We read this and often wonder why more energy is spent on re-classifying naming conventions to appease emotional correctness rather than putting that focus to more feasible use to solving actual problems, and discovering new technological developments to push to better efficacy as a whole.
The fine lines between common sense and social insecurities have most recently become blurred to where the slightest non-acceptance of a term that doesn't fit within an individual, or groups pronoun tolerance has become a center focus of controversy more so to a degree that talk is becoming more important than tech.
One would ask.. have we as society become so enamored in over appropriation of proper language usage to such a degree that it could be more inclined to cause social disarray rather than a problem-solving change for a positive impact to make humanity feel better?
When it comes to the console space, powerful hardware is a plus, however a solid set of games, and not just exclusives must follow suit; otherwise having a powerful console alone with a lackluster list of games to play will fall short as we've all seen throughout 2017 / 2018 years. For the sake of console gaming as a whole in the Xbox realm; one should hope the abundance of solid games will be as plentiful as the power of hardware being used.
We have experienced from mechanical, SSD, and NVMe drives that there are points of failure that we can detect, and there are points of failure we can't. Most cases where an unpredictable failure occurs is almost always at the power source, and is mostly indicative of voltage irregularity in our tests with bad drives from these 3 types. While we'd like to think that new hardware will hold up to a degree of it's certified life span; voltage as a whole to power said hardware will almost certainly add the anomalous layer for a margin of error from minimal to catastrophic.
A clone will popup soon to take it's place with less restrictions eventually. As to how many, and what the names will be of said clones is the more prominent question.
The best thing to do before committing to an new update is to either test on another Windows 10 machine "if available", or wait for reviews with how the new update works with other user upgrades/tests. This allows a user to review before commit.
As of late, there have been alternatives for users to move to another operating system within the past 2 years now. The concern is this could potentially force consumers hands into make a decision sooner rather than later.
Since the inception of cryptocurrency, it was bound to be exploited to this particular degree. In reality, the fact remains that cryptocurrency as a whole will continue to falter as a viable currency in it's current state at this current time.
Changes in blockchain technology may improve this in the future, however, in it's current state it is too volatile to trust as a constant construct for valued currency.
It would be interesting to see if this market change will force consumers to go with apple specific hardware or purchase after-market adapters to use 3.5mm devices.
Security automation measures such as RFID scanners, card insert readers, IP Security cameras, etc should always been kept on its on closed-loop network and redundant power source as a best practice. Opening security systems for buildings on a main network can, and will always result in major flaws to the physical security of an infrastructure of a housed facility, and will almost always result in vulnerability points whether it's from a localized or external source.
It's interesting to see how this has become an issue considering that sites such as Amazon, and Spotify allow you to legally stream music on a per-month fee basis dirt cheap rather than having to buy music, or even download it.
It would be curious to see if there is an heir to said patents regardless of original creation or "patent-obtained" technologies going forward. In the end a last Will and Testament could throw a wrench into the proverbial wait for the patents to shift ownership in their entirety.
This brings up a curious question as to if this includes all filesystem derivatives with the exception of unencrypted ext4, and how does this reflect on origination Unix counterparts such as FreeBSD, FreeNAS, and MacOS that may take part in such filesystems?. What is the limitation of what file system types that will continue to be supported from the Dropbox service going forward, and how will it affect it's user base going forward? Will this also trickle down to Windows-based machines using encrypted NTFS, and will this request that NTFS encrypted filesystems be decrypted before backups are possible? Will this include APFS as an exception to stay in business with the Mac user base? Will any supported file systems need to be unencrypted explicitly in order for the service to work going forward?
These are things that raise concerns, and will have an impact on such a service.
In our testing with Raspberry Pi's (Specifically The RPi 3 B+) total hardware I/O has never exceeded 22MB/s. On the note of better quality chips with a higher process tends to cost more on the hardware side, and kernel development to build around a newer chip will take time. It's a bit of a double-edged sword pushing a simple SBC from as cheap as $3 to make and pushing it to $75 or more to make completely negating the purpose of inexpensive computing solutions for small projects. No matter how you slice it, hardware cost, and time to development around the new hardware architecture will always be a factor as seen from other more expensive SBC solutions offering more for performance.
Key factors to consider:
How much will bulk purchases for newer or different chips cost?
How how many development hours will it take to build on operating systems to support it as well as previous hardware types such as attachable hats?
How much will it cost to build a newer Pi version?
This has been the issue with annual subscriptions as a whole for services for such as MoviePass for some time now. Amazon has even moved to a month-to-month basis on subscription services as a more viable solution for subscription services.
Typically when I purchase equipment, it is on a need basis hardware wise. Whether you're entrusted to Intel or AMD as your "Go-to" it shouldn't really matter. As far as heat is concerned, if you are "air-cooling" either brand whether it's i7,i9,Ryzen 7,Threadripper 1/2, the ambient temperatures will always be through the roof even with water cooling. With that being said if someone is having that kind of issue then it would be time to open up ventilation in a "inadequately cooled" room.
On the note of decisions for buying a CPU, you have to ask yourself, do I need a work horse, a middle of the road computer, or a browsing machine. This is where "cost-per-core" will matter if you need a work horse. No matter how you slice it with IPC's, cores will always remain key for handling heavier workloads.
The reality is now with AMD being more competitive in the CPU space both AMD and Intel "enthusiasts" tend to feud over which one is best. In all honesty the "more intelligent" decision at least for me is choosing which one I can get more for less for higher-end work horses.
In essence, the real question regardless of anything else is, what do want, and how much do you want to spend. That is keeping it "real".
On the note of copyright, infringement, and public domain, as long as there is a rights holder for an IP it is still considered copyright content. The more compelling question is why did Nintendo wait until now 30+ years later?
In the realm of crypto-currency.. At the rate that the volatility value is falling, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to cash out while there is still a profit. Just like most markets, profits can always take a hard dip with little to no profit recovery.
In reality, no matter how many top minds pledge to not take part in the creation of weaponized AI, there is always a think-tank of scientists already working on it. The more pressing question is not who, or even how but when.
I have a feeling if Major League Baseball continues down this path the the term "Crypto-Collectibles" will be coined at some point in the marketing realm for collector items.

Thomas Dorr made an interesting note on this project.
According to Thomas's post this looks to be similar to the following:

With a few modifications this could look to be ARM SOC's being put into mainstream PC use.

This comes across as a ploy to obtain attention whether it happens or not.
We have 1 machine used for gaming as the reset is Linux. Sadly it's purpose most days is media, music, and gaming.
Two things keeping us on a singular Windows machine:
1.) FL Studio (We just like how it works versus other DAW's)
2.) Gaming as a whole (not just some games.)
Once we can get past these without having to run a Windows VM to run an application we'd prefer to a higher native degree, then we will be 100% Linux.
I don't understand tech people that still uses crap like Windoze...
Our excuse would be for gaming. Not every PC game can play on Linux (PlayOnLinux, WINE, DXVK, etc..) at least not yet.

Would love to do a teardown of this device and compare it to an Arduino or Raspberry Pi.

Here is another interesting side note from a court case:
