So where are we with the Pyra--really?

I guess you meant 30 € not ∑

Yes my intention was tu use the € sign, but sigma was looking simular ..

Can’t write it whit the IPad Touch Keyboard ...

Execuse my poor Education Background But what was Sigma again ?

My education fails me too. Sigma is a greek letter: lowercase sigma is σ and uppercase sigma is Σ.

The uppercase letter is often used for summation, and the lowercase for standard deviation.

In fact if I'm not mistaken, the unicode character you used was the summation character, not the uppercase sigma, although they look just the same.

But I didn't get what use of an uppercase sigma or a summation could be fun instead of some currency.

So I don't know exactly what particular meaning is attributed to your typo.

Excuse my poor Education Background But what was Sigma again ?

And also it's a summation symbol in math: https://mathinsight.org/definition/summation_symbol
I assume you tried to type the Euro symbol instead € of ∑

Those who are still waiting the Pyra, what are you going to do with it when it arrives?

Those who are still waiting the Pyra, what are you going to do with it when it arrives?

Tinkering, studying (Anki, ai via scripts, etc), retro gaming. Nothing that requires any serious oomph, but stuff that definitely benefits from the form factor.

I placed my order on November 1, 2021

I made my original pre-order in 2016, got a "ready to ship" in March 2023 where I paid the balance, and then received it February 2024.
That doesn't actually mean a whole lot; orders obviously weren't made linearly, with a lot of early pre-orders all at once, so it's entirely possible that he's done with those early pre-orders and is rapidly closing in on more recent ones.

Do you remember the date in 2016 that you ordered? Guess you were still pretty early.

 

[WizardStan]

April 30th

April 30th

Of course, the first day of pre-orders. So we're still probably on or around that date now re Pyras being sent out, I assume.

I'm usually just a silent reader here in the forum. To be honest, what bothers me about the whole project is the absence of the most important person, EvilDragon. In my opinion, there should be a proper update here, you can't hope that the community will keep the flag flying for years.

I know the man is very busy at work. We all are somewhere. But you can't lift such a mammoth project out of the ground and hope that it will just bob along. You'd think they'd have learned from the story with Craig back then - in the end, the community decides how it goes on. Nobody here expects that the day after tomorrow all Pyras will be delivered. But for God's sake, we should start to hear something proper from the “boss” again.

I love GP2X handhelds, I have them all here. I have a Pandora and it feels like I have everything around it. But I haven't and won't dare to try the Pyra, for all the known reasons. And that's a shame, because I've been passively dying for the whole project for many years.
