  • Have had this issue myself asking with other DD card related issues.

    I can’t understand why the pi foundation persist with using SD as the only physically practical storage option.

    They’re looking post the point of needing a way to snap on reliable EMMC storage, as a default, in a way that doesn’t leave a cable or something permanently plugged into a USB port.

    Sure, USB is a fine option, but I hate that it’s only an option and not a designed default.

    Most of us only need 8GB or so for the OS, 8GB or good quality durable EMMC should hardly cost anything.

    Other tiny computers and even economy notebooks and Chromebooks already use this.








  • You just described ARMA3 with some mods.

    I remember being tossed in the deep end when the mods were new to me. Having to diagnose and treat gunshot wounds, inject morphine, run fluids etc… even CPR, certain medics could do transfusions, match blood types etc.

    Was kinda frightening for a PC game… And often all of this was under enemy fire.

    The enemy would be injured, shot, concussed, knocked unconscious, lose blood etc. the potential existed for them to regain consciousness after a while and if you hadn’t removed their weapons they could fire in you. Surprised the shit out of people not used to these mods… Always had to check downed hostiles.





  • I still disagree. There are far more significant factors than the frequency.

    Longer wavelength isn’t an instant blanket solution to better propogation.

    Factors like typical transmitter and receiver configurations matter, location matters, object density matters, reflections etc… etc…

    Hence why UHF is preferred in some cases by emergency services and so on.

    Ultimately anything above 60MHz is going to be line of sight or a reflection when assuming the receiving station is mobile or portable, and in that case if the user is indoors higher frequencies might reflect better.

    Also narrow FM has more power density than wide FM for the same power level, hence why broadcast transmitters need to be so incredibly powerful to get anywhere.
