the AeroGavin strap-on is coming up on the next elevator.

also, the bats flapped, the fish bubbled, the sun smiled and the robot flailed its hooks wildly.

Lore, from "Descent".

i wasn't much interested because x86/x64 thermals are a horrible match for an SBC form factor, buuuut, Explaining Computers on YT just did a video where he used the (huge) heatsink case and fan, and while it quickly throttled with the supplied thermal pad, he added a (third party) copper shim and paste, and then could run long benchmarks without throttling. interesting.

is that to avoid using liquid vinegar?

collective nouns are like "team" or "group", they're happy to be "a team" or "one group"

data doesn't work like that, people say "a data point", or "one piece/item of data". (because datum is almost a dead word)

it's more accurate to say data is a mass noun, a. k.a. an uncountable noun, like air, sand, rice.

to be fair, the Raspberry Pi has never been pitched as an idiot-proof consumer appliance.

it is supposed to be a cheap way for people to get into studying programming /computing / electronics.

the benefits of Bazzite are centred around it having good performance with nVidia / AMD / Intel GPUs.

RasPi doesnt work with those GPUs, so it makes sense Bazzite wouldn't support it.

adding to abnorc's excellent answer - circuit diagrams are all drawn as if charge carriers are positive (this is called "conventional current"), but because electrons are negative, this can get very confusing when you're dealing with components where the flow of charge is one-way only (diodes, transistors, batteries, photometers...)

almost 40 000 rubles for a dollar!

that's not arbitrary - the hour hand of a clock mimics the shadow of a sundial.

it makes sense, in the northern hemisphere, where 90% of people live.
