This [1] would suggest that a single BXM-4-64 integrated on an SoC can get up to about 4 gigapixels/s assuming the memory interface can manage it. I found another article [2] that talks about both the BeagleV and another board using th

I'd actually argue that ROM is still expensive unless you are making a lot of units, and it's been pretty much replaced everywhere by flash which can be commoditised leading to better economies of scale as well as having the advan

My dad bought an Amstrad CPC 464 for work in late 1985, and I was allowed to use it occasionally. I bought the Amstrad Action issue 4 Christmas special (now famous for having the first ever cover mounted computer cassette) containing two pr

I remember commenting with a "me too + info" on a bug years and years ago and finally stopped using Firefox for good about a decade ago mostly because this bug had been annoying me multiple times a day for years and Chrome was fin

Slightly off-topic, but the address system in Venice is fascinating. It's divided into 6 regions, and each building is numbered sequentially within that region regardless of what street it's in. Sounds weird, but I still remember

Generally, we have odd on one side and even on the other, so this isn't likely. The odds and evens are usually also allocated sequentially and independently, so it can be incredibly annoying when you're looking at the numbers on t

From the small number of US cities I've been to, it seems to be 100 numbers per block and roughly divided up between whatever's there. Sometimes evenly spaced, sometimes starting from 1 at one end at 99 at the other and a free for

Maybe not, but if you were to compare a low-resolution scan and a high-resolution scan of the painting, you'd easily see the difference.

Blade Runner was intended to be seen on 70mm film in a cinema. People who saw it at a 35mm-only cinema (the vast majority) would have experienced a slightly inferior picture quality. The 4K scan of the film may or may not match the quality

My cat was great at climbing ladders, but terrible coming down. She'd usually trip herself up in the third or fourth step coming down and end up hitting all the others on the way. It didn't stop her climbing the ladder to explore

EDIT: actually, re-reading the parent post after posting this, I'm now not sure if I'm agreeing with him in arguing with the GP or disagreeing with him. But either way, I'll leave my comment here to try to explain the thinkin

I like how the start of every bank contains a bank switch shim like this: SEI INC $C006 JMP BEGIN Then it goes into a lot of detail about how it does this to save space, but it seems to me that the only reason the JMP is even ne

I'm fairly big (and maybe compounded with a beard), so the ear straps always felt tight, and in fact I've had several masks break on the strap join as well as just being uncomfortable. I also dislike the way airflow is restricted

The problem with adopting requirements more stringent than national requirements is that many people may not be able to comply. As an example, one of the things this site suggests as an option is "Require vaccines, including boosters&q

From that article you linked to, while it's true that the figure for "NMHC" is higher (0.005g/min to 1.495g/min, yes this is almost 300x), this is just the worse case result - look at the other figures too: NOx is

I'm not sure about actively deceptive. What else does it mean? Hydrocarbon emissions are what you get when you burn hydrocarbons - H2O, CO2 and CO. If it's referring to a different thing, it's not a hydrocarbon emission. The

I don't have any figures to back this up, but I'd imagine that a significant chunk of shoplifters are teenagers, and given the 10 year lifetime of passports, their passport photos probably bear little resemblance to what they look

The problem is that "what sounds better" isn't the same question as "which one is uncompressed". The original CD version might have some high frequency stuff that's just on the edge of perception that you don&#

There was a massive boom in property prices just after 1999 though, which I'd argue was far more significant to the difference you cite. Looking at: https://www.propertyinvestmentproject.co.uk/property-statist... The a

I think this UI issue shows a problem in thinking about what the actual problem is that they're trying to solve. This bug is about contact cards , and so the relationship is necessarily between you and the contact. So, it's not

From the home page, clicking on Pricing does absolutely nothing. Clicking on other things in the menu goes to those pages, although by opening a new tab in a very user-unfriendly way. Maybe it's gated on having created an account first

Some comments are saying that the 6-year LTS is needed to support older Android devices. Also, in practice most vendors don't bother releasing updates to phones after the first 2 years, other than security updates. One possible nice si

About once every 4-5 weeks my car beeps at me whilst driving along admonishing me to say that I shouldn't be putting it in P/N while driving. Obviously, I've done no such thing. Each time about a second later, it realises its

I have my car set to display L/100km, but that's mostly because it's a hybrid and so kW/100km is more logical than the inverse and it makes sense to have them both operating the same way. My previous car didn't have

Ukraine was known as "the breadbasket of Europe" and the majority of the crops grown there were exported. In particular, grains such as wheat, corn and barley provide approximately 10% of the world's supply. From what I under
