If he was electrocuted your brother would have died. If he didn’t die he was shocked

Shocked is the correct verb

What would be the correct verb to use in this case?

I think I first saw it a year ago sometime. This isn’t brand new.
Edit: Paper published in 2021

I had fast DDR4 in the old rig so I’m pretty sure it was CPU related. I don’t even have XMP on in this new rig, it runs everything maxed out in 4k at 120 fps so I haven’t bothered.

It’s open source so anyone can make it. If you buy one from a sketchy company that has a subscription and sends your data to china that is your problem.

Meh I'm not so sure about mechanical keyboards. Most of them are so obnoxiously loud I can't stand them.

I mean have you seen the prices of motherboards... Have manufacturers seen the economy?

if you aren't ever going to game on it you can pick up a very nice refurbished ex-office desktop tower with an SSD for $150 that will do everything you need for years

Ten years after the first Raspberry Pi was shipped in 2012, more than 40 million of the devices have been sold worldwide, creating a market worth in excess of $1 billion, plus more in peripherals

Exactly this. Even the PS5 are becoming easy to buy. PC gamers are going back to console.

Sorry for being a bit pedantic, but "electrocuted" means "killed by electricity". It's a combo of "electric" and "execute".

Most of these seem to be self-made, or made with the help of a single technical person.
Your cousin just needs to hit up his nerdy friend with a 3D printer, apparently.

I still game. But my steam deck has been great. Plus my Nintendo switch. Between the two I don’t do much actual desktop gaming anymore. And when I do, it’s for some of my older titles that my system can weather. There’s too many new games and not enough time in my late 30s now. So my library just keep building. I’m not sure if I will continue upgrading anymore. Or just sort of freeze my computer and stop updating. Will essentially last forever (until the parts themselves burn out) without getting slow or laggy or not being able to keep up. But with cards nowadays costing as much as my whole gaming pc did when I built it, it’s not very enticing. Plus no more EVGA for GCs means I’m stumped there.

It seems like every time I see a 'cool prosthetic' it's something the person has created at home, or with the help of a university professor.
I just find it really interesting that, of all things, it's prosthetics that are home made more than anything else I see. 3D printing, along with the need from something completely custom, seems to be creating a culture of DIY for replacing your own limbs.
It's very strange if you think about it.

Was it more of a RAM or a CPU bottleneck you think?

I agree with 90% of that, at least about how applicable to broader market it will be. But look at Arch and Slackware. Tech like RISC-V can exist SOLELY from communities and still end up becoming worth a lot of money. Like RedHat lots of money. Also about Pi: https://www.cam.ac.uk/stories/raspberrypi (that is a MASSIVE market to any startup founder) Saying that 1 billion usd is failure in consumer market is just not true.
​
Also asking how many laptops with Pi is not the right question, people wanted it as its own little SOC motherboard not in a laptop. Putting the single board in a laptop kinda defeats the whole tinkering purpose and how would they expose GPIO pins? A laptop for the pi is just a case with a keyboard and built-in monitor, most people in this niche would rather just keep the easier physical access and use external monitor + SSH.

My frames and every benchmarknscore went up 30% on my 4090 when I upgraded from the 5600x based system I had it in at first.
You’re massively bottlenecking yourself most likely. My cinebench is 40k now, Timespy 30k on a 13900 and ddr5

>There are other larger / more mainstream markets but that does not diminish the money to be made/relevance of enthusiast tech. Raspberry Pi had 95.82 million GBP revenue. It is not Windows, but idk why people are saying it will "fade into non existence V Quickly". It is an open source spec not some new Phone, so how mainstream it is doesn't even seem like an applicable critique. This is a niche group of people so the market is not as big. It is like saying Ubuntu or Arch is not relevant and will fade into the abyss. It may not be relevant to you, but I mean even Slackware still has a community.
