We've started to order things!

Oi, stop picking on Mat, you lot. He might not be very tactful, but he asked some questions I was unsure on and got a valuable answer out of ED, and as long as it's just him it hopefully won't take up too much of ED's time.

I personally trust ED enough to be doing the right thing, so tend to assume anything that seems odd to me to be my misremembering (as it turned out in the main), but he made my Pandora and I've bought the odd thing from his shop since then, and have known him avatar on the boards for nearly however long I've had this account, so I have a relationship with the man, but you can't assume that of everyone.

OFC, the questions are good but the way... Well, nobody is perfect and we all have our particular vision of how the things must be done.

 

[levi]

Hey, it's an improvement on 'are we nearly there yet?' or whatever it was he posted last time

 

[Christoph.Krn]

[...] and have known him [Ed, remark Christoph.Krn] avatar on the boards for nearly however long I've had this account, [...]

Can the word "avatar" actually be used as a verb? I can't find any information about this on the Internet. If this hasn't been some kind of mistake, could you explain what it means? I'm not quite sure what you were trying to say precisely.

 

[ible]

avatar is a noun. levi has known ED via ED's avatar, perhaps?

avatate is the verb. i've been avatating on these forums as ible for a while now.

 

[levi]

Yeah, simple inexcusable typo I'm afraid. Should be been 'his' rather than 'him', so ible got the meaning.

And again?

 

[levi]

That's an editing error, not a typo!

Nice to see tmlind's helpful post to zmatt. Maybe there's a dev email list where serious talk could go?

Economist2 to Economist1: "Compared to what?"

Okay, I wasn't sure because Ed has had several avatar pictures. @ible Thanks for that verb, too, hadn't heard about that one before!

Now for the important part of my reply...

--Attachment removed--

Do I understand this right? You noticed that I'm from Germany, and decided that it would be "funny" to imply that me asking for clarification on something makes me a National Socialist, and in the process you're downplaying the severity of the Holocaust?

Do you have just remotely an idea of how much of an insult what you just posted is not just to me, but to the millions of human beings who couldn't live their lives to the end because they were actually killed in concentration camps? If you didn't know, slogans such as "Arbeit macht frei" were one of the methods that had been used to get people in concentration camps under control, and to try to make them genuinely believe that they deserve nothing else. The "joke" that you were trying to make is belittling this, and I hope that this wasn't your intention, but you are thereby effectively working towards enabling history to repeat itself. I strongly recommend that you actually go visit a concentration camp. I guarantee you, you're not going to find your "joke" funny anymore. If you can not go there, then please at least read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbeit_macht_frei#Use_by_the_Nazis

@Christoph.Krn - Well I removed the offending image and sent a message to the poster.

Well, I know you meant well, but... I intentionally didn't ask for removal, the content wasn't illegal. I really don't think that the poster had quite seen what weight it had, either, but that is exactly the problem.

For the sake of education, the content that had been posted was an image very similar to this one: http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/131430

@TrashyMG PS: You accidentally didn't the poster's name from my previous post (origin of the quote). I've taken it out now...

 

[matzesu]

I can't believe where are there soon,
What the sense of the life if you ditnt have something to wait anymore??

I preordered a Pandora in November 2008, if I remember correctly, so these few weeks to go ditnt afraid me anymore..

I think the first thing I will do, beside boot my shiny new Pyra and hopefully try some Super Mario Land, is shooting some Pix, to enoiyng the guys on the Nintendo Board im also be a Member And shurly I post these also on the English and German Pyra Boards..

and the sound chip.
Mainboard has WiFi, 4G, antennas, charger, sensors, nubs, keyboard, buttons, rumble motor, LEDs, SD slots, volume wheel, connection to speakers and battery, external connectors.

Hypothetically, if a future cpu board has a soc with some quickcharge functionality (like from qualcomm) , can the Pyra make use of that or is it impossible due to the charger chip being on the mainboard? I have a Galaxy S7 as my company phone and the thing I like most about it, is that you can charge it for 30min and the battery is full enough for the rest of the day. Totally magic for me since all my other gadgets (with way lower battery capacities) take an eternity in comparison.

 

[Binky]

I imagine the charge-management electronics are on the mainboard.

Whatever nonsense the marketing departments of the world come up with, there's nothing really magical about charging a battery faster. You just need all the connectors and components involved (including the battery itself!) to be able to take more current, have a lower resistance, and dissipate more heat.

You can probably configure the Pyra to charge at a faster-than-normal rate - only at the risk of fried chips and blown fuses. Perhaps even fire!

Optimising power consumption through better software is probably more practical than trying to shove 10W into the battery non-stop for four or five hours.

 

[Letalis Sonus]

a soc with some quickcharge functionality

A proprietary USB protocol and power specification does not replace actual power circuits. Power circuits are not being integrated into SoCs for a reason, separate ICs are absolutely required - the CPU board is definitely too small for that and the connectors are really inconvenient for transferring higher wattage.

Last but not least: Pumping that much amperage into a LiPo battery makes you a battery sadist. Don't expect it to last long.

 

[slaeshjag]

To put a significant of charge in a battery in half an hour, you'd probably need to use high-current cells. You know, the ones that go thermonuclear when you bother them, that more or less all phone manufacturers but samsung stopped using long ago.

 

[ible]

@ible Thanks for that verb, too, hadn't heard about that one before!

not sure if you understood i was joking, but just for everyone's information, avatate is definitely not a verb. at least, not in the standard english dictionary. the closest might be masquerade, though it doesn't possess a technological connotation.

e.g., i've known Michael Mrozek masquerading as EvilDragon for quite some time now...

? There are many fast loading phones from many (ZTE, Huawei, Lenovo, ...nearly all?) manufactures using this. In fact, it's probably more difficult to find mid to upper range Android phones without it nowadays. It's a choice to use it anyway, you can still charge it slowly if you prefer.
