A better question would be why are you guys such assholes?

+Nathan Strum Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 None of this is news. It's two pages of marketing buzzwords that say nothing of substance, except perhaps "We're announcing that we're going to make an announcement." Basically, it's another round of "All your questions will be answered at the Toy Fair." This. Exactly this. When they get back up to the point of making empty promises, then it approaches news. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since this thread started, I have made multiple IoT devices, you can't buy off the shelf, just because. Some are even controllable via Alexa. For the $3 or so dollars it would cost me, I would add that to my WizBox. STOCK++; Alexa: "Turn on WizBox" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+frankodragon Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 From what I've seen on Twitter, Atari SA is only focusing on only posting penny tweets instead of doing any actual work of said box. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bojay1997 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Flextronics on the hardware is legit. Flextronics will assemble whatever you pay them to assemble. They don't invest in the products they manufacture and they aren't a sign of legitimacy anymore than any other company that will sell you there goods or services is a reflection that what you do with those goods and services is somehow legitimate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+x=usr(1536) Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Share news about the Ataribox on an Ataribox forum- get rude childish responses. We've been through this before: tacos > Ataribox. A better question would be why are you guys such assholes? Don't worry about the 'why', just sit back and marvel at how well we do it! But whatever you do, don't stop for a moment to think about the common denominator in all of your failed and / or contentious relationships. It couldn't possibly be that. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Someone just sent me this! They claim it's an earlier draft of that document, and it was written by someone named "Flugel Mark" or "Seagull Flock" or something like that. It's all just as real as the Ataribox itself! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+frankodragon Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 LOL. I actually got some rough draft myself but they're using something else called brickchaining. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vcoleiro1 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 So Atari have two crypto currentcy tokens and not just the Atari Token . The other one is to be used for online gambling called Pong token. Some weird names for a rcrypto https://www.boursier.com/actions/actualites/news/crypto-casinos-ataribox-dans-dix-jours-atari-dira-tout-sur-ses-projets-759261.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Historian Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Flextronics will assemble whatever you pay them to assemble.

I just meant that the the Flextronics deal is a true thing. Confirming that at least that part of the screen shot is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I believe the Flextronics and AMD aspects of the AtariBox® pitch. That's not where the problems are. But to get back on topic ... Irish tacos??? You can certainly eat corned beef with boiled cabbage and carrots, but it can be a great deal more exciting to pile the shredded meat — ruddy pink, salty, fatty and meltingly sweet — into warm flour tortillas, then top it with a bright, crunchy, slightly fiery cabbage slaw. The contrast between the soft and the crisp, the salt and the sweet, is fantastic — particularly if you adorn each taco with a few pickled jalapeños and, perhaps, an additional swipe of mayonnaise. It’s not fusion cooking, nor appropriation. It’s just the fact that everything tastes good on a warm tortilla. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godslabrat Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 This warrants clarification. I dont have any issue believing AMD or Flextronics can provide the components or assembly (respectively). The conclusion Im not going to draw, however, is that their involvement is any kind of endorsement of Atari. Nor do I think that having those companies named makes the project any more credible or likely. Basically, this means if Atari can place an order, theyll fill it. Thats all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacman000 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Remember the Atari Jaguar is made by IBM in America! You can trust that it'll be around for a long, long time. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetick1 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Remember the Atari Jaguar is made by IBM in America! You can trust that it'll be around for a long, long time. Yep IBM does not get the five hundred million dollar contracts to build electronics in the US like they did for the Jaguar. It's all in China, South Korea and Taiwan nowadays 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 5. They have actual working custom hardware that costs half of the price of an AcePC. (To say nothing of the cost compared to non-existent pipe dreams) Do you think they have the resources to design an intel processor compatible motherboard that is multi-layer and has traces that are length-critical? This is off-the-shelf hardware. Nothing custom about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPUWIZ Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Media whores? You won’t find a single post about this other than me. Anyway.. just thought I’d share the good news so you guys can keep an eye open. See ya later... [emoji895] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I can see what you do all the time, all it is you looking at this dumbass thread. If you want to learn a bit about the real Atari, visit some other sub forums. Seems a bit obsessive to me. What "good news" are you referring to? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDTAY Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Man, I feel like I've missed a lot of thread. When did tacos get dragged into this? All they've ever aspired to do is fill the bellies of hungry Mexicans; I hate to see them insulted like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
