Is United Express actually United? I thought those tended to be a regional carrier using the name under license.

I'd expect the labour friction to be still worse; I was peripherally involved with such a firm 20 years ago and know they had terrible problems with staff retention, mostly because they wouldn't pay enough to retain people after they got fed up with the free-standby-flight privileges.

Why would you want to turn back?

I think the appeal is that you probably don't need a huge CPU for a lot of workloads-- just something to run an OS, handle talking to the outside world, and configure the GPU/NPU complexes.

I could imagine a something like a Quadro card that had a small RISC-V core built in as a freestanding device, no motherboard needed. Even if the CPU ran like a Core 2 Duo, that would be sufficient for purpose, but it will be a lot easier to license an appropriate RISC-V core than an x86 one.

I feel like the Atmega range asks an awful lot for what you get in 2024.

Of course, that could be because I designed a project around the Teensy++ which was always pricey and promptly disappeared from stock. I redesigned to use a CH32V305 breakout instead- 1/3 the price and probably way more performance which my terrible code is just busy-waiting into the ether.

I like WCH's product line in general; it's full of zany stuff.

Cents since 1982 are mostly zinc with a thin shell of bronze. They'll rot badly if compromised with a hole.

So next they'll use AI-generated infantry?

Xbps on Void does it for sure.

Why can't we subsidize American carmakers more?

Someone needs to register a .owo filetype and use it for Very Important Business Things.

I liked ASrock when they were in the ECS tier of quirky and weird. Got a Socket 939 board with the ULi M1695 chipset that was really nifty.

Then I had an awful experience with an AM3 board that claimed to run a FX-8350, until they edited their support list.

I grudgingly chose them for AM5 because it was $50 cheaper for the featured I wanted, and it's been okay, aside from me breaking the x16 slot clip due to hamfistedly removing a shipping-container sized GPU.

I believe "headpats" is the only valid answer.

She may also need an elecyrical socket.
