    A case of polls!

    If I'm looking at the result, it was all worth the time and the long wait! Congrats for the start of mass production! Friends of mine didn't think you would get this far, time to prove them WRONG! \o/

    Beauty competition.

    I think it's CLEAR what color we need :D .

    Beauty competition.

    For me, actually both would be ok, too. I'm finding the chrome a bit more stylish tough. So I'd vote for the Chrome one. If it rubs off after some years of use, I might just get a new case and be happy :). 1590780444 Dark Chrome would also perfectly fit my line of Fujitsu laptops ...

    Future of the CPU board?

    That would me my preferred choice, too. AMD is nice driver and performance wise recently, but as already stated, it has a big package and 6W is already a lot. The only thing necessary for a RISC-V is an open source graphics card, as the latest cores are already pretty powerful (maybe not as...

    Future of the CPU board?

    How about a Ryzen Embedded R1102G? I'm not sure how to source them tough. I've seen some embedded motherboard manufacturers on Embedded World this year that used them, namely eepd.

    Everything that's conductive will block em signals. Ceramics would work tough. There is a kind of ceramic that you can mill before you temper it, but you have shrinkage when tempering. It was quite expensive as far as I remember. One could also design a wooden case .. I guess depending on the...

    I'm planning to have plastic covers where the antennas are. My raspberry has gotten an external antenna for this purpose, but for the pyra a sma sticking out at the back is not really cool.

    Where are we now?

    When I get my pyra I will eventually try to mill me a aluminum case to keep it cooler, as I tend to do heavy stuff on underpowered devices ... my Raspberry pi can tell stories ;). Has gotten a custom milled case meanwhile. Will take some time to design for the pyra tough I guess. Have you...

    Where are we now?

    Unless you have a big sink for infrared radiation, like a clear sky, the pyra will reach equilibrium when it reaches the temperature of its surroundings. So most probably it won't feel cool to the touch. Thats mainly a property of materials with a high thermal conductivity in conjunction with a...

    Where are we now?

    Ok, but then it would need some kind of sintering, does it? Sounds cool though, even if you need the sintering, as this avoids a sls printer and FDM printers are easily available :).

    Where are we now?

    My wild uneducated guess would be that the Aluminum filling has no structural integrity, as it was printable before. So if you melt away the plastic, the aluminum remaining would be plain powder and melt away with the plastic, but why would you want to melt away the plastic? Thermally conducting...

    That's not entirely true out of the box. White does not absorb Light but reflects it instead, which is good, but it also does not emit light in this wavelength very well, and this is bad. Every body at room temperature radiates at a wavelength of several µm and thereby looses energy. The amount...

    Where are we now?

    Well, actually all radiators are black, just in the infrared spectrum, where it matters. Visible spectrum is white tough. Thats the reason why there is special color for radiators. That's nor your usual white color, but black in infrared and perfectly white in visible spectrum. Its just like a...

    Pyra news partially stale from the dragon's mouth

    I guess it will be at least as good as the one on my N900 and I was fine with that one. It doesn't need to be good at touchtyping. Thumbtyping is good enough most of the time, but the Gemini keyboard felt just wrong as either thumbtyping (mostly due to the awkward and sharp hinge) or...

    Pyra news partially stale from the dragon's mouth

    I was desperately searching for a replacement of my HP Jornada. But the Pandora was lacking some things I wanted. Namely the HDMI output and the backlit keyboard with not just gaming in mind. When I saw the preorder campaign for the Pyra, I knew this was it! I already tried a Gemini meanwhile...

    Latest update: Keymats are here, how strong will the logo plate be - and pretty cases.

    Looks good indeed. It reminds me of the coating of a thinkpad. I'm still curious about the available colors. I guess it will be very hard to decide on the color in the end. Almost sounds like a Pyra for christmas. It would be TWO MONTHS from now anyways.

    We need more drama. So here's another video.

    For glueing the logo, maybe hotglue is an option. Not the kind of you will find in your local hardware store, but there are some special industrial ones with awesome properties. This would have several advantages: 1. Solvent free, does not attack Polycarbonate or any other form of plastic 2...

    A video. Again. Mostly about cases.

    Ed should probably do an external USB keyboard, without case, without color, without anything. That way, the discussion can't go off the rails anymore :D

    A video. Again. Mostly about cases.

    I'm pretty sure this won't happen. Evil Dragon talked about paint, not rubberization. Paint shouldn't be a problem, as it usually wears out after several years of strong use (if it's not some cheap chinese bulls***). Actually most of the wrist rests on laptops are painted and the paint will...
