    Temporarily wonky up key on DPAD: how to diagnose?

    Yes, first time I'd seen it. I then had the 10 second version while on the train to work, but it cleared itself up more rapidly too. Dirty contact certainly makes sense. It seems the Pandora can suffer from the curse of the biscuit crumb just like other devices.

    Has anybody received a Pandora from the original first batch queue in the last few weeks?

    s/give/offer/ in your first sentence, but that would be my understanding too.

    Kickstarter Partner?

    I know it's stating the obvious, but you should watch out that your advertising/kickstarter material can't be seen as infringing trademarks either. Microsoft are hardly shy at throwing money at lawyers, and that's likely to include targeting all kinds of people trying to use the xbox one logo or...

    Temporarily wonky up key on DPAD: how to diagnose?

    I was playing with my (everybody's) favourite toy last night and the "up" direction on the Dpad starting misbehaving, first jamming on, then refusing to register at all. After experimenting with the input tester to confirm the pro, i decided I'd deal with it in the morning, and put it aside...

    Has anybody received a Pandora from the original first batch queue in the last few weeks?

    Is it possible that a distinction is being drawn between faults caught at manufacture/when the device is first sent out and  subsequent returns later in the warrenty period? I can see that that makes a fair bit of difference to the legal standing of selling the device "as new", which is what the...

    An idea pool for features that intends for professionals

    Congratulations, you may have found one of the rare instances of "X is moot" which fits both the traditional British meaning of "issue up for debate" and the US meaning of "pointless".

    How to Connect to a VPN from your Pandora

    Actually, this reminds me, is there a reason that PPTP support is so lacking in the default package repository?

    An idea pool for features that intends for professionals

    I can only speak from personal experience, but i think the mini display port is achieving pretty reasonable market penetration as a "mobile video connector" already from macs and the new dell XPS etc, so a fair proportion of people connecting to external displays (vga/hdmi) already have the cable.

    Open Pandora Emulator?

    Isn't even "any GNU/Linux system" overspecifying things a bit? Can't you crosscompile on anything which will support the gnu binary toolchain?

    Port Request: OpenSCAD ($40/$80 starting bounty)

    Is that fast floating point as in non-IEEE compliant?

    How to adjust padding of arrays

    I don't think the standard says anything, but #pragma pack   appears to do what's required, and seems to exist to achieve what some compilers assume automatically.

    How powerful is the Open Pandora?

    How much of that is still true if you're accessing shared objects written in a compiled typed language to do the heavy lifting? Most of my programming experience is in scientific computation, where python seems to be gaining popularity as "glue" for other languages, and the (heavily massaged I...

    Native mounting of HFS+ on Pandora

    A2000: I'm probably not the best person to tell you what you ought to do, but what I think I did, mostly from the terminal: 1) Make sure your system is up to date on the firmware. 2) get the file onto the pandora somewhere sensible. I put mine at...

    Native mounting of HFS+ on Pandora

    Thank you both, and notaz in particular. I've got the module installed and am merrily mounting my hfs+ partitions on both the Pandora and my mac.

    Native mounting of HFS+ on Pandora

    I suspect it would be a good start, thank you. If I could beg more advice, do you have any tips (eg. is there an Angstrom package that'll work, if I do it myself is it simpler to recompile the whole kernel with the module added, can I just do this using the development package on the device...

    Native mounting of HFS+ on Pandora

    Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere, but so far I've only been able to find very old material, which no longer appears relevant. I'm trying to use the pandora in a mixed Apple/Linux environment, and as such it would be nice to be able use a permissions aware file system supported on...
