The M1 Max pushes 400 GB/sec. In what world is that "slow RAM" and what laptop -- or desktop -- computer can you buy that is faster than that?

Most of this is not historically accurate. Vista required 512 MB. In practice, that probably sucked, but those were the paper specs. XP might have required 64 MB on paper but it crawled and was practically useless on that spec (like Win

AmigaOS, at least 1.x, does not redraw full windows while moving. It does the outline thing.

For 18V tools, Makita seems to be the safest bet since they have used the same battery standard since 2005. There are adapters for Makita batteries to every other brand readily available on eBay/AliExpress etc.

i.e when Ghz stopped being a useful metric (or sole metric) for CPU we switched to other measurements, we did not redefine what Ghz represented. They really did try to muddy the waters back when CPU clock was the only commonplace metric

WinAmp's mod player was wildly inaccurate anyway, so it's probably not a great loss. IIRC it specifically didn't support a lot of IT features (instrument filter envelopes, etc)

You could include LIDAR with the camera and use that data to verify that there is depth to the image.

This is correct. A system like the NES, SNES or Genesis never loaded any graphics or code into RAM unless they were doing special tricks. It was all ROM mapped into the CPU address space. Larger games, especially on systems with a 16-bit ad

Lastly you haven't even got your estimations of memory right. The Sega CD had a few megabytes of dedicated RAM (which is at least an order of magnitude more than you claimed) 6 mega bits = 768 kilobytes.

On the surface it seems like a very strange assertion. Even if there were subtle GDI rendering differences -- which I doubt -- it is hard to believe that a printout would let them positively identify Intel HD Graphics 630 specifically, as

On x86, a Pentium 75 was just about the absolute minimum for playing the common 128 kbps stereo MP3s of the time. A DX4/100 could just barely do it if you were running a performant MS-DOS player and doing nothing else at the same tim

You could go with Lazarus[0]. It is dead simple to use (hope you like Pascal, though) and can use native widgets from your choice of Win32, Cocoa, GTK+ or QT. [0] https://www.lazarus-ide.org/
