Random video of the day...

E-waste will be reduced when you just upgrade the main board with a new piece of system-on-a-chip... But how long the main board will be compatible with the new inserted System-on-a-chip? 5 years?

If you buy a desktop computer, you could easily use it for five years without upgrading.

Personally, I feel they should make it smaller and with a stronger battery that is able to power it for longer periods of time. There's no reason they can't, because the motherboard is so small.

 

Also, I hope it has an analog headphone jack. Please do include a DAC.

I found out the other day that the guys responsible for the legendary series of "dick in a box", "the golden rule" and "mother lover" have quite a few songs.... So funny! :)

 

Oh yeah, hell funny! And don't forge their "I just had sex" :D Turtleneck and Chain are soo funny!

Android is coming for the desktop... I hope this sort of thing expands.

 

I already saw a "computer-in-the-keyboard" type computer, but running I think Windows or Linux. Its really strange, and presumable wasn't upgradable, but anyway, it was so cheap that upgrading it would be a waste of time and the target usage (websurfing, etc) makes upgrading useless, anyway.

 

OTOH, I'm not really sure that the point is, anyway. Sure, you no longer need the computer but you need to connect all cables to they keyboard (which might make it more awkward and stiff on your desktop), so it isn't a laptop replacement (for that it needs wireless display WiDi).

 

Putting android on everything seems the rage nowawadays, but it is actually step back for the user. You only have a fixed set of apps, the google spying, malware is there, too, and you cannot install software freely as you want. Seems to me all the drawbacks, but very little advantages over having a real OS. It is fine for media players and "consuming devices", but not so for real "creating" and software development etc.

 

Edit. "Coolship is a strongly customized Android version" - ugh, NOO. That means in 3 years it is no longer updated, incompatible with other stuff, and you can't replace the OS with your own, anyway. Oh well.

This video should have been at least twice as long, he talks way to fast and skips over some interesting details in 1 second. But I guess it is taylored to the twitter generation where nothing can exceed your tiny attention span of ooh shiny!

I couldn't imagine the video any minute longer - it was all okay for me :laugh:

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.
