@scottalanmiller said in Apple Officially Releases their ARM M1 Powered Lineup:

USB4 is TB3 compatible.

Intel removed licensing for TB3 as part of agreement to make part of USB4 spec.

That's great. The two have been way too close.

I read that, can't wait to see what happens. Would give nvidia even more capability

But that means that you can run the lighter 32bit OS version that is faster AND it is already overclocked and includes a massive passive heatsink.

But the web browser plus whatever else is running in addition to the OS will still eat up what's left of the RAM pretty easily I would think. My phone uses more than 4g of ram easily.

Not really. It's actually hard to use up the 4GB RAM on the RPI4 as a normal user. Remember that everything running on it is lean, like LXDE for example.

I'd say that if you're happy with the RPI4 performance as a desktop then there's a 95% chance that 4GB RAM will be enough.

If you're a power user then RPI4 is too slow and you'll probably looking at something with at least 16GB RAM anyway.

This is why I like the RP400. It's the CPU, more than the RAM, that is the bottleneck for use and the RP400 is like 15% faster.

Elementary OS coming to Pinebook Pro.

@scottalanmiller said in Apple Mac Going to ARM RISC:

RISC-V is seen as the future with more modern and more open design than ARM and zero security risks like ARM has. ARM is so risky, I'd never risk (pun intended) developing something new with it, only something old.

Oh yeah, forgot about that!

Still very low end devices, but moving up fast. I'm really excited to see the first SBCs and desktops built off of it.

Yeah I got an announcement in my email about it. I was reading about it here:

@FiyaFly said in Running Filebeat on ARM:

Take a look at what the system comes with. From a quick check, I'm almost certain both CentOS and Fedora ship with rsyslog, which would lead me to believe that the Pi would have that or something very similar. If not, rsyslog does at least have an ARM package.

Pi runs Debian.

Yeah, I don't have any debian-based systems I can check right now, but I know it still has the mechanism built-in. Just might not be rsyslog.

Nice, for ten dollars I'd be happy to pick one up just to play around with. That's certainly in the silly money range.

@pete-s said in ARM Desktop I Finally Want:

Add $30 for 4GB of memory and you're at the same price as the board you mentioned but with 2-3 times the performance of the rockchip. The J3455 is an older NUC so it can only take 8GB RAM.

Well that's at least $160 vs. $129. But a bigger deal is power consumption, I think. I'd like to see the numbers, but I bet that the RC is dramatically lower.

Here is the current Mac Pro, the top of the line system: https://www.apple.com/mac-pro/specs/

Honestly, it's not impressive. This is not "power" hardware by any stretch. The price is high, but the gear in it is lackluster. They've not released a "power" product since 2013, what they released then was this which is pretty hampered, and they don't plan to update it until 2019 at the earliest.

It's not hard at all to see how an ARM-based system might compete really, really well here. Apple's "power user" hardware isn't on par with power users from the rest of the industry as it stands today and their refresh cycles are absurd so that anyone in their "power users club" has to already feel totally abandoned under the current model of things.

Would be pretty sweet to test something like SodiumSuite on this. Probably not good for the database, but could be really neat to see how the application front end would run there.

learning

Its called NPU, and everybody thinks (not the end user of-course) that it is half baked if not total gimmick.

Deep learning is shallower and more hyped than Italian television

Sounds exciting, but loads of companies have said this, and then dropped their plans before releasing 😞

Yeah, waiting on the ARM CPU revolution is seeming more like expecting the year of the alternate desktops 🙁

Yeah, we've been waiting on this since RiscOS was hot.

ou have something like Pi 3 and if so why ? and what OS on it ?
If you want to buy one which one interests you.
Thanks.

Raspberry Pi3 for thermostat and Arduino for door automation.

Why I am getting the vibe here that it is easier to code and automate with Arduino , is there an easy guide/wizard for it that does not involve alot of coding ?

Arduino is microprocessor coded with a specific dialect of c as most of micros todays. It is not able to run an os. Like any micro it accepts an entry point and starts looping the same code again and again until you pull the plug.
Raspberrypi is an arm architecture able to run an os. You can code it even in python or node.js

Double the RAM and that could be a great laptop!
