you mean a computing pool, like SETI@home since the late 90s?

absolutely no need to make this idea stink of a crypto scam.

the AeroGavin strap-on is coming up on the next elevator.

also, the bats flapped, the fish bubbled, the sun smiled and the robot flailed its hooks wildly.

Lore, from "Descent".

i wasn't much interested because x86/x64 thermals are a horrible match for an SBC form factor, buuuut, Explaining Computers on YT just did a video where he used the (huge) heatsink case and fan, and while it quickly throttled with the supplied thermal pad, he added a (third party) copper shim and paste, and then could run long benchmarks without throttling. interesting.

collective nouns are like "team" or "group", they're happy to be "a team" or "one group"

data doesn't work like that, people say "a data point", or "one piece/item of data". (because datum is almost a dead word)

it's more accurate to say data is a mass noun, a. k.a. an uncountable noun, like air, sand, rice.

to be fair, the Raspberry Pi has never been pitched as an idiot-proof consumer appliance.

it is supposed to be a cheap way for people to get into studying programming /computing / electronics.

adding to abnorc's excellent answer - circuit diagrams are all drawn as if charge carriers are positive (this is called "conventional current"), but because electrons are negative, this can get very confusing when you're dealing with components where the flow of charge is one-way only (diodes, transistors, batteries, photometers...)

almost 40 000 rubles for a dollar!

that's not arbitrary - the hour hand of a clock mimics the shadow of a sundial.

it makes sense, in the northern hemisphere, where 90% of people live.

Fun archaeo-dentistry fact -

for thousands of years, most humans in wheat agriculture societies had terrible teeth because of the stone dust from millstones like this persisting into the finished bread.

until the industrial era, when we could make steel grinders.

thanks, modern steel industry!
