Readit NewsA plastic soldier set is on the order of $20, and collectors will often purchase dozens.
A Bambu A1 mini (which is sufficient for the level of detail needed for these figurines) is about $200, which breaks even after 10 sets.
I imagine I'd have similar frustrations if I couldn't copy-paste the text easily though!
I wrote a blog post about why I made the site at https://bret.dk/introducing-sbc-compare/ if anyone's interested, but to TL;DR it, I didn't set out to create a site like this, it was a side quest after creating the automation and database to support my reviews, which do indeed focus on the hobbyist trying to explore Raspberry Pi SBCs and their many alternatives.
I have full specifications and hardware capabilities hidden behind a feature flag at the moment as I'm working my way through adding all of that data (currently at 80 SBCs in the database, and I'm only adding those I own and have run tests on) so there should be something similar to what you're asking for soon. Thanks again!
There's no way you can use 100% of your CPU - it would instantly overheat. So it suddenly makes even more sense to have optimised hardware units for all sorts of processes (h264 encoding, crypto etc) if you can do a task any more efficiently than basic logic.
I wonder why DC though. Is AC lossy when surrounded by salt water?
The other more interesting one is that the repeaters in this kind of fibre optic cable are usually powered from both ends, from completely separate electrical grids (so one side sends -5000V and the other sends +5000V, for example). This allows for some level of redundancy as well as thinner insulation. With AC, keeping the phases on both sides aligned would be impractical, as well as the inherent inefficiencies of AC transmission.

Apparently, during a recent review, they decided this counted as fraud and banned my account. As a result, I can no longer log in and lost access to all my Kindle e-books. They also remotely wiped my Kindle, so my entire library is gone. I appealed the decision, but I’ve been waiting for over six months with no resolution.
Fast forward a few months, I never received a refund and they claim they have no record any more. I could chargeback my credit card but I imagine I'd also be permanently banned from Amazon - so instead I accept they've just stolen $1000 from me with no recourse...
