Quite possible. Especially since the numbers are quite insane. $100 billion on what? 10 million platinum-coated servers?

@lupyuen

@lupyuen It's a grift like 95% of all VC startups.

To realize the value of this $25 board - risc-v, linux, etc. mean that you can replicate in hardware and play around with any computer whether it's a PDP-11 or ZX Spectrum, you can make a Forth or Lisp processor along with peripherals just by programming this #fpga !

Heck, you can make something completely unheard of using these $25 programmable cells.

I used to ponder on these kind of questions, but in recent years I stopped to do that and I just write the code and change it latet if I need to.

As far as I can tell at the binary level the biggest difference is "thiscall" vs "cdecl" (unless it a virtual function).

Its mostly question about text aesthetic (which is subjective) and encapsulation (which I tend to avoid by default).

Its fun to discuss and think about these things, just don't let it cause you analysis paralysis.

@danct12 @lupyuen All that could be solved if we could have postmarketOS running on them...which is what I decided to do with my TV box ~> https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Videostrong_KII_Pro_(videostrong-kii-pro)

@lupyuen This does not only affect AW and RK devices, this also appears on Amlogic devices too.

I have a GT-King and apparently it opens ads every 10 minutes on the stock Android OS.
