So they've finally found a way to make a wrapper around a blockchain with a database, nice.

Already out of stock?

Link in TFA goes to AliExpress. This is the actual vendor: https://radxa.com/products/x/x4/

If you scroll down to the Buy Now you will see that Radxa also links to Aliexpress as the only distributor.

Officially that may be the case, but arace.tech claims to have 8GB versions in stock, and they seem to have been an official partner of Radxa in earlier launches.

aliexpress had some in stock during the night. It's now at "14 sold".

"there's dozens of us"

This won't age well.

I disagree. Life is short. It's fun to be a little hyperbolic once in a while.

Seems like nowadays it's a sea of hyperbole with little nuggets of realism floating around.

If only developers/managers had their own sense of using the proper tools for the job instead of just swallowing everything the Big Tech shoves down their throat...

But when you see those job ads with all these "great new technologies" it's hard not to fall into the trap.

I've used to use an app (there are many) which measures angular velocity using accelerometer and displays RPM (you place the phone on the turntable). I can't see why would anyone need something other than that.

Complete noob here, but wouldn't the phones weight (especially with how big phones are nowadays) have a significant impact on the RPM by slowing it down?

It's very possible, increased weight will increase friction in the bearing. However my iphone SE weighs almost the same as a 12-inch record (150g). BUT it is also more difficult to place symmetrically on the turntable, which also could affect friction.

It was something like: find "74", change it to "75" lol

Yes, but the hard part is that were a lot of "74"s and you had to figure out which one had to be changed... :)

Ahaha wow this brings back memories :)

When he says "internet" he actually means "US intranet" right?

I'm sure as much surveillance as they can get overseas too is wholly acceptable

Looks like someone important didn't like that Apple placed a blatant backdoor in their CPUs.

In your leadership team's defense, they are all probably on blow.

I can't tell if that would make me respect them more or less.
