As someone who has been asked to restart the computer, even though I already did that before calling IT support... I internally sigh, but begrudgingly do it again just to appease their process. Because I assume plenty of people don't do it and make y'alls life a tiny bit harder, when a restart would've fixed it

Also, how many are solved by making sure the power cable is not just plugged into the wall, but seated into the back of the computer as well?

Nope! It's a whole new fanny pack world for you to re-create

Use a fanny pack. It's ok to wear them again and will put you ahead of the "cool" curve

Hey, I've seen you commenting around here before!

Lol, it does read entirely differently in the gen z light... good eye! If you add a comma after "bet", it completely changes the meaning. Fun

Thank you! I was reading the wiki about the "landing" and could "understand" how a current phone would be vastly more than sufficient. I got lost trying to find how an "ESP32" was designed... and then how processor's were (normally) designed nowadays... and how it all worked together. I guess I was asking if a single "chip" could include all of those things (CPU, RAM, ROM), or if it was multiple "chips". An integrated circuit is what I think I was trying to dissect. I'm still curious about the inter-workings, but you cleared a whole lot up for me.

I really appreciate the breakdown, because I didn't have the terminology to properly search. I guess it still kinda blows my mind how far it's all progressed

Edit: And now I'm learning the difference between "Integrated circuit" and "circuit board"... seems silly in hindsight, but the terminology had me a bit confused. Super cool, nonetheless.

So I'm not an IT professional by any means, it's a hobby. But I'm curious if an ESP32 could land a man on the moon. I searched around a bit and am under the assumption that an ESP32 has a CPU or microprocessor of some sort.

What I'm trying to figure out is: Would a processor on an ESP32 have RAM and ROM built into the chip. I hope I'm asking the right questions.

It seems like a processor should have RAM for a cache. But I gave up trying to figure out if it would also have built-in ROM (specifically, an ESP32's processor)

Do all CPU's/microprocessors now have SRAM for a cache? Do all also contain ROM? Or is it separate? I guess an ESP32 does require ROM for it's firmware, regardless? And (maybe?) SRAM in it's processor?

I'm beinginng to think an ESP32 would have the "specs" to land a man on the moon?

Idk, "how true is your statement" is what I'm trying to figure out (but I lack a lot of the technical knowledge), and now I'm curious. If someone could ELI9, I'd appreciate it

Edit: I did flash the eeprom on some XBOX TSOP chips in the past. So maybe ROM isn't part of the CPU, but very near-and-dear. Annnnd I'm in a rabbit hold about the anatomy of CPU's because of a one sentence comment. Please help

Hope you have a good morning though! I'm night shift, so I'm unwinding and 'bout to crawl into that sweet sweet bed

I wouldn't say no

Ya may have read too quickly and missed the double negative. It seems that they would like relations with that bird... if that bird were were a person, and talking dirty botany to them

Edit: and all of botany is dirt-y, when you get to the root of it... I'll see myself out now

So you're somewhere between 18 and 58 than

I ended up getting a CCA CRA pair, and they're surprisingly good too. Currently $22 for a pair with a mic. It was either those, or MOONDROP, but I think either of them would be well worth the 20 bucks

I really appreciate the heads up! But I actually pretty much want them for the "situational awareness". I feel like I understand the expectations for audio quality. I'm not very much an audiophile, especially for what I'm trying to get out of them.

I work in a pretty quiet environment that only gets really noisy if there's a situation that needs to be handled. So I wanna be able to hear the alarms and would be pausing my podcast/whatever if I need to respond. And I also like the way it seems to fit and stay in place. It seems like a great fit for what I'm after, I just hope I'm not unlucky enough to be too sensitive to the vibrations. I kinda doubt it would be an issue, but that's my (small) main concern... would I stop using them 6 months later because I can't get used to it

Should I get the "pro" version for better quality, or stay away because it could be too much bass/vibration (even at lower volume)

But I've seen a few people at work with them, and they love them... and a few others have tried, but can't deal with the vibrations

So I've been torn. I'm probably gonna try them cause they check almost every box for what I'm looking for. But should I get the pro version? Would it be too much? Idk, and I could maybe try them from a co-worker, but I feel like I would have to spend time with them before knowing what I like. Just kinda wanna buy the right kind, if I'ma throw the money at it
