   I like they use main processing unit from a Dutch company; is its ROM open source or/and can be accessed? All ARM-based Sytem-on-Chips do have a proprietary ROM, which is used mainly for boot-up and multicore management. But there&#x27

   How did our predecessors drink before pottery was invented? You just cannot stay for all time close to a source of water, right? I suggest a kind of fruits/veggies might be a better source of water especially when you move.

   I cannot find a data sheet for its CPU (BCM2711B0). Is Pi4 actually an open hardware system?

   With increased progress in robotics there will be even less reasons to send people not just to the moon but even to low Earth orbit. If you downvote, please explain why you disagree.

    I have a mixed feeling about this new technology war. On one side I think China being a quite poor country has a good chance to improve life of millions of its people if it continues to innovate in AI and Robotics. On the other side, these

    And it's a legal easy way to force you to update. And every update introduces some slowness. They use all these tricks really to make you feel needed to buy a new faster device. Apple does it since years.

    Basically all civilizations end like this. There were many before, there might be some in the future. If we'll destroy biology completely we still have a small chance a new type of existence can emerge - silicon based intelligent form,

    Overpopulation is real. We moved from 4 billions in 1974 to current 7.7 billions in 2019. Projections are more than 11 billions around 2100.

    Technology alone is not enough. Every 12 to 15 years we are adding 1 billion people more. We expect 9 billion people around 2050. More air pollution, water pollution, soil contamination, less forests, etc. https://en.wikipedia.or
