SuperStation Batch 4 Shipping Update email

Hello,

We are writing to inform you about the status of your order. Currently, we have produced all of the blank motherboards for the entire batch, but we have not finished soldering components to this boards to complete orders. We were planning to finish SMT and product shipment in June with a delayed shipment of FPGA from Altera at the beginning of the month, but they extended the delay throughout the entire month of June. For context, we were originally given an April delivery date for the stock of FPGA we planned to use for our June batch 4 shipments.

Based on the current response we've been given, our order is now delayed until July 25th, which means we will not be able to start SMT until that time. Assuming this new date holds, we should be able to have a chunk of batch 4 shipments out to customers before the end of July. We currently have a small batch of units left over from batch 2/3 orders that were cancelled after they were produced. We plan to use those to fill some batch 4 shipments. If you see people with batch 4 shipments before this July 25th date, that is where they came from. If Altera delays the order further, we will send out another email no later than July 25th.

If you need to make any changes to your order, including getting a refund, you can do so by replying to this email. We appologize for the delay.

Best,

-Retro Remake

Aurora "Backing up Title Updates": I wish you wouldn't

Just went through the process of setting up ABadAvatar USB with Aurora; it's been "Backing up title updates" for like 15 minutes... Could have asked me if I wanted to do this, or warned me with some sort of explanation first if it's an absolute necessity...

Finding the crest of waveform on fretted string

Picking near the bridge produces a sound with the most treble, and picking at the crest of the wave (the part in the middle where the string vibrates the most) produces the least. This crest point is always one octave up on the fretboard. So, on an open string, picking at the twelfth fret, the open octave fret, produces the most round sound. But if you're holding fret 2, that means the crest is now one octave up from there, so fret 14. Of course if you're holding high frets you have be able to visualize the halfway point, it will be off the end of the fretboard.

As an American, we still have to wait months to see a doctor or dentist

I see this argument all the time that with public health care like Canada or the U.K. you have to wait a long time to see anyone and it's literally projection. American voters, and even moreso, non-voters are so stupid.

I would probably buy the MacBook Neo if it had at least one real USB port and maybe an SD card slot

not a pro feature - - chromebooks have both
