I wonder if theres a USB C dongle for phones that don't have an SD card slot anymore where I can put in an SD card and still charger it thru the dongle?
If that exists i want it...
If it doenst then I may design it...

I do not understand why intel thinks it counts to add more L2 cache when what I want is more L3 cache.
The N305 has the same amount of L3 cache as the N100!

Lol i just realized i could try making a ring bus among the orange pi's with their m.2's.

That orange pi cluster workstation laptops with openssi actually works for me as a project given that I am interested in clusters and have been looking for a better workstation laptop but have been having trouble seeing how to afford it...
And frankly it would prob suffice given the way I like to use computers.
The question becomes how hard is this gonna be, is there broader appeal and is anyone else doing this, and do I need it soon or can I afford to wait for the orange pi 6 to come out whenever that will be?
Could be cool.

lol I just finished designing this switching regulator onto my PCB to find out the voltage range isn't quit right... It's 1.8-5.5v input range when I was planning to use a 4x AA battery compartment which maxes out at 6v. I guess using a 3x is an option or I need to find another solution...
the thing was somewhat complicated to wire up on the PCB so I hope I don't have to redo that...
I was planning on using this: https://www.lcsc.com/datasheet/lcsc_datasheet_2409280102_NATLINEAR-XT3406AFMR-G_C190828.pdf
which is similar to this: https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tlv62565.pdf

I imagine living on island or somewhere like that and having a business around owning a small epyc cluster with cxl or whatever and a Chinese 6G connection in the future could be a cool, enjoyable way to live.

So I found this mini pc that's ryzen 7 from 2022 and supports up to 96GB of DDR5...
Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Check it out!
$679.98 | GMKtec Mini Pc M7 AMD Ryzen7 PRO 6850H NUCBOX AMD Radeon™ 680M Window 11 Pro WIFI 6 USBC 4.0
https://a.aliexpress.com/_m0yER6R
It says it's only $300 for cyber monday...
It does not come with RAM or an SSD...
I feel like something like this would make a good budget gaming laptop replacement...
My only complaint about these processors are that they only have 16MB of L3 cache...
Thats still way up from my old gaming laptop that served me well and only had 6MB of cache and 1/4th the processing power...
So it could work.
$300 still isn't cheap given that a $50 xeon + $60 X99 motherboard could likely match this thing with at least twice the cache and cheaper RAM albeit with higher power consumption...
It does have nice integrated graphics tho so I guess you are paying for that.
Other than that it might be worth it to look for deals on nice X86 SBCs...
But I'll keep an eye on the chinese market for stuff like this.

I feel bored. I have the potential to do more interesting things maybe. But I don't feel ready to do them rn...
I'm a bit stressed. I've been thinking and I've also had a potentially really cool idea.
I have so many potential things I could be doing. I'm wondering what I can do thats most strategic and exciting to me.
I've been doing a lot of thinking but I have a lot left to think about and figure out. Some stuff I'm just gonna have to see.
There are seperate planning/theorizing and action parts of getting stuff done. Ive also learned it helps to take things slow as much as you can.
Wondering how my time is best spent now.

I wonder how hard it would be going into the future (especially with CXL/Computer Express Link) to make a little cluster of high end epyc systems and boot into a single Linux environment?
That would be a fun toy./it would be cool

Would be cool if intel made like monster APUs with on package HBM and VCache.
Maybe AMD doesn't want to do that because of PS and XBox...
