At that size, for that speed, I wonder why wifi was discarded. Depends on the components connecting, I guess, but if each component is custom I imagine adding a small wifi chip to each could be smaller overall?

The dude raises some valid points.

One way to avoid looking like a fool is to look beyond just the headline- This video starts out by saying they have more Linux installs than windows, across various VMs on SBCs.

But it uses the most powerful GPU known to humans- Imagination!

My friend in Katy! Such a banger.

Not a fan of the Kanye version though.

I put off Factorio for years, because I knew I’d like it a lot. Had some free time in my life recently, so I went for it.

Send help.

My dude, no need to be such a dick about it.

Is there an issue with running OBD for the accessories, but not the engine?

I don’t think that Dubai, or anywhere in the UAE, ever had a ban on women driving.

Are you thinking of Saudi Arabia? Different country.

Following on from this, they do make music like they used to. Just like they used to, there’s heaps standard fare being shoveled out the door. Every now and then, there’s a good one that stands the test of time.

This happens in every era, not just the music you grew up with.

I’m about to sit down for the next six hours. I’m happy to stand for a bit.

I think this thread just goes to show that ‘modern technology crap’ is relative. For some, adaptive cruise control is modern technology crap, for others, electronic fuel injection is modern technology crap. I recall when power windows were thought to be crap, because when the switch breaks, you can’t open the window any more. It’s the same with any new tech.

I’ll need a source for that claim buddy

But rack mount programmable touchscreens are sexy!

Sandwiches are eaten like a typewriter.

I’m so confused. You pivot your elbows and smash the sandwich into your face like the letters hitting the page? You take lots of fast, noisy bites like the sound of typing? You nibble the top piece of bread from left to right, then the filling from left to right, then the bottom, going ‘ding!’ in between?

Eurovision has very little to do with being in Europe. Even Australia is in Eurovision, and they are definitely not in Europe.

In my comment elsewhere in the thread I talk about how, as a complete software noob, I like to design programs by making a flowchart first, and how I wish the flowchart itself was the code.

It sounds like what I’m doing might be (super basic) programming architecture? Where can I go to learn more about this?

As someone who’s had a bit of exposure to PLCs and ladder logic, and dabbled in some more ‘programming’ type languages, I would love to find some sort of ‘language’ that fits together like ladder logic, but for more computery type applications.

I like systems, not programs. Most of my software design is done by building a flowchart, then stumbling around trying to figure out how to write that into code. I feel it would be so much easier if I could just make the flowchart be the code.

I want a grown up Scratch.

I believe it’s more a case of most plastics being produced using a by-product of the oil refining process.

So the use of plastic is subsidising the oil and gas industry.

Genuine question - why would the house numbers be different?

In urban areas, I’m used to house numbers starting at 1 at one end of the street, then incrementing as you go along. Usually odds and evens are on the opposite sides of the street. So the house on the corner will be 1, the house opposite it will be 2, the house next to 1 will be 3, and so on.

Each street starts the numbers again.

Is this not the case where you are?
