Yes, why would you want to use an embedded OS that is optimized for touch display, on hardware that is trivial to turn into an embedded system with a touch display...

Fair enough, touchscreens on Linux are indeed hit and miss. I thought Android on non-phone/tablets was much the same.

My advice: don't lament Raspberry Pi RAM upgrades, especially given they're only slightly harder to perform now.

My advice is to not be a cuck. The raspi people made it harder for you to tinker with your own hardware and you should not appreciate that any more than in the earliest days when Liz promised us that they were going to release Android for the Pi and then never did. They've been customer-unfriendly from the beginning, when they were selling boards with dumb mistakes that ruined them for many purposes (remember raspi A USB fails? remember the MANY power supply failures?) and then telling us we should suck it up and be happy to have got them at all.

There are Android images available for the Orange Pi I have. No idea why you would want to run that over a real Linux distro unless your really need a phone app of some sort.

Do the 2027 BMWs still have the newer grilles that look like beaver teeth? They lost their way at 8 and 12 cylinders. S52 here.

E36 is a classic, nice. I'm looking to switch from an M240i to an M2. They still have the normal grilles. Nothing against beavers, I'm Canadian, but I don't love the new ones either.

The problem is that one of the major advances of the past few years is training models on verifiable problems (it started with things like math problems and Countdown puzzles, but it's expanded tremendously since then), where the reward is for a correct answer, regardless of how it got there.

What exactly is a "reward" in this context? Sort of like "that's a good dog" but without the treats?

Why not a screen or cover for your license plate that activates and obscures it when within a certain distance of any known Flock camera. Make it appear as to be something innocent, e.g. mud, so it looks like an accidentally obscured tag.

Unfortunately that give the police a reason to kill you.

There's also an explicit insurance policy offered by governments against a Chernobyl type event

And many of the same people who complain about this are first to ask for government state-of-emergency assistance in the case of catastrophic weather events.
