Before you press play, I want to share a bit more about what you’re about to see.

These first demos feature pre-production hardware, and internal software. It’s real, working hardware being used by our team for testing and validation, but definitely not finished product.

That means you’ll likely spot a few rough edges. In fact, since we started filming this video there have already been several new internal SW and firmware deployments that add features and polish to the experience (like the hole punch camera cut out you may see obscuring text in the status bar at a few points in the video…that’s already been fixed 😉).

Over the next couple months we’ll continue sharing more details and new demos of features like Message Hub, Signal Light, Prompt Key, touch sensitive keyboard, camera, etc.

Speaking personally, it’s been so rewarding to start carrying Communicator every day and to be using it out in the real world. Seeing it evolve from an idea, sketches and prototypes into something I grab as I head out the door is pretty special (and kind of surreal!).

The entire team is heads down building, and we're still on track to begin shipping in Q4.

Thanks for being on this journey with us.

I just have a KVM that I can unlock LUKS with remotely.

I can access it remotely as my router has a built in Wireguard server so I connect to that and I'm basically on LAN.

I heard it slows performance either way, but since I bought the sticks as a set I have to mail in both for the warranty anyway

MSI B450 Tomahawk

I prefer to do the old fashioned way like granny taught me, by weaving my own damn memory.

[-] bdonvr 6 points 4 days ago

Yeah I lowered it to make sure that wasn't the problem

Linux? I've heard if you can identify the bad blocks (assuming it's just one group of bad blocks) you can tell the kernel to not use those. If you're technically inclined.

Warranty exchange basically

Timings are already base unfortunately as you can see 2134mhz

Gonna RMA them

[-] bdonvr 15 points 4 days ago

GSkill yep. Should be good. I originally built in 2020 with 2x8gb and then in October 2024 I got another 2x8gb because it was only $35USD why not lol

The exact same set is currently $135...

And go figure the new sticks were the ones that failed.

[-] bdonvr 5 points 4 days ago

Yeah looked into it but I'm gonna try and RMA them

[-] bdonvr 2 points 4 days ago

Mine booted but would cause system instability.

I can get by with 16gb but hopefully I can RMA. GSkill is pretty good on RMA I've heard

It's mostly marketing hype/fluff. Still interesting.

They said last month that by the end of this month we should have some kind of Hands-On with a working demo - looking forward to it!

Edit: Jeff Gadway said full video on the 21st

Hey there,

I recently acquired my first EV and have been having fun trying to get the best efficiency numbers out of it. I was at ~3.5mi/kWh (5.6km/kWh), but by slowing down and taking the other road not the highway to work I got it up to 4.4mi/kWh (7.08km/kWh). Part of that was accelerating relatively slowly as this is one tip that I heard. But I've been thinking about it and from a simple physics calculation it should take basically the same amount of energy to accelerate an object to highway speed whether you do it very quickly or if you spread that energy over a longer period of time.

Does anyone have any insight? I don't mind granny accelerating but if I can have the zippy fun of accelerating an EV while still staying efficient that would be awesome too :)

Thanks!

Lyrics:

We have a poem here, it's called "Whitey On The Moon" It was inspired by some whiteys on the moon So I wanna give credit where credit is due

A rat done bit my sister Nell With whitey on the moon Her face and arms began to swell And whitey's on the moon

I can't pay no doctor bills But whitey's on the moon Ten years from now I'll be payin' still While whitey's on the moon

The man just upped my rent last night Cause whitey's on the moon No hot water, no toilets, no lights But whitey's on the moon

I wonder why he's upping me? Cause whitey's on the moon? Well I was already giving him fifty a week With whitey on the moon

Taxes taking my whole damn check Junkies making me a nervous wreck The price of food is going up And as if all that shit wasn't enough:

A rat done bit my sister Nell With whitey on the moon Her face and arm began to swell And whitey's on the moon

Was all that money I made last year For whitey on the moon? How come I ain't got no money here? Hmm! Whitey's on the moon

Y'know I just 'bout had my fill Of whitey on the moon I think I'll send these doctor bills Airmail special To whitey on the moon

When they first broke it was hell. Not exactly suicidal but sometimes when driving the call of the void would get louder.....

But back then I couldn't get treatment setup. I was a truck driver and always moving. Dentists hours were hard to hit and they always told me it would take multiple visits - but by then I'd be across the country.

Then they... stopped hurting. Even when I got a local job it was low priority. I knew it was a problem but eh.... Bills to pay. I took a qtip twice daily and scooped out anything caught in there.

Until recently when they started hurting again. Got setup with a local dentist. Got them out and a few fillings too. Price wasn't as bad as I thought and I don't know why I let it go on so long.
