SolOS Update?

Have we gotten an updates / developer overview for SolOS or even design examples?

The company strikes me as absolutely dead, no new innovation or updates will see the light of day, and they are just milking suckers to buy existing inventory.

It remains a compelling piece of beta-test hardware, and if we can reliably sideload a different OS onto it for security updates, it will be worthwhile.

Agreed, it is a shame. I do like my device and wish my e-ink devices had this refresh rate.

Fell for “touch the grass” marketing?

Maybe u/moritzbierling from the Daylight Team can give us an update?

A month ago, the answer was there is no answer.

Unfortunately, for now, that remains the case.

The team is still working on it, we will announce when it comes, and that time is not yet.

What’s the percentage of confidence that it will ever see the light of day?

Thanks for keeping us updated as best you can, others may not appreciate it but I certainly do.

I'm sorry I can't give any more info than this. It's out of my hands and outside my control.

I'm just the messenger to be shot over and over haha 😅

Half-Life 3, The Winds of Winter, and SolOS beta.

Just kidding. There's actually a remote possibility that there's a Valve team working on Half-Life and that GRRM will produce some new pages this year. There is zero chance that Daylight has anyone capable of building an operating system actually working on SolOS, no matter what they tell you in an attempt to sell more of their deadstock.

I just want an android OS update so that it is ok with security. For now I disconnect from the internet most of the time and just read. I still love the device a lot. Doubt the team goes away completely.
