Mine is named "Searching..."

It's caught a few friends out

Lithium ion batteries cannot go in the hold.
They are a huge amount of stored chemical energy that wants to turn into a fire, and fires on airplanes are one of the most dangerous things. Fires in the hold even more so.

Lithium ion batteries need to be carry on, so if they do try and start a fire they can be quickly spotted and dealt with

I did this on an embedded project a few years back.
Put a header for the rPi to mount on, and the motherboard powered the rPi (as well as everything controlled by the rPi).
Worked a treat.

sudo is a command that "does" something as "super user"

Fun fact, it originally stood for "superuser do", however it now stands for "substitute user do" as it can "do" as any user - it's just that the default user argument is root (IE super user)

Pretty sure all ram manufacturers are Korean? I guess China puts chips on PCBs, maybe? But South Korea has the knowledge . And it had met domestic demand. RAM prices have been acceptable for many many years.
It's the AI sector that is inflating demand (maybe by circular investment and contracts).
So, I don't see anyone investing 10 years into the future to make ddr6 ram where their business plan relies on current trends.

It must take so much R&D to achieve anything remotely comparable to what Samsung, Micron (/Crucial... RIP) and SK Hynix can produce.

Fingers crossed they can either undercut the 3(now 2) big producers, which is doubtful. But hopefully they can help reduce the maximum price that decent memory can inflate to. Because at some point a medium sized customer is gonna get fed up of the Samsung/micron/skHynix bullshit, and custom order the ram they need, and such a smaller producer will provide a much better service for a similar price

Only for multi CPU mobos (and that would be pinning a thread to a CPU/core with NUMA enabled where a task accessed local ram instead of all system ram). Even then, I think all ram would run at the lowest frequency.
I've never mixed CPUs and RAM speeds. I've only ever worked on systems with matching CPUs and ram modules.

I think the hardware cost and software complexity to achieve this is beyond the cost of "more ram" or "faster storage (for faster swap)"

Windows defender uses Blockchain? Why?

Edit:
Oh, I get it. The virus mines crypto. Antivirus stops the virus. Hence I have a good antivirus.
Went way over my head

Never had Blockchain forced into operating systems

Thank you for confirming I haven't seriously misread something here.
Felt like I was taking crazy pills for a second there!

Yeh, they did.
They were extremely smart people.
And they considered the possibility of that happening.
They calculated the probability of it happening, considered their known-unknowns and unknown-unknowns in their calculations, and concluded the possibility (including their error margin) was so incredibly low that it wouldn't happen.
And they were right.

A scary prospect, to be sure.
But ultimately, that's what experts do.
Anyone can build a bridge that will stay up, but it takes an engineer to build a bridge that only barely stays up.
