    Are We Fans of the Pyra because we hate the domination of computing by big Government?

    Personally, I don't see the problem. But I guess I'm already corrupted. Here's the thing, though: no matter how the 4 gadgets are categorized, that number won't change. I'm averse to playing PSP games on my HP TouchSmart since I already own a PSP (which also contains a great deal of...

    Are We Fans of the Pyra because we hate the domination of computing by big Government?

    I meant to say elements. Who needs fire when you have Pyra? Perhaps the Pyra could become the Fifth Element...that can read minds through systemd-networkd. My PSP. I have a great deal of games that I still play on it (currently playing Valkyria Chronicles II without cheats this time), for it is...

    Intel "Skull Canyon" - powerful Mini PC

    The look and size of this thing is very appealing, but I wouldn't buy it for reasons previously mentioned by others. Idk how the Skull Canyon iGPU fares against the i7-5775c, but I'd rather build a mini-ITX computer using the latter, at least until Crystalwell is used in a CPU that isn't a NUC...

    Are We Fans of the Pyra because we hate the domination of computing by big Government?

    Big Gubmint doesn't scare me as much as the greed of Big Money and Big Oil do. Among others, but you get the idea. I want a complete mobile device that I can actually make use of without tossing it away after a year or two. 2k video on a little ass screen doesn't impress me. The compulsion to...

    Absurdism corner

    Frankly, it's not even the feminism that worries me the most. I'd be fine with the current cast if the 1984 cast could "pass the torch," per se. When Harold Ramis died, so did that opportunity (along with this movie). Such an old franchise needs to segue into a new cast. What does worry me the...

    Trust, there's all of that in those drawers. Hell, you can see some of the crap in the translucent plastic drawers. The black chest-o-drawers is a good example. In the bottom drawer is my small collection of Wii games, which includes gems like Xenoblade Chronicles, Okami, Saint (side-scrolling...

    Show your desk (Merged with Prior Thread)

    Eh. May as well. This is less a "desk" and more a display of electronics, bar 3 items, that aren't in use ATM. A broken GBA, HP Pavilion 15 w/a busted battery, an old Epson Stylus printer w/no ink, a Sansa Clip+ that I'd use while running if I didn't bust my shoes along with my Monoprice...

    Abusing Pyra as communication device (needs camera)

    Lol, just as I comment on people getting fussy over exposed ports, that post is immediately followed up by people getting fussy over a camera. Keep moving in this direction and we'll land on keyboard layout discussions again. The OP clearly asked for a simple front-facing camera in order to...

    Abusing Pyra as communication device (needs camera)

    A camera in the hinge would be yet another great feature. I reckon generous shielding of all the camera's power/data lines, securing the wires such that they don't rub or otherwise touch the display cable, and a small sensor spaced far enough away from the display cable would get rid of any...

    Show your desk (Merged with Prior Thread)

    I'd be willing to show the dresser I'm using as a desk if only I had 5 VIC-20's, a hydroponics tank, a case for Monster Miles Davis IEMs, and 12 Pandoras tied together like a Rat King.

    Preorders Have Started. (Previously named starts in two hours)

    Do you know how fire a Snapdragon 808 CPU board would be?!?! Freedreno for open-sauce graphics? Even more computing power? Saying it's a long-shot is an understatement, but as a person who's not far off from being committed to the world of Pyra, that thought is tantalizing.

    Is there a thread in which subject matter of more sensitive natures go? Preferably, one that doesn't require a necro-post to bring back?

    Pyra Favorite Color

    Quite a box you put us in with these options. I abstain. As long as it's not translucent.

    Current statistics and some predictions

    I'm pretty sure if ED will just send everyone pictures of his bloodied cuticles if he has to deal with any more e-mails.

    Current statistics and some predictions

    I'm fine with any color, frankly. But, this color combo would be gangster: But it's all good though. I won't freak if there's not a confirmation of one very specific color, unlike some other picky ass people. *cough* *cough*

    Grips?

    You should be fine; the Pyra's probably fat enough to hold comfortably anyway.

    Absurdism corner

    From NA? I was under the impression that it started in Europe, considering the dozens on top of dozens of laws that really enforce the PC culture. Down here, in the South, the most PC-like laws that have been passed recently involved censoring Confederacy icons and memorabilia, anti-homosexual...
