PGS Windows 10 gaming handheld - GPD WIN competitor


Wow... can't believe this shit is still going on. I am more and more convinced, that those guys aren't scammers but morons of epic proportions. Way too much effort for a simple scam, me thinks. They really have no idea what the hell they are doing and apparently are so self deluded that they don't even register that there are multiple projects like this failing right now, eventhough these projects have people way more experienced on board.

This needs to be recognized somehow. Why isn't there an economic darwin award?
 
Oh, I thought Wade made an update on the topic about the GPD WIN 2 on dingoonity, something like... today? BTW the GPD WIN 2 will have core M-3 7y30, for the same power consumption as atom x7 8750, around 50% performances more.

Oh nice! I hope that it has clickable sticks on the next one and perhaps a stronger fan. The original gets rather hot in the hands.
 
I know everyone is disappointed that the BCI fell through taking the funds for my last sca... er um.. preject.. yes project, with it but I have a new sca.. er plan to build a handheld and avoid endless keyboard threads, every key will have a tiny LCD screen in it to show what the key is mapped to be so it can have whoever layout each person wants. I just need a few thousand dollars more.

Good news everyone for just a few million dollars more I'll be able to shrink it to GBA SP size and up the CPU and video to AMD threadripper and quad Titan Xp.
 
the most important questions first: will it have a built in fidget spinner and will I be able to connect my twiddler to that fidget interface?
 
Oh, so we do have have a fidget spinner thread.

Anyone have any recommendations for cheap ($15 or less) metal ones of decent quality (as in well balanced and not just glued together)?

I can recommend you a doctor for your focusing problem instead?

goddamn youngens with their hipster toys. when I was 16, we had yoyos to annoy other people, what happened to those? fidget spinner on a string!
*angry man yells at cloud*
 
So what's up with all those fidget spinners? Is that an American thing or did some weird trend completely pass by me again.

I do not recall ever having seen one in person, yet the internet was/is all over it.

I have seen some in public transit here in Germany and didn't understand what's so interesting about it either.
It's just some plastic with a ball bearing, right?

Last year's craze was dropping a part-filled water bottle on the floor. Seriously. All the kids around here seemed to be doing it. #mustBeGettinOld #seriouslyOffTopic /mutter
 
They were invented as stim toys for kids with ADHD: it gives their body something to do while their mind tries to study. Then there was an article about them and they looked "cool" so everyone had to have one.

And they would try to throws pills at me. Been there, done that, no thanks. I am fine as I am.

@rygD you could make your own?
I have seen ones like that. They don't appeal to me or work with how I use them. I do look for things to repurpose to make my own. Haven't rally found anything that would work well and be cheaper than just buying them.

Still, a smaller version of the one in the video might be fun to play with for a couple minutes, kinda like the puzzles I keep around (one of the two I have next two me looks like a bolt with a nut and washer, and is probably my favorite for keeping in my pocket, as I carried it with me for a couple years to fiddle with until I found a cheap decent spinner I liked...I also sometimes carry balls with me if I expect to be outside or somewhere that I can bounce it for a while).

Pretty sure I am older than you.;) First person I discussed them with is about 15 years older than me, and he had two with him. I only had other toys, like knives, with me. I am told I shouldn't play with knives, but they have long worked well for me, and most of the time no one gets injured...

The spinner I carry with me actually uses a yoyo bearing (r188/size C) as do many of the others I look at. The biggest problem with a yoyo is it is a distraction to everyone. Won't work for me because I would actually need to pay more attention to what I am doing with it, not just bat it around with my fingers. A fidget spinner its almost like the reverse of a yoyo, with a spinning part in place of the string, and held by the edges. Instead of being thrown around where it can knock things over or hit people it can stay nicely in your hand...because all the "tricks" I have seen are lame as fuck. Yoyos are still some. I had some as a kid, just never really found then that entertaining. I had three links of rusty chain that I found in the early 00s that I carried around and messed with that were much better for me.

It is mostly a stupid fad, but I think there are some people they will actually be good for. They kinda seemed to get popular on the back of, and surpassed, the fidget cube (which I have a knock off of, that isn't rally for me, especially since I tend to make too much noise and irritate others with...I am less distracting when clicking and releasing my Shuttle Space Pen, which had the release on the side...found that in some gravel in 09 or so, and it is still my main pen because I like playing with it, it is durable, and often when I need to write dog while out I am using a wall it my thigh as a table, and normal pens give me trouble at those angles).

I have a could plastic ones, as do other family members, and mind got beat up and cracked. A couple (not mine) that were not carried also started to crack, and the main bearing in one of them keeps falling out now. I think they give most people something to do. Usually the only people I see with them in public are children. I almost always have mine in my hand hand if, say, I am shopping with someone who wants to spend a half hour looking at different varieties and brands of one thing. Or just whenever. But I don't make a big show of it, and an not really obvious. It is also a lot quieter than when I used to spin my keys. And, yeah, most are just plastic, some form of weight, and a central bearing with things to hold onto.

I frequently have a nalgene bottle, and I hate dropping it (I have broken the bottom out of one, and broken several tops). Not sure what would be entertaining about intentionally dropping a bottle. I'd it so they can get water everywhere?

I have heard some say that it might have some therapeutic value, but I will wait for serious research on that before I believe it. I can see it, though. Is that what they were actually made for?
