The "screenshots" are ridiculous, but it does works very well. Haven't died of dysentery yet.

Works on my Android phone and my Chromebook. There are some small scaling issues, but it is very usable for me. I bit of pinch to zoom and panning required on a small screen, but still useable. Nice job!

Sounds cool. Will check it out and report back.

I have had very similar work out in my favor early on. New engineer, some hacky idea that saves the day doing something that was "impossible" and got a bigger raise and promotion than I have gotten in any way other than saying I was leaving a job since. It was nice recognition. I have had some repeat of this recently, but not quite the same bump. It comes to be that fixing some urgent problem is way more $$ rewarding than running a team and making sure your team doesn't run into that stuff and just delivers on time. It is odd, but in a way it makes sense. You get more recognition for putting out a fire than preventing one. Everyone is watching while something is burning and recognition from someone above your direct manager is the way to get a better than nominal raise.

This is the main lawyer that handled PIA's (Private Internet Access) legal challenges: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jarsenault Being a VPN, they would get contacted about a lot of stuff like this. He is a decent guy from my personal experience and maybe he would be a good contact if you don't already have a lawyer handling this.

LPDDR uses a wider bus so, at a similar clock rate, it is faster.

DDR5 contains two forms of ECC. The first is standard ECC which is used to correct for bit flips in transmission. The second on-die ECC is used to correct bit flips on the die, hence the name. The world has already accepted that standard ECC on high speed interfaces is a good idea, so why would on-die ECC be a bad idea? Yes, they correct different error types, but they both attempt to correct corrupted bits and the do so in a mathematically similar way.

All that said, there are still ECC (has an ECC memory) and no-ECC dimms for DDR5. So if the on-die ECC is concerning for anyone, they can still get a DIMM with a separate ECC memory. But the ECC happening at the interface between the DIMM and the CPU will still exist always and you will have to trust it.

Honestly, I agree that it can be draining and lonely. That doesn't mean it isn't rewarding or that it is somehow regrettable. Maybe it is just me, but I do feel that men in general have trouble sharing the load they carry. Being busy, which you definitely are if you are parenting little kids, will make that self evident. If you aren't able to share your thoughts and emotions, it can make you feel both of those things. I am a bit of an introvert so I drift in this direction at times and am always refreshed when I talk to other parents for a bit. I should do it more, but it is not in my nature. I could see a resource like this being useful.

This looks pretty cool and totally worked for me. Please update the Github page to include build instructions for anyone who wants to contribute. I see you have plans for Forge and Pocket Edition support so I am excited to see this progress.

This name, UltraRAM, is already in use by Xilinx for quite a while, https://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/white_papers/wp... . They are the larger, but less flexible, embedded memories inside there Ultrascale and newer FPGAs.

So, I was confused by the title of the article.
