    There seems to be a "Omega" board that is already released by those guys.

    It's in the FAQ at the end of the kickstarter page

    What SoC is used in the Omega2?
    The SoC is the MediaTek MT7688K, and the datasheet is available here: https://labs.mediatek.com/file....

  3. Re:It's not the hardware or the OS that's the issu on Army Special Operations Command Ditching Android For iPhone, Says Report (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Yep - another S6A Knox user here.
    If i lose data connection for a bit, i feel-it as the phone heats up like mad while sucking the battery dry.
      If i lose the data connection for too long, it will self-format (and destroy all the data/photos/application settings on the phone)
    And when the data connection is working fine, the fscking antivirus randomly kicks in and slows everything down. I had battery life varying from 3 full days to 3 hours.
    There's no way to get consistent functionality from a secured Samsung phone. While on iPhone everything works as it should.

    The body of the rocket, made of thin aluminium, empty of fuel, will crush like an empty soda can when the catch wires will snap.

    They need a system with some long articulated arms ending in huge pillows to catch-it :)

    They could ask the Tesla engineers who designed the articulated charging arm.

    VideoCore4 cannot access more than 1Gb of RAM
    And on the RPi, VC4 acts like a Northbridge - the ARM cores will do all RAM and IO access trough the VC4.
    So unless Boradcom updates VideoCore with more address lines, All RPis will have max 1Gb or RAM.

    Also check the guy's business card.

    The card is measuring the real Einthoven Lead I ECG curve between the two hands - sampled at 50Hz.

  17. 100% of the people will get $2000 UBI every month from the budget.
    77% are actually sending money to that budget (trough taxes, like income, medicaid & co)

    If i'm part of that working 77% i will get my $2000 UBI each month but i will have to pay more than $2000 in taxes each month so everyone, working or not, can receive their UBI.

    With UBI of $2000 per person, a family of 2 or more people can live just fine (for example in Texas). Thus a lot of those 77% working people will choose to live on UBI, further increasing the taxes on the remaining working ones.

    If we're talking about a lower UBI value - like $200 a month - that sum is useless for someone having UBI as his sole income.
