has technology gone too far?
OP, my decade-old washing machine has an embedded 486 of some sort. uCs half the size of your pinky's fingernail that run at hundreds of MHz with megabytes of built-in SRAM and flash storage have been available for years, and cost pennies per unit.How long have you been asleep?
>>106787930>embedded 486wow you can run dos games, amazing
>>106788010Crayon-eating IQ post.No, none of the rest of the PC architecture is there. Just like how you can't run Xbox 360 games on your big iron server at work, despite the fact they both have PowerPC processors.
>>106787858Some vapes have more computing power than the computers on the International Space Station in its original configuration. The ISS computers however were far better at handling radiation.
>>106788089And no atmosphere, and no power, and ridiculous levels of heat or cold, etc.I seem to recall this is why they chose the 386SX for their command and control computer.
>>106788056>>106788109imagine running a dos game on the ISS, that would be epicyou can play space invaders when you're actually in spacethat's cool
>>106788124Astronauts have been taking laptops into space for decades, so they don't have to shut down the hard realtime OS keeping everyone alive to play games.
>>106788151>shut down the hard realtime OS keeping everyone alive to play gamesif you're a true gamer, you're willing to make a few little sacrifices
the luddites on /g/ constantly cry about any new technology that isn't another troonix fork but don't mistake that for wider public sentimentpeople love new technology and the world is going to progress forward for your entire life and there's nothing you can do to stop it
>>106788124>you can play space invaders when you're actually in spaceYO DAWG
>>106788010Shalomo, x86 is irrelevant for anything that isn't part of the ex-IBM PC walled garden. Inferior architecture that died after the 1980s and was replaced by the superior x86-to-RISC
>>106788010No, he can wash clothes, are you a retard?
>>106787858Who cares, computing power has never been important by itself anyway.
>>106787858/g/ should start a Vape Hosting company.I'll make the logo.Someone else make a pricing plan.
>>106789256About three fiddySomeone else make the slogan
>>106787930Not op, but it seems to me that a vape should only require a fairly simple circuit, not web server tier processing.
>>106789585"Clouds. Services.""The others blow smoke'Something like that.
>>106787858Impressive.I have collected a few of these discarded vapes, mainly for the battery and the charging circuit.
>>106788124
>>106787858>technology> gone too far?yes.always.the Nature is healing.
>>106787858>has technology gone too far?What the fuck is wrong with this board? You see a great hack and, instead of highlighting how great it is, you come up with this?Or shit like >>106788010>>106788124>muh gamesOr >>106789638>web server tier processingLike, how fucking illiterate and absolutely retarded are you faggots?
>>106789979GEM ALERT
>>106788010i would wager everything that this flea eating primate that thinks:> hey, sega saturn has a 68000> that means it can run amiga softwarestick to licking windows on busses and eating your own shit. you're fucking stupid.>>106791903>takes code other people wrote>ports it to a documented and supported SoC housing an ARM cortex (also well documented)>why isn't anyone impressed by this?this shit was impressive 15+ years ago when people actually had to reverse engineer everything themselves and code everything themselves. today it's seen as nothing more than a thought exercise rather than any technical skill.
>>106789585"I vape servers, you vape cock"
>>106792901>sega saturn has a 68000At least use an example that is true. The Saturn does not have a 68k.
>>106792901>this shit was impressive 15+ years ago when people actually had to reverse engineer everything themselves and code everything themselves.wtf are you talking about? 15+ years ago people were also hacking devices that ran Linux and basically replaced their firmware with mostly the same stack
>>106792948>The Saturn does not have a 68k.and yet it does. shut the fuck up, window licking retard.
>>106787858I hate tinkertrannies so fucking much
>>106794959but tinkertrannying is the essence of techloligy, are you jewish by any chance?
>>106788089If I blew a vape in the ISS the whole thing would explode.
