Godot is going to see a massive migration, I can already feel it. No huge company behind it, waiting to do a rugpull.

Isn't this the idea of having a chipset (Northbridge/Southbridge) on the board, to handle some of these IO tasks?

Also, I recently saw the Cathode Ray Dude video on Dell's Brain Slug, where down basically hijacked the system with a low-power ARM SBC. I almost wonder if something like this would be possible, it would obviously require a revision but it would theoretically allow for suspended downloads, invite notifications, etc. It would also be fairly expensive and complex though

The Pro is faster from what I understand, it seems to support 3.0 or 3.1(?)

Admittedly, NixOS fixes this with a single config file that can rebuild your system in minutes, then the built-in backup tool can restore your files. So yes, absolutely. That being said, that's limited to a few declarative distros

This is me with those stupid "Dude relaaaaaaaxxxx" ads for Hello Fresh. I watch them, oddly mesmerized by how bad they are. Also some of the things they show are literally 3 ingredients (potatoes, cheese, pepper for smashed potatoes).

To their credit, they've stopped claiming they're cheaper than groceries

I second this 👀

I agree about the Nintendo exclusive games, but the price is about the same. 320 US dollars gets you a refurbished 64 GB steam deck, which is basically the same price as the standard Switch and even cheaper than the OLED model. Not to mention all the great sales and cheap keys you can get

Just to clarify, not to start a whole debate, but it's not truly free. You are paying for it through taxes which means it's probably cheaper for the average person, which is fair, but you pay a heck of a lot more in taxes than some other countries. Here in the US, generally low income people will qualify for "free" healthcare and university (or if not, universities will typically cover the majority of tuition with grants). Kindergarten through 12th grade is covered by taxes for everyone as well. I do like the idea of requiring a certain percentage of properties to be high-density, that way you don't have a developer building exclusively luxury properties and screwing everybody else over.

Right right, nobody said it was. Just an example of what it could do, but nobody says that was all it could do

Church is meaningless if it's not provided at a useful voltage though. What people truly care about is usable energy, which is what Watt-hours or Joules tell us. For example, I don't care if my portable battery pack is 1000 milliamp hours, it's meaningless unless I also know The battery chemistry used (nominal voltage) and the number of cells so I can figure out the actual potential energy.

Also, as a phone's battery ages, if I'm not mistaken it truly does hold less "charge", but I still believe the more useful metric is actual energy stored. That's how it's done in the EV scene, you use kWh to see how much energy is left in your battery. As the battery ages, "100%" represents slightly lesser energy (kWh)

I don't find that to be a particularly compelling argument though. If you go to buy a lead acid battery for solar usage, for example, they give you the capacity based on a 20-hour discharge (or, 1/20th C rate). The same could absolutely be done for primary batteries

They both tell the same story, but one requires extra information you don't have. You don't say that the latest i3 pulls 6 Amps, you say it pulls 65 Watts. Also the voltage does change as the battery discharges, that's why you use the nominal voltage of the pack. mAh is also not a current
