Astro Slide - General Discussion / Re: IndieGoGo are now refunding
« Last post by infinite2 on April 30, 2024, 12:25:42 pm »
IndieGoGo did an investigation into Planet Computers and found they broke the rules. They subsequently locked Planet out of the Astro campaign and froze the funds associated with it.

You need to contact IndieGoGo for the refund, and they will use those frozen funds. I'm guessing they're not announcing it publicly because they don't have enough funds to cover every backer, so it's first come, first served until the funds are gone.

Who is "they," Planet or Indigogo?  The only option I could find was to ask Planet for a refund but your post seems to imply Indigogo would be making the refund.

Astro Slide - General Discussion / IndieGoGo are now refunding
« Last post by infinite2 on April 30, 2024, 03:17:24 am »
Hi everyone. I just wanted to let you all know that IndieGoGo have begun refunding backers of the Astro Slide crowdfunding campaign, but you have to contact them in order to initiate it (they just refunded me).

You need to go to IndieGoGo's Trust and Safety page, and contact them directly.

They told me they are using the frozen funds from the campaign, so I don't know how many people can be refunded. If you never received your device and want your money back, you should be quick!

Gemini PDA - Linux / Re: worth picking up a Gemini PDA today (2024) for Linux ?

I'm using Gemini exclusively on my Gem, with a patched exagear to run a couple of x86 programs. You'll probably need a battery, but there are a couple of threads here about workaround replacements. I'm using a Huawei 2200mAh battery that gives enough juice to compute for 5-6 hours, but probably not enough to work as an all-day phone.

Given that Gemini provides both wifi and data, along with desktop-quality apps, it's my favorite handheld, even more than my PinePhone/kb.

Got my post approved after I have been made moderator of r/Zaurus , heh :)

https://www.reddit.com/r/Zaurus/comments/1cbta39/does_anybody_have_a_copy_of_pp4zaurus_j2me/

On a side note, a complete mirror of Meanie's feed would be also great to find, too bad I didn't mirror it myself back in the days.

EDIT: I have tried to send an email to Meanie, I have probably found a working email address of his, fingers crossed.

Thanks Varti!

I thought I got lucky today, but it was a dead link:

http://www2u.biglobe.ne.jp/~fsasaki/download/pp4zaurus-1_0-ea4a-linux-arm-OptimizedJIT_nosym.zip

Yes, it seems that personal-profile-for-zaurus_arm.ipk is contained within pp4zaurus-1_0-ea4a-linux-arm-OptimizedJIT_nosym.zip.

I have checked at home in my personal archives but I have not found it. I'll see if I'll find the other file you mentioned, I see it was the actual package inside the .zip file. In the meantime I have tried to ask support on the www.java.com site (though I highly doubt they'll still have the archive) and tried to add a comment in these two old blogs, maybe we'll be lucky and they still have a copy of it, though I'm not sure my comments have passed through...

I have also tried to ask on Reddit, there still seem to be a couple of users lurking there, though my post is being rejected by Reddit's antispam filter, I have sent a message to the mods:
