@freemo Well, of course there's a lot to say in response to your comment, but I guess it wouldn't add much to what we all know anyway.

But I just had an interesting thought. The guy actually lives in the house where his office is too, right? So technically he does not need to commute - at least not too far. Nevertheless, before becoming POTUS, Biden was known to start each day on his Peloton bike (the news of what security risks this poses is also fun: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jan/21/joe-biden-peloton-fitness-bike-cybersecurity-risk). So assuming they sorted the security out and allowed him to ride his stationary Peloton device, does that now count for a commute (of 0m, but still strictly technically it "gets" him there)? If so, we should credit him for getting on par with Mark Rutte when it comes to commuting on a bike 😄 .

If anyone's wondering why nazism happened, all they have to do is watch Fritz Lang's _Die Nibelungen_.

Just to make myself clear, it's not a political movie or anything, but if that's how Germans saw themselves and others, it really explains everything.

BTW side note I forgot to add to this thread for all the fluoride conspiracy theorists. Don't forget to stop drinking all coffee and tea, both of which have higher concentrations of fluoride than fluoride doped public water.

That is all.

Myspace in was the Google of social media. Now it's been reduced to yahoo.

Funny enough, yahoo was to the top dog iirc.

Ah yes, the times of AOL online provided via free CDs, dialup modems being the norm, the advent of AIM and ICQ messengers, children's cartoons that would not pass today's censors, and every hacker was either on a message board or irc channel...

All this right after the fall of the Berlin wall and the Chernobyl incident.

I feel sorry for Ya, the 90s was so much better. We all just chilled around camp fires listening to Bill Clinton play jazz on his saxophone as he handed out free myspace stocks to everyone, which was the national currency at the time.

@zleap @freemo @mur2501 Nope. So, Arm is to RISCV like amd is to Intel (in a way, not in everything). Meaning, Arm has their own ISA (instruction set architecture) of which the most famous is probably the A64 (arm64). Meanwhile, RISC-V aims to be a license free ISA so companies don't have to pay for example.

Another important concept here that is often misunderstood is the difference between an ISA and it's underlying implementation. Meaning, I could have an operation defined as `ADD x y` in Armv8-A (64bit arm ISA) but there are many ways that this function could be implemented in actual hardware. Typically, manufacturers like ST Microelectronics will license both Arm's ISA as well as their internal designs to make a real hardware chip that has implemented the design. However, manufacturer are often free to deviate in their implementations from the "official" Arm one. As long as it still implements all the ISA it can be called "an Arm-based chip/ microcontroller".

In general, if this is the part of electronics you're interested in. Just learn vhdl/verilog.
