It reminds me of the Pandora!

"Well, I received an answer today. They found the issue with the quality and I'll visit them on Monday."

Bah, ED, you just made me triple post.

I tried to read the nametag on the ice hockey shirt on the wall.
Sadly its pixelated (german: gepixelt).

.. which is the name of our video production company
We share the same office as well

ED is a mogul. Two companies!

Three, OpenPandora Gmbh is his too I think.

ED is an octopus and his tentacles reach to all places of our society. He's the mafia boss that secretly owns many companies. It would not even surprise me if besides DragonBox he also controls many lesser companies such as Google or MS.

No, it's only two. gepixelt GmbH and OpenPandora GmbH.

Oh! I thought Dragonbox was a separate company.

 

[levi]

Nope, trading name of openpandora GmBH as far as I know.

 

[Silent-Hunter]

Okay that makes sense.

So, um, according to the mailing list, ED's been having an extra fun day today. He will have to change resistors manually on over a hundred mainboards.

It's a one day job for a pro like him though. Two to three minutes per board, he told me on Discord.

 

[ClockworkCoder]

That sounds like a real pain in the behind job, and more than a little mind numbing, I guess. Case issues, resisters and throttling, all sounds like the last ED needs at this stage. At least they're all resolvable... just a PITA.

 

[EvilDragon]

It's not multiple issues, the resistors have to do with throttling and simply should fix that batterycharging goes into a critical shut-off too early (as this value is not software configurable, sadly).

The rest of the heat management is pure software though
And yeah, changing a resistor doesn't take that long. I remember when we were at Craigs place assembling and MWeston changed a resistor on over 400 PCBs to fix Wifi...

Boahr, this makes our Preepreeorder Pyrae a lot more special ^^
Sorry that you have lots more work now..



Send from something, i guess ^^

What's the deal with the resistor/throttling?

 

[docbroke]

Mailing list has gone on fire.

What's the deal for those of us that don't follow it

 

[levi]

Anyone can read the postings from here: https://pyra-handheld.com/pipermail/firmware/

There's not much to the deal really. The list is mainly comatose these days aparts from hns's automatically produced kernel build reports, or whenever someone actually posts about a problem they're having. This time round it's just a slightly monster version of that last type.

 

[JDTAY]

You forgot the kernel mailing list link.
