegogo campaign. (changed title)

    There's the Xilinx Zynq series of chips that combine two ARM Cortex A9 cores with an FPGA on the same chip. The new Zynq Ultrascale+ sound even more interesting, they have A53 cores and an ARM Mali GPU in addition to the FPGA part. So if it were feasible to get these chips and design a Pyra...

    Should Pyra have a Camera?

    This guy is trying to build one of the smallest 1080p USB cams. 20x20mm² with a heatsink at the back. Maybe one could 3D-print a clip-on case for the Pyra. (I always have a Canon compact camera with me. The one in my phone just plain sucks and the Canon is said to be one of the best compact...

    No prototypes for GamesCom, but a Wifi Chip and a Pyra in the dark!

    I still definitely plan to cut my space key in half and move the resistor to gain that additional key. I hope my soldering skills are up to the task >.< Maybe ED could offer this as a payed service? :D

    No prototypes for GamesCom, but a Wifi Chip and a Pyra in the dark!

    Shame about the prototypes, but I hope you'll have a great time at GamesCom anyway! I'd pay for the 5GHz, too. I haven't had any bad experiences with my router so far. Also, the wireless chip seems to be able to act as an AP and a client simultaneously! I've needed this surprisingly often...

    The 1000-traces-puzzle

    1&1 has some pretty fair plans, too. They even allow you to activate SMS and phonecalls for 19ct per message or minute. (Yes, that's expensive, but better than no calling at all like most data plans.) @ Fullscreen-only 3D: What about HTML5 stuff? Not being able to accelerate that would be a...

    Obscure computing device fantasies

    The toolchain is for the Tensilica Xtensa lx106. What exactly do you want to do?

    Obscure computing device fantasies

    Okay, wow, that's interesting… And at 250$ incl. shipping it's about as expensive as building my own. Definitely an alternative to consider.

    Obscure computing device fantasies

    Some ideas I had and wanted to build someday were: A Google Glass like wearable computer. I have the screen (from an old camcorder), the hardware (Raspberry Pi, though I'll probably use the Pi 2) and the battery, I just have to put everything together, come up with comfortable I/O and probably...

    Obscure computing device fantasies

    http://www.esp8266.com/ I got mine for about 7€ each. You need a 3.3V hardware UART to flash them, though, and their SDK was a bit complicated to set up. or http://vocore.io/ 20$, Edit:free shipping, runs openwrt and is a pretty capable router, I'm using it a lot for my robotics classes.

    Release Pidgin 2.10.9

    gnutls on the Pandora was too old last time I checked. Yes, the crypto is for OTR and for SSL/TLS support for Pidgin.

    Sorry, which ones? o_o

    Release Pidgin 2.10.9

    According to https://github.com/majn/telegram-purple: Yes, but only with one endpoint, which means you can't have the same chat on Pidgin and your phone. I used Cloudefs dchrt and makepnd, so nearly all my project files are on the PUR, except for the runscript and the PXML, which I have attached...

    Release Pidgin 2.10.9

    Okay, I got the current version of Pidgin built, even with a working telegram plugin, but I am somehow not able to get it into working PND form and I give up. I just don't use the Pandora anymore and don't really want to spend any more time trying to get this to work… Would anyone be...

    Isn't this the mobile chip manufacturer for the Pyra?

    Quote from Heise Which roughly translates to: So unencrypted SMS, phone calls and internet connections are compromised. I wonder what would happen if the actual keys were leaked… Wasn't the UMTS modem to be connected through a serial interface and talked to with AT-commands? Wouldn't that mean...

    Release Pidgin 2.10.9

    Sorry, it's the end of semester for me, which brings exams and project deadlines and I haven't had the time, yet. >.< It'll be over on the 26th, though, I'll definitely look into it afterwards. (Maybe even earlier, the worst will be over on the 20th.)

    Will Pyra have a double sized space bar?

    From here: What I'd like to know though: How well does it work to split the spacebar yourself? (With a scalpel or a dremel or whatever tool suitable for the keymat material.)

    Will Link be getting units to sell in the first production run?

    Any news about dropshipping orders from Link to Germany? I have a discount from the KS, too, but I'm located in Germany.

    Finished! (Well... the schematics, that is)

    You're able to do taco talking, though, in one video ED shows you can have one speaker on your ear and the mic next to your mouth. Still looks silly.
