This sounds like it could’ve been a story about a featured build on CPU magazine. Maybe some cube shaped open air PC and how it was going to change the future of case design?

As far as things that are going to change everything performance wise maybe 3D caches? I could see there being promotional art of that with a blue cube showing how memory layers are stacked.

I know this was the goal of Nano (XNO) originally. I still love the idea of it but with all the regulations and stuff now I think nano is kinda dead (or at least unpopular) It seems the only crypto used for transactions is Monaro.

I remember years ago hearing about a Minecraft server using it as “premium” currency which I thought was interesting. I think the idea was you could earn real money on their game server.

It’s so cheap now you could probably use it as currency for a game if you really wanted

Edit: not gonna lie I think Nano is a pretty cool name for a decentralized currency. Better than some of the weird coin names out there

If you could miniaturize them I would totally take a house hippo

Would having a synced Keepass database with a composite key protect against this?

When I made my database I created a composite key file that never goes online. I locally copy it to any device that needs to access the database. The idea was even if the password got compromised you can’t access the database without the key file

I originally did this and ended up having to remake my account on .world. I just couldn’t stand the negativity and constant fighting on .ml. I was able to find a non-ml alternative to every community I was subscribed to. YMMV but it was completely worth it for me

I recently got into records but I wouldn’t consider myself an audiophile. I have a AT-SB727 “Sound Burger” and I usually connect it to a SoundCore Mini. The whole setup was under $200 on sale.

The main advantage for me is that it’s somewhat portable. I have 0 wires to mess with, not even a power cord. I’m sure the audio quality isn’t great but I like watching the record spin and listening to albums from start to finish.

I do have a different old record player (Sansui P1000) but it needs to be connected to AC then that has RCA connectors that need to go to a stereo which then has copper wire speakers. It sounds a lot better but also it’s a lot less portable

The sound burger does come with a line level RCA output so maybe it does sound as good when connected to an actual stereo. I want to get an elliptical stylus upgrade in the future which is supposed to help with sound quality

This reminds me of the old cloud to butt extension

So instead of selling on both Sparkfun and Adafruit, having what seems like a monopoly on Teensy style boards, Sparkfun decided it would be smarter to stop selling to Adafruit and force their hand to make an open source competitor

That’s an interesting business decision…
