You could save some.
With that said, if you're short on cash and you're contemplating whether you can afford a Framework by saving on these parts, you might be able to save a lot more by getting an off-lease ThinkPad, Latitude or even B-stock Framework. For example I just got a Latitude 7400 yesterday for $250. It's got 16GB of RAM and a 500GB SSD.
It's no surprise, after all Cognizant is the first letter in CHWTIA. 🤭
How's that work, is there lots of hair pulling? Or are you able to charge an arm and a leg and set your timelines because the clients don't have much of a choice?
Fucking ignorant innuendo enjoyers, the lot of em. Badmouth IBM for enshitifying CentOS but "making nothing" .. yeah, no.
I had a 2-disk mirror hooked to the USB 3 ports. I think it did >200MB/s per disk prior to mirroring and the mirror speeds were similar. It only really started dragging itself when I put disk encryption on top. I think it used to do 80-90MB/s. Exposed it via NFS and it ran it as NAS for an active Plex server for a couple of years. The Pi 4 is still alive, now on another duty. 🫠
No need to question it. Western auto companies in China aren't independent. They're nearly always joint 50/50 ventures with Chinese auto companies and are under Chinese government regulation. I know for a fact that at least one American car company has the infotainment software for China written in China while all other regions use completely different software, written in NA.
For an SBC, yes. I don't think anyone's come close to its software support. I'm using quite a few in different applications, some 24/7. I've yet to experience hardware or software failure. I'm using official/quality PSUs and SanDisk Extreme Pro/ Samsung Evo Plus SD cards.
Docker has native compute performance. The processes essentially run on the host kernel with a different set of libs. The only notable overhead is in storing and loading those libs which takes a bit more disk and RAM. This will be true for any container solution and VMs. VMs have a lot of additional overhead. An a cursory glance, Incus seems to provide an interface to run Linux containers or VMs. I wouldn't expect performance differences between containers run through it compared to Docker.
You took one narrow use case whose significant downsides you're unaware of and made an OS ease of use judgement based on that. Therefore while you're entitled to it, it's not a useful judgement. ☺️
Seems like the 3v3 regulator is what goes out on these
Wow, they've really reached the bone on cost saving with this one to have a fucking voltage regulator be the straw that broke the camel's back.
Oooh yes, let's throw some mud in the gaping holes of this packaging solution, spit and tape the rest to make it do something it was not designed to do. Brilliant idea! ☺️
