Cool. Was just a little worried cause I ordered @ 00:08:00 on the preorder lol. Just hope I didn't lose my spotIt's after 11 PM there - dude needs to get some sleep.

Evildragon did make a mistake where none of the orders in the first few hours were sending out vouchers. He fixed it and should be sending out the vouchers manually. I'm sure he won't forget you.Cool. Was just a little worried cause I ordered @ 00:08:00 on the preorder lol. Just hope I didn't lose my spot
You're assuming that they're relative to each other, but you can also do percentages as ratios of a base standard.Percentages are a ratio of 1/100, they're applied multiplicatively. 100% of something is 100/100, so 1. 100% more than something means "add 100%", so a ratio of 2:1, or 200%. We're comparing some value x, and stating that value y is x+100%, so y=x+100%x=200%x=2x, therefore x=y/2=50%y.
But for the type of device the Pyra is, 0 systemds is the standard. Isn't it?You're assuming that they're relative to each other, but you can also do percentages as ratios of a base standard.
Raisin Bran has 2 scoops of raisins as standard. You can then get one box with 1 scoop of raisins and another box with 3 scoops of raisins, or 50% of standard and 150% of standard respectively: it wouldn't be incorrect to say box 2 has 100% more raisins than box 1 (vs standard). Deceptive, yes, but not wrong.
In this case we can can count 1 systemd as standard, or 100% of the systemd, with 2 systemds being 200% and no systemd being 0%: it would not be incorrect to say that, relative to standard, something with systemd has 100% more systemd than something without.
"Standard" is the wrong word. "Base" should have been correct. We can define the base to be whatever we want. If you define base to be 0 then any amount of systemd is infinite systemd. Much easier to work with positive integers. 1 systemd is convenient.But for the type of device the Pyra is, 0 systemds is the standard. Isn't it?
Woulnd't you say then, it "has 100 percentage points more than"?You're assuming that they're relative to each other, but you can also do percentages as ratios of a base standard.

Only because it stirs up stupid debates on percentages.Reminder that systemd is a bad thing...

FWIW such reasoning would be incorrect at a math test in school around here. (Because unless the standard is explicitly given the target of the comparison implicitly becomes the standard (making the correct operation a multplication instead of an addition).)You're assuming that they're relative to each other, but you can also do percentages as ratios of a base standard.

It's not very good, but it's the best we've got right now AFAIK.Reminder that systemd is a bad thing...
That's your opinion, but let's not go there again.Reminder that systemd is a bad thing...
I meant for the user to control visually. How a software controlled GPIO is secure?an LED is just an indicator light, it controls nothing, It will be good for knowing if it's enabled or not. However I'm fairly certain it WILL be turned on and off by a software controlled GPIO.From how I understood it, the led was just to control if the modem is active, it wasn't to disable/enable the modem.
Would like @EvilDragon to clarify it.
We should abandon it then.
As there are preparation for media campaigns, I assume you could place order till May 25th.Are the pre-orders going to stay up for the forseeable future. I dont think I can pre-order til payday (25th).
Any ideas when the 1st people may start receiving or is it in 2 months (tm)
I'll bite on this,I meant for the user to control visually. How a software controlled GPIO is secure?
