You probably want a computer designed around performance instead of "community". Check out the Odroid C2. It's got a 64 bit quad core CPU (just* like the Pine and RPi3) but clocked at 2GHz. And has real gigabit. And has twi

Probably a cost saving measure. The entire board feels like it was put together to tick off a bunch of features. 64 bit quad core with bluetooth and wifi? Check. Meanwhile the clock is still a measly 1.2GHz, the wifi is only 2.4GHz, the

Practically it could work out very well. The Big Three might voluntarily standardize on a battery formfactor and swapping bay, because it would put them ahead of Tesla. "Our patent is free, follow our lead Mr Musk." There could s

This is in the context of programmers-who-have-already-been-hired-at-microsoft. And possibly speaks to a lack of training/mentoring. Edit: and something Gates said 20 years ago. Learning new things makes you a better programmer, alwa

If you are paying for Applecare, you are paying for "more not better". A second laptop is zero (amortized) overhead: every night your real laptop rsyncs back to the spare. Battery floats at 70% charge, nothing to worry about the

Nah, for $1500 I could have five of these machines. Or two laptops and a powerful headless build box. You can do a lot better than a mere 10% gain with that sort of budget. You are throwing good money at diminishing returns.

Well it is the best netbook I've seen in eight years. With the exception of the meager number of ports and the glossy screen, the hardware is wonderful. Everything else comes down to software. Some of the difficulties were because I

These 64 bit Allwinner SOCs only have a 32 bit* memory bus anyway (presumably to reduce board cost), so an x32 mode could double performance for pointer-heavy code. * Anyone remember the 8088?

Thanks, that made it much easier to drill down. Specifically there is @media (max-width: 701px) { ... } @media (min-width: 700px) and (max-width: 1100px) { ... } And that toggles the visibility of some classes. I didn't

Offtopic, but what is the CSS trick they are using to handle zoom? I've got JS disabled and when I zoom the page the spammy sidebars vanish. I am not familiar with this and it references 18 CSS files, making it tedious to dig through

Price is typically a very good indicator. (I use it as well.) The only weakness is that it assumes the "exchange rate" between dollars and resources are equal in all circumstances. This is likely not always the case when the ch

Thank you! That does put an upper ceiling on power draw. (When I measure, I either use a bench PSU or splice a DMM in line.)

Pros: * cheapest 64 bit ARM * 8GB flash * onboard GPS Cons: * relatively slow cores * 1GB ram * no usb3 * no ethernet (100 or 1000) * no sata For lightweight desktop/server use, this is a horrible board. The XU4 blows it away on all c
