Actually before reading the post I thought that the picture was about the dangers of listening to music too loudly, which is another thing a lot more dangerous than most electromagnetic radiation conducted by metal wires. Also +1 for calling out the Sun for what it is: an active hydrogen bomb...

I think the word you were looking for is "handset"?

I'm not about to cancel my (pre-)preorder, but this project (together with the Talos II which shipped 8 instead of 4 months after preorder acceptance IIRC) has made me VERY wary of preordering anything in the next few years …

Sure Allwinner the company is not very nice (hence why I said "sunxi chips", not "Allwinner SoCs"). But I wasn't aware RockChip violated the GPL regularly … do you have any links for that? (searching "rockchip gpl violation" on DuckDuckGo mainly brings up Allwinner for me …)

Of course they have (I'm one of them – number 140-something IIRC) … I'm just worried how long that money is going to last, if development is to drag on a lot longer … Not to speak of the fact that the Pyra has not only a now-old SoC (hopefully an upgrade becomes available a year or so after...

I have been in this situation for about a year now … Personally I think if the Pyra doesn't come out this year it'll never come out because money for development will run out (though I have no special insight into the project's financials – I'm just infering from ED's statements here), so I...

You created a time paradox!!

I'd imagine with some care this should be doable with the existing moulds (would probably be too expensive otherwise). Generally, adding some plastic (support pegs, extending the shoulder button hinge, making the case thicker around the screen hinges, …) you can do by shaving off more of the...

Sounds good enough to my ears (except for your pronouncing height as if it were spelt heith or something – it's usually pronounced like the first part of the German word „heiter”). Anyway, did I understand this correctly that FormAction just neglected to drill in the support pegs featured in...

I'd take any of those cases in the video if it means mass production starts this summer, they're all fine IMO (that's assuming nothing else would cause major stalling instead). Then again I probably won't care about keyboard backlighting (just like for "real" keyboards, because I touch type) and...

True, but you wouldn't be able to use any electromagnetic effects with it without getting it ionized, which is probably not a good idea in the vicinity of electronic components either. (You were talking about what I interpreted as magnetohydrodynamic cooling, which sounds hard to do without...

Is it really a good idea to use electrically conducting fluids to cool a computer?

I'm not sure downclocking an idle CPU makes a lot of difference, since (I assume) it will be clock-gated (⇒ basically no dynamic power) when idle (maybe even power-gated). I'm pretty sure SoC CPUs don't run an infinite loop when idle, they just don't run at all. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Hmm I would like my Pyra to be red (like in the pitch page) with bright green highlight parts (nubs, shoulder buttons) so it can have the same color scheme as the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 character of the same name :)

Yeah. And even if they are, since the development costs seem to be a problem by now, you could sell it as an upgrade later … It's a bit late in the development cycle to make those kinds of changes, I fear. Good thing the Pyra design is modular so that a SoC upgrade could be available half or...

Do you think it will end up any better than the oil countries? Or the banana republics, for that matter?

Good idea, I'd put myself at 4.

If it means you can start shipping by the end of the month vs. having to wait another month or something, then I'd certainly be fine with a 2GB (I am hoping you will be selling CPU board upgrades in a year or two …)

It's not very good, but it's the best we've got right now AFAIK. You're free to try and point me to a better system.

That's interesting, because ntpd on my Thinkpad X200 with broken RTC (thanks to libreboot I assume) routinely switches to current time after running for a few hours in 1970, after connecting to the internet … I'd also like to know the problems with manually setting the time (will be inaccurate...
