- Comment on 1GB Raspberry Pi 5 now available at $45, and memory-driven price rises 1 week ago:
A typical microcontroller like a Raspberry Pico ESP32, or Arduino has 520K of RAM. Not Megabytes but Kilobytes. There’s no OS. There are no drivers. There’s no sound or video output. You run a development environment on your pc, it compiles the code to byte code and then you transfer that data to the rom built into the microcontroller using the development environment because in most cases the Microcontroller flash isn’t visible to Windows/Mac/Linux as a fat drive.
Using a 1GB Pi as a microcontroller means you boot Linux, run Scratch/Python, C, type your code, and test it dynamically. You are running a single simple program that would otherwise run on a 200 Mhz CPU with 520k ram. So a 2.4Ghz Pi with 1 Gigabyte ram is gigantic in comparison making development much easier.

Yes for more money.
- Comment on 1GB Raspberry Pi 5 now available at $45, and memory-driven price rises 1 week ago:
You can use Scratch, the drag and drop flowchart programming language for young children to read and write to the gpio ports. My son did an elementary school science fair project with it.
A few years later I pulled out the same Pi and used it with Scratch to make a temporary cat litter box alarm when I needed a urine sample for the vet. I use esp32s for my projects but using the Pi took minutes instead of hours program.
- Comment on 1GB Raspberry Pi 5 now available at $45, and memory-driven price rises 1 week ago:
Because Pi programming is extremely easy. My son programmed his Pi in Scratch for the elementary school Science Fair. There’s no way he could have learned C to do it with a real microcontroller.
- Comment on The Enshittification of Plex Is Kicking Off, Starting with Free Roku Users 1 week ago:
I don’t consider a feature that was supposed to be paywalled for years and is finally enforced enshitification. I bought a lifetime plexpass at least 5 years ago because that was one of the features they said you needed to pay for.
Real Plex enshitification is how they push their media and suggestions without allowing you to configure your own media defaults. I have a Plex setup to share home videos with my Mother in law. But Plex forces “recommended” as the default instead of library view. How do they even know what to recommend?

1gb makes it an easier to program microcontroller.

There seem to be many bot accounts posting. I’ve given up and just downvote if it’s a bad recommendation.

Yeah I did it wrong.
- Comment on China reaches energy independence milestone by ‘breeding’ uranium from thorium 5 weeks ago:
Not only that but as I said in my pgp reply to him, he didn’t read the Thorium fuel cycle link in the wiki he referenced. U233 is the necessary stage to get energy from Thorium. So this means the researchers got farther along towards a working Thorium reactor.
(I did the pgp to actually foil llm’s from scraping instead of his proven wrong thorn character substitution which he keeps using despite haven’t been proven wrong.)

It is in the long term given that known uranium reserves are only good for a few hundred years of global energy requirements. Thorium is far more plentiful.

??? There is absolutely no need to fake a crash to do that. The kernel has access to all ram at all times.

I’ve seen many remakes but where do you buy the pc version to play any of them?
I replayed the PS2 version on my retroid but I think these mods need the windows version.
- Comment on As Microsoft lays off thousands and jacks up Game Pass prices, former FTC chair says I told you so: The Activision-Blizzard buyout is 'harming both gamers and developers' 2 months ago:
I don’t think you can blame it all the merger when MS is 3rd behind Sony and Tencent.
In game consoles Sony outsells MS 2 to 1. MS isn’t a monopoly in gaming.

Why would you use Docker desktop?
Because I’m just following the official guides on the NPM website.
- Comment on Microsoft to force install the Microsoft 365 Copilot app in October 2 months ago:
I’m just a simple man following the official install instructions. NPM: “Install Docker Compose” Docker: “Install Docker Desktop to install Docker Compose.”
- Comment on Microsoft to force install the Microsoft 365 Copilot app in October 2 months ago:
Yes, an AI bonzai buddy is built into Docker Desktop. It’s insane.
- Comment on Microsoft to force install the Microsoft 365 Copilot app in October 2 months ago:
I went to install nginx proxy manager and found out it’s only a docker container.
- Comment on Microsoft to force install the Microsoft 365 Copilot app in October 2 months ago:
Then you’ll install Docker because many apps are now only distributed as Docker containers.
At which time you’ll be greeted by “Ask Gordon” the AI agent built into Docker!
- Comment on Bosch dishwasher needs app for certain features 2 months ago:
I bought a new Bosch a year ago to replace my broken Bosch. The mandatory wifi to a cloud service to access the same features that were a physical button on my old Bosch made me incredibly angry. This was the highest end Bosch dishwasher they sell. There is absolutely no excuse.
Consumer Reports is dead to me. They didn’t mention it at all.

It is in no way a bomb. If this was the 1970’s, it would be the same as changing the combination on the safe and not telling anyone the combination after being fired.

Google says 80% compared to up to 95 for LifePO4. Extra 15% cost for waste heat during charging vs 10x cheaper battery.

The video says it’s 175 kwhr per kg compared to 185 for LFP that’s already used in some cars. Gold standard is Lion at 300. Volumetric is the same ratios.
So it’s usable in cars and absolutely immediately useable in homes.

Also the number of supported users does not scale linearly with the number of CPU cores
US population has grown 25% from the year 2000. Other than Anti AI detection, everything worked on the hardware of 25 years ago. Single core performance has gone up more than 25% over the past 25 years.

“State services” is database lookups and billing. Back in the 90’s, I supported 10k users (1.5k active at any moment) on a Pentium 3 with 512MB of Ram.

An entire state government could run on your phone but requires an entire data center because it’s written in JavaScript that emulates the original COBOL code that ran the government in the 1960’s.

To be fair that’s what America did to England.
