Joerg-Neo900to summarize: [2018-06-13 23:18:58] <houkime> I wasn't first of all because it is not subscribable (at least I haven't found a way to do it which means people are not likely to) + many other small things. [...] subscription is important. <houkime> I mean to have nice email notifications about any issue progress  <Joerg-Neo900> I get email notifications  <houkime> I'm thinking about people right now <houkime> We're not in a situation to make a00:02
Joerg-Neo900proud pose and set high barriers. [...]  It is about your attitude towards the work you're doing00:02
Joerg-Neo900I think my attitude towards what I'm doing is OK. If you think it isn't then sorry, it probably won't change00:04
houkimehttp://projects.goldelico.com/p/neo900/issues/ Where do you see a button to subscribe, Joerg?00:08
houkimeand I do have an account there.00:09
houkimewell. The thing is I don't really ask you to do anything since i have already learnt that it is futile.00:12
houkimeI do everything myself. You just asked what is wrong with the way it is now.00:12
Joerg-Neo900it's definitely futile to insult me00:15
houkimeSorry for that. Though I don't have real anger problems anymore irritation makes me straightforward.00:19
houkime+1 to make things comfy so people are less nervous.00:20
houkimeplan for tomorrow - resize UPPER (actually tempted to just copypast edgecut of LOWER) so that it matches LOWER size-wize and LOWER can be mapped onto it with a transform. Make transforms from stl to UPPER and from LOWER to UPPER. Adjust all UPPER things that have a fixed place so that they follow stl.03:55
houkimemap a cam copy from LOWER to UPPER.03:57
houkimeAnd later connectors should also be mapped. Probably keyboard will be flexing more -_-x than -_-y so vertical connector is not really vulnerable to this in addition to providing some support to reduce flexing when placed partly in the keyboard area.03:59
houkimedo we need mounting holes on UPPER or it is purely connector-fixed?04:02
houkimefunny thing that this metal bar on the top surface of pcb can also have sth to do with providing additional stiffness -_-x axis.04:04
houkimeadjusted UPPER. Made finger openings. Made Made lower2upper transform.20:29
ravelohoukime: really great to read about your achievements21:23
houkimeravelo: thx. however any emerging problem can ruin all efforts.21:35
raveloOk21:36
ravelo:S21:36
raveloWhat are the main risks? Space restriction? Electrical layouting problems?21:38
houkimeyep, and it is worst when you didn't foresee it aforehead, like Joerg and Werner failed to foresee a usb colliding with connector which nulliified some work done and became a huge headache.21:41
houkimebecause remaining space was not enogh to have a configuration even nerly as it was in docs21:42
houkime(partly because of an sd card holder on the other side of BoB)21:43
houkimeand now I foresee huge troubles with sims.21:44
houkimeBasicaly both of them are more or less fixed in place by case or other reason21:45
Joerg-Neo900no challenge no fame21:45
houkimeand you can't really even place esds on the one of them which is under the modem without moving the modem a bit.21:46
raveloMaybe time to simplify it, to reduce those risks?21:53
raveloAs I already said, I don't like the all or nothing approach21:54
DocScrutinizer51I don't like the Mit looks difficult so lets simplify it before even trying' approach21:56
DocScrutinizer51the prototypes are menat to see what can be done, not to p.ay safe21:57
DocScrutinizer51please rethink your definition of 'risk'21:58
raveloOk21:59
raveloRisk: Invest a lot of time in layouting to find out in the end that it's not possible21:59
raveloThan doing refactoring and again find out it's not possible because of another restriction22:00
DocScrutinizer51when tou don't want to invest work to achieve the best possible result, this project is clearly yoo risky for you22:01
DocScrutinizer51sorry no glasses, this doesn't work anymore like it usd to. BBL22:02
raveloI always forget this is still a Prototype22:03
raveloSo you might be right22:04
houkimePlanning ahead is what Im trying to do right now to not get caught in the corner. Even started a bit of a tool on that.22:05
houkimeand an issue board (besides publicity) is also a thing to help first of all ME to have all painspots in one accessible place in order not to forget anything.22:06
Joerg-Neo900that's a very valid purpose23:02
Joerg-Neo900ravelo: have you ever read the "Why you can't innovate like Apple"?23:12
Joerg-Neo900https://www.pragmaticmarketing.com/resources/articles/you-cant-innovate-like-apple23:14
Joerg-Neo900ravelo: btw when you do a large project, say a transcontinental street, then you first project and possibly even build the most difficult and risky parts like bridges and tunnels. You don't "Invest a lot of time in [asphalting] to find out in the end that it's not possible"23:52
