Update: uConsole shipping related

Well it still means they have the RISC module in stock. Maybe the uConsoles with RISC will ship earlier?

That is the reason I ordered the uConsole with the R-01 when they first announced. I do have a CM3 module that should fit if they release software or if I spin a version for it.

How sad, ClockWork credit is not very good, and China’s May Day holiday is coming up for 5 days. Shipments are expected to be scheduled until mid-May, or even June.

There is a ton of geopolitical drama between the West and China at the moment. Clockworkpi probably can’t comment on any of it because they are doing business in China and want to remain in good standing with the country.

Its a side effect of small batch, niche, handheld computers. The DevTerm was similar as was the Gameshell. Its just the nature of the game.

I really don’t think it has anything to do with diplomatic tensions. It takes time for anything you ship to clear customs, and Alex told us that there was a chance that the Labour Day holidays would cause a delay.

I just sent an email to confirm that the shipping time in mainland China will not be faster in advance, but will be shipped after obtaining the export license from the customs. This time, users all over the world are on the same starting line .

It’s okay… Long live the king!

On the flip side, looks like we are projecting mid-May now. We are already over half a year now. So hopefully this will be the month. I am really looking forward to starting some Dev forums on here with some code. I love this community, you guys have made this wait something of an experience :smiley:

On a random note, I just realized that I left an e out of my name on here…

Mid may of what year? :stuck_out_tongue:

International Workers’ Day, also known as May Day, is a public holiday observed on May 1st in China, during which businesses and government offices typically close. This holiday is dedicated to celebrating the accomplishments of workers and advocating for workers’ rights, often resulting in a slowdown or pause of bureaucratic processes, such as customs procedures, during the celebration.

In recent years, the duration of the Labor Day holiday in China has varied. It can range from a one-day public holiday on May 1st to an extended holiday that lasts up to five days, depending on the government’s decision in a given year. It is common for people in China to enjoy a short break from work during this period, which may result in temporary closures of businesses and government offices. Keep in mind that the exact duration of the holiday might change from year to year, so it’s essential to check the specific schedule for the year in question.

Looks like this year Chinese labor day is from 4/29 till 5/3. So things should be back to normal on Thursday.

Thank you @markatlnk, completely forgot to research that important detail haha! #communitygotyoback

Y’all worried for nothing. I’m currently waiting on the Butter Robot from Digital Dream Labs. I made that purchase 2.5 years ago. There was a state of manufacturing update last week after no news for 6 months, that stated: It’s done as a product, but due to recent affairs, Adult Swim and Warner Bros. have fully taken over the product and they wish it’s release to coincide with the release of Season 8 of Rick & Morty. They basically told me as an investor, that I’d have to wait another year or two. The latest news on SE8, is that the writers began writing it almost a year ago. Patience (unless otherwise deterred by legal matters or world events) should be observed.

You guys need to chill out, three closed threads of nonsense? Did you ever think maybe the constant daily barrage of “is it done yet?” towards any ounce of communication from the dev team on the device might be why they limit exposure to the community. Then the cynical puddle guy constantly nagging about the expected date being pushed out on every thread and acting like this is all a scam because of a delay. Calm the hell down and let them work, they’re people with priorities aside from this project. Well all want the product in our hands, but hey patience is a virtue.

Couldn’t agree more. It’s ready when it’s ready. We should only post when there’s an actual official update.
