If you wish to make apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe - Carl Sagan
I also love this showerthought from reddit: All the materials for wverything made has existed on earth for billions of years, they just werent assembled in the right order yet.

M.2 E has PCIe ×2, USB 2.0, I2C, SDIO, UART and PCM. As far as I know, NVMe drives want 4 PCIe lanes.
There are recent low-cost NVMe drives that do 2x, I believe.

Odroid H2 has 2 X SATA 3.0 - https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-h2/ A number of others have mini PCIE that you can add a PCIE SATA board to - https://www.amazon.com/Port-Controller-AsMedia-ASM1061-Chips...
I bought an Odriod once. It was DOA and at the insane shipping prices I just took it as a lesson learned to never buy Odroid again. I've gone through probably 20 Pi's and never had one DOA or even die for that matter.
If you are in North America, I would recommend purchasing from https://ameridroid.com/ or https://olympianled.com/brand/hardkernel/

> 472 gigaflops Whenever I hear a number of gigaflops or terraflops, I like to look up the history of super computers [0]. This $99 computer is faster (on paper) than the world's fastest supercomputer in 1996, or a bit over 20 years ago. That's pretty cool.

Weird. I opened it in reader mode. Doesn't seem to be on the normal page. It's a screenshot, maybe a draft? https://www.nvidia.com/content/dam/en-zz/Solutions/pattern-l...
The "PCIe x 16" probably means that goes with one of the previous, much more expensive, Jetson boards. This $99 Jetson appears to have no direct support for any type of M.2 drive. Maybe some M.2E PCIe to SATA adapter board, if such a thing exists.

Pi needs way more than 500ma, which a USB 2 port maxes out at, I think. I think a pi3 needs at least 2 or 3 amps.
Most phone chargers now are 1.5-2A standard... My first pi (a B, not a B+, gen 1) it was pretty common for phone chargers to be 1A. I still remember over clocking it no problem. Just looking at the 3 chargers sitting next to me they are 3A (phone), 1A (tablet) and 1.6A (IDK, probably a phone). I've had all these for several years (you can probably guess the order). I think I'd be hard pressed to find one that was For…
Are you confused who you are replying to?

After viewing primitive technology and crafting videos I'm convinced of the opposite. Culture makes you think that only mass market can do that.
I feel that again misses the point. Sure, it's perfectly possible for a resourceful and knowledgable human to hand-engineer various tools from the environment. But to make something very much like an ordinary pencil made of wood, graphite, rubber, metal, and paint would be a monumental task, far beyond the cost of a pencil in our established society. The fact is that globalization and industrialization has democratiz…

Which may or may not include automatically killing people via drones.
They're pretty clear that that isn't kosher: Weapons or other technologies whose principal purpose or implementation is to cause or directly facilitate injury to people. https://www.blog.google/technology/ai/ai-principles/ But drones that spy on people are ok as long as they aren't "violating internationally accepted norms" which sort of sounds like a blank check.

I never said anything about a phone charger. Are you confused who you are replying to?

Maybe the reply was meant for me? Maybe it's just me but because there is no off switch on a Rpi I am constantly plugging and unplugging it, I have found the receiver or female part of the connector on the board tends to get loose from that, that is where the loss of power seems to be coming from, I have run into this issue with my BLU amazon phone also. I'm just not a fan of the micro USB connector I guess, but mayb…
