Im not trying to deal "my opinion" or to show you up. My corrections to your comment are not simply relate-able to the arable soil problem, because the reference that you mistook, did not include any information on erosion of ar

It is likely completely impossible to reduce erosion globally by 10% and neither is all soil oxidation dependant on erosion. Soil oxidation and erosion should not be confused as the same process.

Sorry but you have blatantly misquoted and confused your reference which gives "Soil organic matter oxidation/erosion" at 62GtC/yr --as part of an existing cycle which has been balanced with 110GtC/yr absorbed by ph

A 4% heat throttle seems an unusually subtle adjustment. If testing has found it to be effective that is a good finesse.

"consider adding some reasonable quality onboard eMMC memory in the future." The Pi "compute modules" include onboard eMMC and so do these which are based on them.

8 years is good going and Eco friendly :) When a machine is no longer the latest rocket, may as well run it cool too, except in winter if the heat is handy.

I thought I was rock stable after lots of testing in one case, memtest, prime95, 'stability test' even thrashed the floppy drive. Later i wrote a java applet that hit the cpu cores in both regular and random millisecond patterns -

Rare earth magnets 'found in the towers' is a rather mysterious idea. I can only guess this is about relatively modest requirements of direction control motors.
