benny_de | hello | 13:26 |
---|---|---|
benny_de | I'm searching for status update or information for the next steps of Neo900 project :) | 13:27 |
crox | benny_de, imho the project is more or less dead | 21:10 |
crox | as you can see, the website is no longer accepting new orders | 21:11 |
benny_de | yes, but there is no new news about this - so I hoped to get a better information here | 21:33 |
atk | hmm | 21:46 |
atk | it's bad news all around | 21:46 |
atk | things went wrong and continued going wrong | 21:46 |
atk | although Joerg-Neo900 has said some hopeful things about future projects now and again. | 21:46 |
atk | So you could say the project is in the process of death but might be followed by a rebirth | 21:46 |
atk | don't get your hopes up though | 21:47 |
atk | it seems like hardware projects are ...] | 21:47 |
atk | they require money or luck to succeed | 21:48 |
atk | probably both | 21:48 |
DocScrutinizer51 | a lot of both | 21:49 |
DocScrutinizer51 | successor project look ed good economically for a maybe 3 monyhs | 21:49 |
atk | even that project for the EOMA computer | 21:51 |
atk | despite the success of the funding campaign | 21:51 |
atk | a lot of things had to be cut, and lots of compromises made | 21:51 |
DocScrutinizer51 | then turned out the VC folks based their plans on one (human) resource that wasn't available and been considered mandatory bz VC | 21:51 |
atk | and still no delivery date | 21:51 |
atk | hmm, would you look at that, it got an update TODAY of all days | 21:52 |
DocScrutinizer51 | and that was the last straw that broke my back | 21:52 |
atk | https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68/micro-desktop/updates/new-factory-equipment-new-grant-proposal - only about 2 years late so far | 21:52 |
hallyn | oh i thought you were saying http://neo900.org/ got an update | 23:00 |
hallyn | really at this point it seems to me i just want to buy any old hotspot from $network, and use a n900 style computer to do everything over that hotspot. drop the cell network stuff from the device, just wifi. | 23:02 |
Joerg-Neo900 | :nod: | 23:15 |
