Dec 15 13:36:41 I hope it won't end up being a failure point. Dec 15 13:36:58 <@flux:matrix.org> (I backed it, I have Gemini) Dec 15 13:38:41 <@flux:matrix.org> maybe in this case they don't have all the mechanics installed yet there, so it looks even flimsier Dec 15 13:38:55 <@_telegram_101194863:hacklab.fi> It seems just more sort of... imperfectly balanced, which at least to me seems like as long as the parts are sufficiently s t r o n k and whatnot, that'll be fine... i'm happier with a fault tolerant device than one which is super perfect smooth the first hundred times and then snaps because the mechanism is too advanced :) Dec 15 13:39:09 <@_telegram_101194863:hacklab.fi> We shall see where it goes :) Dec 15 13:39:59 <@flux:matrix.org> IIRC the Nokia phones were quite good at that. so it's doable! but in this case it's a bit more complex structure, given how it goes flat at the end Dec 15 13:40:04 <@_telegram_101194863:hacklab.fi> For me, two handed is fine, that's kind of what i do anyway (i mean, one-handing a gemini or a cosmo is an ehrm... dubious proposition at the best of times), if it turns out to be one-handable for open-close, i'd more count that as a bonus :) Dec 15 13:40:47 <@flux:matrix.org> I sometimes do open Gemini with just one hand to look something up (not actually do anything, that would be difficult) Dec 15 13:41:01 <@flux:matrix.org> but I guess with this device I can do that more easily, because the screen is right there Dec 15 13:42:46 <@_telegram_101194863:hacklab.fi> what i mean is that yes, it /is/ doable, but also it's not precisely a straightforward operation :) Dec 15 13:49:04 <@_telegram_142134413:hacklab.fi> Astro will be perfect. One-handed check. Two-handed on a table, check. Dec 15 13:49:07 <@_telegram_142134413:hacklab.fi> * Astro will be perfect. One-handed check. Two-handed on a table, check. Dec 15 13:49:07 Cosmo is only for table work (which works for me actually). Dec 15 13:49:33 i never use cosmo on the table Dec 15 13:50:00 <@_telegram_101194863:hacklab.fi> Certainly the form factor makes a whole lot more sense than the Cosmo's :) I daily drive it and it's fine, but there are those moments of "yeah, this would just work better on a slab" :) Dec 15 13:50:02 i bought it so that i can write comfortably when i'm on the move Dec 15 22:47:47 <@_telegram_701506086:hacklab.fi> > <@flux:matrix.org> maybe in this case they don't have all the mechanics installed yet there, so it looks even flimsier Dec 15 22:47:47 When they released first mechanical videos of the Cosmo it looked flimsy as anything too... I wouldn't worry about it at this stage **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Dec 16 02:59:56 2020
