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 That means in 3 years it is no longer updated, incompatible with other stuff, and you can't replace the OS with your own, anyway.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:

      Today I started writing readables for my WIP mission.
      I wrote my usual text and then crammed it into AI and boom, high quality stuff comes out.
      I used to say that clipper is the mappers best friend, but now it seems it is more like "AI is the mappers best friend."

      Is there a thread for "Moving Day 2: Look Who's Moving Now"? If not, could someone hint me on what is Dick's birthday? This mission is quite enjoyable on its disturbing creepy implications.

      Can we get a few more players to try out "You Only Fly Thrice" and "Pinnacle: A Test of Talents" ? ( 15yr contest missions ). It would be nice to conclude contest voting in time for Moddb award season if possible.
