12 volt televisions and computers
Re: 12 volt televisions and computers
How many more posts before you learn bullying is whack?
Are you seriously complaining about explorer not getting involved in your scrabble? Ignore it if it bothers you so much. You're hating on peacefully written posts written with good intentions.
Yes maybe he's on the spectrum but this tail of haters every time he writes is silly.
I support my local explorer! Preach it brother explorer. Evangelize the Rasperry Pi. I listen.

I think he must be having us on here, I think he is the real Satoshi Nakamoto and is covering his tracks.A10 wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2019 3:16 pmBut what is the point of pursuing something when you're obviously clueless?

I have also brought notebook computers to Cambodia. Notebook computers come with a battery.
Be aware, many computers sold and used in Cambodia are low performance, slow computers.
This is gold. The gift that keeps on giving. Gotta give him credit though. He doesn't seem at all fazed by the heaps of scorn and ridicule piled on him. I would have quit the forum with my tail between my legs by now.

PS Iv just bought a Sunway Taihulight as its good for call of duty, it has a maximum sustained performance of 93.01 petaflops and a theoretical peak performance of 125.44 petaflops and runs on 3 AAA batteries.

You never know who is posting or what knowledge they possess. You elite Pentium users could never identify anyone with real knowledge because all you do is read Tom's hardware websites and think you're all that.
You think you're cool because you know what a GHz is. I can name several data centers that operate on diskless RasPi for the same reasons listed in the thread.
You're just cluelessly challenging anything you don't recognize from your PC World magazine.
It's the same hateful attitude experienced by anyone in college because they dared to join the computer or chess club. Go throw a ball or something, you lousy knuckleheads.
You could never recognize Satoshi's work without his name stamped on his forehead. You're clueless bullies. What the hell do you know about computing? You think you know cryptography? You've been challenged.

"Relax", you respond in karma.
No, you stop bullying explorer. Bullying is whack. If you want to talk about computers let's hear it.

Instead of using car batteries a UPS might be a more convenient option. They offer back up power as well as protection against power drops and -surges. They come in many sizes and prices but start at about 30 USD.explorer wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2019 5:50 am In some parts of Cambodia there are a lot of power failures. If you run computers from 12 volt batteries, you can continue to use them when power failures occur. (Be aware, in many places the WIFI goes off when there is a power failure.)
I was in a shop selling electrical appliances recently, and they sell 12 volt televisions. They come with a power supply from the mains which puts out 12 volts, and another connector you can use to run the television from a battery.
It's a nice machine, but with serious limitations.
A television is only suitable as a 'monitor' if you sit far enough from it. If you use it as a monitor you will see the individual (large) pixels ehich is extremely annoying an tiring.explorer wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2019 5:50 am I use televisions as monitors for Raspberry Pi computers, as the ones I have seen are cheaper than computer monitors with sound. You can play English lessons for example, on computers with sound. Any televisions I buy in the future, I plan to buy 12 volt, so there is the option of running it from a battery.
Eh.... A battery. Seriously?
What's your point?explorer wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2019 5:50 am I may or may not not buy Raspberry Pi computers in the future, depending if they bring out a higher performance model. A Raspberry Pi computer with power supply, keyboard, mouse, and reasonable size television costs approximately US$200. I recently bought decent performance notebook computers in Australia which normally retail for under AU$500, but were on a special promotion for under AU$400. This is under US$300. A notebook computer with a decent performance for US$300 is better than a Raspberry Pi for US$200 in many situations. But then if a computer only costs $200, it is not expensive to replace any part which may break.
The way you use a laptop and a Pi are very different.
Whenever I take my laptop I really don't want to carry a Pi, a keyboard, a 'reasonably sized television' and God knows what else. Pi's are not designed for mobile use.
It's ideal to get a DELL XPS 13, if you have the funds. But it comes at a price. And you will probably regret giving it away when you leave.explorer wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2019 5:50 am Be aware, many computers sold and used in Cambodia are low performance, slow computers. It is ideal to get decent performance computers which operate at a reasonable speed.
The computers are for students, or where they teach computing to students.
I have one computer which I use myself, and will give to a student when I leave.

I’ve never heard anyone use whack in a sentence (apart from the obvious) since the 70s.
You’re so whack man. Yo.

Re: 12 volt televisions and computers
It is OK for poor people to buy cheap computers, but anyone who has used a computer with a decent performance is likely to get fed up with a slow computer.
In Cambodia, it is also OK for poor people to buy cheap anything....
But, from what is implied, it's not OK for rich people to buy cheap stuff?
Sorry, I dont understand.
Please educate me on this one, Explorer!
