Pyra news partially stale from the dragon's mouth

[NetBLOKS]

Maybe they mess up the code and the project is doomed because of them.

Thats the spirit

 

[ClockworkCoder]

Actually I actually feel that the software will improve exponentially when more units get in more hands, and as the Pyra-owner community grows. Guess there's a tricky Catch-22 now though, until some key functionality for average users gets ironed out...

Wasnt the Software Open? So even if the new Devs mess up whit the Code, whe could still use a diferent OS and compile it to the Pyra..

They might write a bot and infiltrate our code as many times as they want.
They could hack our websites.
They could launch a DDoS attack against EDs servers.

Without a certificate of their trustworthiness (covering the last 20 years of their past) we are certainly doomed.

Isnt this the issue whit the whole Opensource Project?? Whe have to trust in everyhone who modifie our Code, or whe need a Backup or something..

If i remember correctly: even the Pandora wasnt save from Hackers, but due to the small userbase, the efford to write a Virus were to big..

With OPEN SOURCE, everyone can read the code, so if something is malicious, someone will find it.

Glad to see that there are more developers working on the project. Looking forward to the next full announcement!

Often enough, security bugs get noticed, that only as a sideeffect provide a complicated in and have been in the software under the radar for quite some time. Just put something like that in the code.

Its not fresh anymore...

FTFY

Global pandemic.

So Pyra never. So many slow downs (or let's be honest halts) to be perfect..or other unspecified reasons...and here we are not even in production.

@EvilDragon I will invest $100,000 in you tomorrow, to start production now for a share of the profits and head of the line privileges. Also i already paid the full price with vouchers..

Edit: Immediate production as is

 

[ClockworkCoder]

Ash cloud with the Pandora launch, global pandemic with the Pyra launch. If nothing else, they end up becoming deliverable amidst some drama.

 

[Silent-Hunter]

We are in production, from what I understand. ED said 550 mainboards have been produced.

The only thing that shipped were the pre-pre whatever's

 

[matzesu]

No, the only Shipped Units where the Prototyphs, the Pre Pre Preeorders will get shipped whit the normal Preeorders, as the Deal whit they was only that they get a Special Prepreorder Dummy PCB whit Signature of EvilDragon and HNS and a Special Serial Number that shows how awesome the Owner of this Pyra was ^^

I would like to believe in the 550 mainboards as i dotnt know how long it would take to make this Part of the Pyra,
So whe have to wait for the Massproduktion Cases, and its painting, order the Parts for the Heatsink, the Printing of the Manual and the Karton, and thats it ?

 

[crazyhorse]

I don’t think units will be shipped until some further improvement of the drivers.

 

[matzesu]

I think this is a thought Decision, i would shipp the Units, as they work even whitout proper 3D Driver, just to get some Money for the next Produktion Run,
The Preorder Guys are knowing that the 3D Driver is in Progress, so it wouldnt anoying to many customers..

The Software has to mature a lot, and if the Update Process is Idiead Proof i wouldnt see why this would prevent the Physical Units to get Shiped

 

[ClockworkCoder]

The Kernel Digest mailing list is starting to look exciting:

From @hns

I will soon update the Letux kernel trees and binaries so that ED can build a test SD card for doing full mass production tests

HNS also reported that he got a new unit, and that it's a big improvement on the dev prototype he had before.

 

[Swordfish II]

My offer to finance still stands.

Ash cloud with the Pandora launch, global pandemic with the Pyra launch. If nothing else, they end up becoming deliverable amidst some drama.

So with the Pandora it was vans spontaneously combusting and a volcanic eruption, but with Pyra it's sickness, death and many other unspecified evils? Who writes this drama? This is backwards, they should pay more attention.
