Yeah, he was really upfront about just paying Tesla to do it if it’s $15k. It wasn’t worth the added delivery costs if you aren’t near them.

Just watch any of the YouTube videos that compare road trip charging and you will see the difference. While you may have 1 or 2 Tesla chargers down sometimes, normally there are many more to choose from and the speeds are reliable. Ease of payment and different apps are also a pain. This will hopefully clear up a lot of your manufacturer has a deal with Tesla to use their superchargers soon. https://youtu.be/92w5doU68D8?feature=shared

It’s interesting as a comparison to M3 now and at different power limits. I’m hoping it may hopefully benefit the asahi project also. As a windows product I don’t think it’ll be good at all unless Microsoft has a Rosetta like emulation layer that is nearly as good as Apple. Without that this product will not do well.

It seems to go in these cycles so I definitely don’t do drops anymore. It’s not worth it. I find doing the projects with small batches of custom pcbs and off the shelf components much more interesting these days.

Thanks for the heads up. Based upon his communications on a previous drop and getting rid of it at cost I knew it was not going to end well. Sad it has come to this since it was a very unique vendor communications wise.

Considering they rolled out a great VR launch, that was well worth it to me, but I know that is a limited audience.

It’s just wrong.

On the RP3+ at least it does offer some good options for android games and ports of games that people have done. It is definitely a good PSP machine, but I definitely could not just set one up and send it out without telling people how to use it and why it launches different apps.

The Android setup took a long time on my Retroid, mainly due to all of the tweaking. I got a Miyoo Mini + afterwards and it was so much simpler that I may stick to more Linux oriented handhelds, or ones that dual boot.

I have had a good experience with Vinyl Me Please so far. I am a relatively new collector (also mainly CD/digital) so I didn’t have many of the records in their collection. It is expensive, but the deal for the extra bonus records depending on how long you sign up makes it worth it to me.

This looks pretty cool. Thanks for sharing!

I don’t live in Portland, but I agree with you about the types of posts I would like to find when I go to a community magazine/sub/page. I like to see recommendations of things to check out that I haven’t heard of, small businesses to support, things that make a place unique. I can find the critical stuff almost anywhere else (although there should be discussion on that of course).

From what I have seen in the Miyoo subreddit there didn’t seem to be any concern with the Plus’ durability, (besides the initial batch with the screens becoming unglued). I don’t baby mine, but then again I try not and drop anything with an LCD screen.
