~THG Derek January 2023 Update~ (Patreon)

Hi Everyone, Derek here.

Hope you've all had a great January so far.

I just wanted to fill you all in on the progress on D401. Overall, things are still progressing fairly normally. I am probably a couple days behind the estimated timeline shared on Dec31, as I had to do a few more unexpected light rebuilds. However, the QA testing is ahead of schedule, so it's probably safe to say we are still mostly on track!

Some more good news on my end. After years struggling with slow internet, (as I live in a very rural area) I have finally been connected to FTTH. This will prove extremely useful in the testing process as it's much easier to send out QA builds on a gigabit upload speed compared to my old 10mbps.

I have included the latest version of the progress plan. As you can see, we are making very good progress. I think we will have 4 more QA builds, with at least one of those starting this week.

Finally, I've decided to record a quick little treat for all of you. This is mainly to illustrate the enourmous performance improvements made in V1.5 compared to V1.4. Of course, the room I have chosen is none other than the lounge; the source of many of the problems in V1.4.
