Alive and kicking (some pictures)

[EvilDragon]

As they're all booting up fine, I thought I'd make some nice pictures for you.

Enjoy

WOOHOO!

This should have been a news thread! This is huge!
[doublepost=1497057840,1497057362][/doublepost]Now that there are Pyras plural in existance, an interesting number for you to track:

(Development costs) / (number of Pyra's existing) = X

Those 7 are likely worth their weight in very precious metals.

When X is less than the average list price for a Pyra, throw a party!

Dangit ED, you can't even spell "Hello" right.

Excuse me while I clean this drool off my keyboard...

 

[Silent-Hunter]

Oh my gosh, awesome!

 

[kuru]

Geile Sache.

 

[ible]

[levi]

Hellolo ED!

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Three words:
A
WE

[el joker]

WOW !

 

[Jumpman]

Damn, great F******g work guys, they really look AWESOME! Looking forward to some proper video's showing what they can do, as now they are just seven rather pretty door stops.

Now the next 2 months are going to be even harder to endure

This is fantastic news ED. What a way to start the weekend. I love it.

All together now: "video, video, video,..."

Dangit ED, you can't even spell "Hello" right.

That's fully intentional. So, whoosh.

Very nice! The display looks crystal-clear.
Big mystery about the Logo-Plate.

Tiny nitpick: will the final version have the keyboard back-light also lighting up the right speaker grating, as it does in this picture? I wonder whether it would be a little distracting.

Nice pictures overall, though!

Quit Cool, 7 Fully Funktional Prototype Pyras whit OS Running,
Are these 4 or 2 GB units ??
The Black Case looks pretty cool

This is awesome. Can you make a photo of the Pyra in the fires of the underworld direct sunlight with full screen brightness, so we can see how readable the LCD is in the worst case?

 

[trix]

Awesome!!

So, I skipped the keyboard wars. Quick question, with the F-keys requiring Fn+Number to use, is CTRL+ALT+F2 possible? I miss being able to switch to console with that combo on my Pandora. It almost doesn't feel like proper Linux if I can't just pop to a console whenever I want no matter what is jacking the full screen.

I know I can just switch it to an easier combo but I'll never remember it.

The Pyra definitely looks awesome though!

 

[Willhelm]

Dont rush, I WANT A PYRA NOW

 

[Askarus]

awesome! when do the devs get them?

I don't care.
When do I get one?

Not just a photo, but a video please

We don't ask for much

I also wonder if ALT+Fn+ESC ( = ALT+PrtScr ) does work as SysRq, so I could kill a frozen Xserver. But I see some complications finishing the key combination with the Fn Key pressed...
