    I'm out of ideas for news-titles

    It's not the device that's wrong; in a way it's your point of view. The modern mobile device isn't built to run under full load for a long time. That's what servers are built for. The device is built to deliver a smooth handling experience at moderate power consumption. To achieve that, there's...

    Quite a bit for you to read!

    My take would be, in case the speed impediment is significant: Drop the muxer and the internal Micro SD capability. Keep full speed eMMC. Internal eMMC and two SD Card slots, similar to the Pandora. The internal Micro SD was imho nice to have, but not a dealbreaker by far. And, ignorant as I...

    FAKE: a weird programming language

    I was reminded of fiddling with my HP 28 calculator... (ah, no surprise, Forth uses UPN).

    With full steam into the new year!

    You probably forgot the hefty Trump tax which will try to block computers manufactured in Germany from flooding the US...

    Would ethernet have been feasible in the Pyra?

    I experimented with Ethernet too, but found it more practical to use a simple USB cable for tcp/ip networking in most circumstances. https://pandorawiki.org/USB_reference#Network No need for an adapter, works with plain USB cable and is quick if you have a small script prepared. Doesn't work if...

    Surprise Attack!

    Yeah, why not let the community put in votes for stations on the way. My vote would go to _wb_. Would be nice if it gave us a pyra system info earlier.

    Comprehensive Status update!

    Ah, I believe ED might not be greedy and brutal enough to become a huge player, and also he's too honest. But as it is, he might from time to time, with a bunch of enthusiasts prodding in the background, build a little device exciting him and us. And live a long and happy life like that...

    Last known issue fixed

    I can imagine _wb_ would want to put that into his system info. That's all I'd need. EDIT: I believe it already does that...

    If a choice is possible in the wizard, which desktop environment(s) the Pyra OS should ship ?

    Never, certainly. Neither anyone needs mine. Or we yours. But isn't this whole forum to a large part about discussing the merits, caveats, consequences of personal preferences regarding the Pyra to be? And Sulu raises, in my opinion, rather valid questions. And, excuse me, what I hear about...

    Pandora Toolchain for Mac OS X?

    Also, sebt3 is still offering his toolchain for download: http://sebt3.openpandora.org/buildtools/ ; there pandora-toolchain-virtualbox-20110313.vdi.7z It's a virtualbox vm, and virtualbox should be available for Max OS X. That's what I used. I really can't say however, which of these options is...

    PGS Windows 10 gaming handheld - GPD WIN competitor

    I like that Excellent Expert quotes Mussolini to get fanatic people behind the great, albeit rather unsubstantial, PGS idea. There's loads of stuff to discover for a sociologist, comparing this campaign to his. I do believe this Kickstarter is an evolutionary form of the 419 scam, and we might...

    The Retro/Vintage Electronic-Toy Thread

    I remember having thrown one Mark in the latest sensation in the bar across the street... a Pong! I never had lost such a substantial part of my pocket money in such a short time, and hardly ever felt such a mixture of guilt, pleasure and urge for more. (Then came Asteroids.) A bit later, this...

    ... we're still alive!

    It's an analogue wheel, but not put in the analogue circuit before the headphones/speakers, instead it's digitized into the DAC input. (Therefore EvilDragon is wrong; there must be a finite resolution. Atm it's afaik unknown how high the resolution will be; an informed guess was 10bit.) I'm a...

    Hardware First Batch Pandora - not turning on at all

    It's probably what's referenced here: http://pandorawiki.org/Boot_setup#MLO_bootloader What about detailing the process and publishing the image to spread the knowledge?

    How compares the Pyra LCD to the Pandora?

    Interessant. In der DOSbox? PS? GBA?

    ever thrown in the towel because of impossible work conditions?

    I also worked in a theatre quite a while ago. It's a peculiar place, I believe, because it's rather common that it absorbs you more than the usual. It will be your social sphere, your job, your entertainment and sometimes your sleeping place, and I guess most will pay shitty for anyone but the...

    SuperZaxxon v1.73 - maintenance release

    If I do that, I get the new kernel, but not the respective modules, so I end up with a half-system which doesn't get me into the internet (wifi modules missing), so I can't finish the update. Maybe it works if you take out all uImage* from bootf.tgz, but I didn't try. (I fixed it by copying the...

    Some questions about the 3G / GPS module

    Ah, I was looking for clues that some of these features were supposed to be for the whole family, but missed the > semantics. Your interpretation seems flawless. Thanks for dispelling my doubts.
