One of our servers will be undergoing emergency maintenance from 10am to 12 noon PDT on October 16, 2025. During this period, some chumby devices may temporarily revert to "clock mode", but should return to normal operation on their own when the server is restored.

Our hosting provider is currently having connectivity issues which is affecting the devices. @chumby devices may revert to clock mode, but should return to normal when the servers are back online.

If you have a #SonyDash and accept the 1.7.1604 update, we may not be able to support that dash in the future. Many devices are bricking.

@CraicDesign We did some of the middleware, they did the OS. In the current issue, the device isn't even getting to any of our code.
@CraicDesign Hey, we have nothing to do with dash! @chumby devices are still alive.
