At this point, it’s on my bingo card.

Maybe WW3!

First it was crypto. Now it’s AI. Who knows what the next thing that will keep me from getting a decent GPU.

I hear there is a chip shortage in Russia

Maybe they should pay for Netlist tech

Is this that engineering focus that LBT has been so bullish on? They should just shitcan 10,000 more workers and focus on 10A

We’re back to Intel skipping future nodes in favour of futur-ier nodes.

Let's make our super expensive high tech camera look like something everyone on earth wants to hit and destroy

Fortunately our technology level is waaaaay off these things actually existing like they're trying to imply.

That website calls it a "router board". It's a small single-board computer with two ports. So it's perfect to use as a small router, but it is not sold as one.

Knowing how stupid and dystopian we can be ..... I'm going to guess that someone is going to give this little thing a hypodermic needle to deliver a neurotoxin or a virus.

If we can't turn it into a spy .... we can weaponize it.

how far away are we from contracting mal-AI-ria?

There are a few companies and universities playing with this kinda stuff, but the ones that are as tiny as that usually have no ability to transmit any data or even record anything from what i have seen. They just fly and thats it.

Why does a router need a video output?

Why ESP8266? I understand not going for the ESP32-C6 because of the current desaster of support, but why not any other more modern MCU instead of one that is essentially EOL?

Yeah that's just the other extreme.
Such a long pathway that you need way more air speed than you should be looking for.

Yeah, I considered a similar image, but also:

(But I also realise that one would have to be careful when designing this, to prevent turbulence in the center, causing heat generation.)

Which I considered would be a big factor.

Short fins should be cheaper, yes, if they use the skiving process. ∵ shorter fins ⇒ less total force required ⇒ cheaper machinery usable/ longer machine life due to lower stresses.

making its average temperature higher before ejection, lowering heat transfer

Well yeah, but I feel like the air coming out of the fins was not hot enough to say that.
I would rather put the factor of higher air density (caused by a higher pressure) between the fins enabling higher heat transfer.
Of course, which factor affect more in that case (pun intended), would be the engineering part.

Pretty sure the thermal engineers at ASROCK are much smarter than you take them for

Yeah, probably just my bias after having that bad experience with ASUS Gaming laptop, in which they stuffed components way above the case's TDP.

I don't know man I think it could have more rgb

Goddamnit Loch ness monsta!

GDDR6/6x runs hotter than GDDR5. You need to learn a lot more about PC components m8

Like I said, you cant compare the 2 cards at all other than they look similar. Pretty sure the thermal engineers at ASROCK are much smarter than you take them for

Yeah, not GPUs

ceramic heat plates (or ceramic PCBs) can be used for very hot applications

RAID0 for extra speed!

Guess I would be building.... a house of cards.
