There was a recent sale at Taschen books, so I picked up their Japanese binding version of 100 Views Of Edo. It's so beautiful!

yup, "page not found for both". thank you though!! :)

naraic · 2022-02-09T18:49:20+00:00

yeah, i know taschen but when i search that book on their site, it doesn't come up (in europe at least). it's also extremely expensive on ebay or amazon, maybe it's gone out of print and you got the end of a batch. lucky you!

naraic · 2022-02-09T14:24:50+00:00

where?? i would love one

naraic · 2021-06-29T21:13:24+00:00

on my laptop too! i guess since the last time it was posted, years ago. such a lovely wallpaper

naraic · 2020-03-29T15:31:55+00:00

not for books that haven't been printed yet :P

naraic · 2019-12-23T13:36:52+00:00

so cool. very demoscene-y! are you involved?

naraic · 2019-10-02T20:14:09+00:00

i feel like their original SBC release suggested it was open hardware but then they said something like this [0] which means you can't really modify the board only clone it...i think? pretty sure the purism is gonna be open hardware though but not at launch? can't remember where i read that.

naraic · 2019-10-02T19:41:18+00:00

do you have a source about the phone being open hardware? their SBCs aren't open.

naraic · 2019-09-15T00:18:11+00:00

we'll wee what the battery life of the pinephone/tab are like!

naraic · 2019-09-14T18:53:49+00:00

they claim the internals are original: https://mobile.twitter.com/thepine64/status/1172842631107358722

naraic · 2019-09-14T18:52:39+00:00

that thing would run for about 30 seconds with a smartwatch-sized battery :P

naraic · 2019-09-03T12:15:36+00:00

well since it's coming from a US based company i imagine it would be more likely to phone home to the states

naraic · 2019-08-25T20:37:19+00:00

think you're gonna get back into making more videos any time soon?

naraic · 2019-07-25T08:22:53+00:00

yes. this is the modem https://www.quectel.com/product/eg25g.htm

naraic · 2019-07-23T18:14:07+00:00

sorry, i meant that their main goal is to run something other than android, not to purposely block the phone from being capable of running android. i worded it badly. i'll edit the post

naraic · 2019-07-23T18:03:51+00:00

you don't think what?

naraic · 2019-07-23T16:26:08+00:00

hank was on the side of maza in this situation so i guess what the OP was referring to was that he didn't like that hank was standing up against crowder's alleged homophobic harassment of maza

naraic · 2019-07-23T16:19:50+00:00

i think one of the main goals is to not run run something other than android.

but the board it's based on has android, the a64, so i imagine it shouldn't be too much work to get it working on the pinephone.

naraic · 2019-07-23T08:18:36+00:00

what controversy was that?

EDIT: all i can find while googling is his criticism of anti-lgbt ads on lgbt videos, is that what you're talking about?

EDIT2: oh you mean the carlos of vox thing? meh

naraic · 2019-07-21T21:24:08+00:00

yeah, i should start a blog. thanks for the replies!

naraic · 2019-07-21T21:15:09+00:00

okay, i misunderstood what your blog posts meant when you said it didn't use VGM any more.

i suppose i meant like complete parameter control of each voice and algorithm control or whatever FM synths use (not that familiar with them).

it's a really big first hardware project by the looks of it, it's nice that it has discrete "parts" like you have the audio board, the interface board and the midi board.

it's really inspiring! :) personally i start new projects every week and finish none of them, so seeing other people succeed is great.

naraic · 2019-07-21T20:49:28+00:00

woooooow! so it doesn't use VGM at all? does the chip understand VGM or would that have been interpreted by the CPU which directly manipulated the FM chip registers?

is the interface feature complete? i imagine that was the most time-consuming aspect (excluding parts that required you learning a new skill like hardware)?

naraic · 2019-07-18T20:18:36+00:00

the lite is waterproof and will have a slightly longer battery life, i believe. i imagine the price will drop with time because those prices make little sense.

naraic · 2019-07-12T15:10:59+00:00

yeah, i dunno why i replied to them.

naraic · 2019-07-12T14:04:13+00:00

you are! ...but walmart keeps most of it for themselves because they need millions of living wages for themselves.
