I think one could be made without the need to keep touching a common electrode (with capacitance only) but would require good calibration

iGPUs vary by feature set a lot. A fully-featured GPU can sit on the motherboard and use the same cooling system as the CPU but most are bare-bones, maybe just with video codecs.

Your GPU has 128 MB of memory? What for? Mine just pushes framebuffer contents outta the VGA and DVI-D ports, with some features like I²C to determine supported resolutions and VSYNC to prevent tearing.

VMs with desktop Linux or Android are technically possible but you won’t enjoy the performance. Better dual-boot with those specs.

Damn, 1 GB of RAM in cca 2003? That was really a high-end machine. But 4 GB is enough for a Linux computer now with not too many browser tabs or workflows with large files.

Memory usage vastly depends on what the GUI framework is, if any files are open, what processing is being done… There can be a terminal emulator that needs 300 MB, and a hex editor can use any amount of RAM depending on what file is loaded (although better ones load file chunks on demand).

Woah… Your username is “codewizard”, yet you can’t read line charts or XY plots, simple data visualization techniques taught in middle school?

If you have a meter on the wall that says “height”, height exists outside the meter too. Height is a property of every point in the room. For any point, you can follow a horizontal line to the corresponding point on the meter, read the number, and that’s the height at that spot. Also, every point on a horizontal plane will have the same height: all points on the kitchen counter will have a height of about 83 cm, every point on the ceiling a height of about 230 cm. The meter is basically an axis and you’re using it to measure how high various points throughout the room are.

Then people realized you can do it in 2 or 3 dimensions and represent data.

This diagram does not physically exist, it would be impossible to maintain such temperature and pressure gradient. What it helps with is identifying which state water is in under given conditions. Find the temperature you’re interested in on the x-axis and the pressure you’re interested in on the y-axis, project these values at right angles to find a point in the chart and the color at that point is the state water is in for the specific conditions.

I was just using a basic example where a value (latitude) increases as you go in one direction and another (longitude) as you go in another. Coordinates (0°, 0°), or zero point, of maps is indeed the intersect between the equator and Prime Meridian, known as Null Island (which is actually just a buoy). They use Longitude-latitude(-elevation), which are polar coordinates and useful for navigation on and near the surface. There’s the ECEF (Cartesian) system too, centered on Earth’s center of mass, but much less intuitive.

You seem to conflate axes and the quantities they represent. Learn more about graphs.

Yes but it should be explained to OP that even though there is an axis labeled “time”, time exists outside that line. The label does not say “here is time” but “this line shows how many seconds away from the reference point any point is based on how far it is in this direction on the diagram”

In graphs, how high and how far right a point is describe its properties. Like the phase diagram of water: the further right you are, the higher the temperature, the further up you are, the higher the pressure. At each point, water would be in a certain state, which is plotted on the graph as colored areas.

Axes are markings that only help measure how hot and pressurized a certain point is. You are probably at around 100 kPa (atmospheric pressure) and 295 K (room temperature) so you experience liquid water. Even though the vertical axis is labeled “Pressure”, that does not mean pressure only exists on that line; same for the temperature axis. These meet at absolute zero in near-vacuum. Even though you pr But you might prefer axes at 0 °C (the left vertical red line) and 1 atm (the horizontal red line).

Graphs of temperature, voltage, air pressure, money etc. over time also use different units for the two axes.

Of course, some graphs do indeed use the same units, for example the cube-shaped RGB space has “1/255 of max subpixel brightness” units on all axes.

If you’re at the intersection of time and space, it means you are anywhere in spacetime: you exist, will exist, or have existed at some place in the universe. Yes, the “intersection of time and space” is all of spacetime, much like the “intersection of latitude and longitude” is the entire surface of the Earth because that’s the set of points for which both latitude and longitude are defined.

We can put the 4 axes of spacetime (𝑥-, 𝑦-, 𝑧-displacement* and time) anywhere we want to define a point 0 (𝑥=0 m, 𝑦=0 m, 𝑧=0 m, t=0 s) where they meet (and that’s symbolic too, graphs where axes don’t cross at 0 are common and often useful but sometimes purposefully misleading). This is probably what you meant. Astronomers might put it into the infinitesimal universe at the time of Big Bang (and align the space axes to the cosmic microwave background as time passes). Islam scholars might put it on 622-06-16 CE at Kaaba in Mecca. As far as GPS satellites are concerned, the zero point is 1980-01-06 00:00:00 UTC at the center of the WGS-84 ellipsoid (and the space axes are locked to the rotating Earth as time passes).

* Diagrams of spacetime are limited to 1 or 2 space axes because they exist as representations of the 4D concept in space (2D (𝑥𝑦), aka plane, or 3D (𝑥𝑦𝑧)) only.

Nope.

The question is as nonsensical as “what if you’re on the intersection of latitude and longitude?”, as if longitude only existed on the equator and latitude on the Prime Meridian. All points on Earth have longitude and latitude, and are the intersections of their respective local meridian and local circle of latitude (aka “parallel”). Not necessarily the Prime Meridian and the equator, that’s only for “point zero” of Earth. These lines are often in the center of maps and can be thought of as “axes” but axes only mark values, they aren’t the quantities the values represent.

If you’re at the intersection of time and space, it means you are anywhere in spacetime: you exist, will exist, or have existed at some place in the universe.

In the US, cops are afraid to be killed by people too. Or love pretending to face tough criminals (and their dogs, apparently.) That’s why SWATting is so overpowering.

It’s a laptop so the battery will keep the RAM powered. Very clever and practical, especially for files so confidential you only have one copy − data burglars will be looking for disks. /s

denary

Yes, that’s technically the correct 10th term in the Latin-based unary-binary-ternary-… sequence but nobody calls it that… I wondered what your mother tongue is but I couldn’t find a language in which the preferred name for “decimal system” would use den- rather than dec-, dek-, des- or a completely different word. Not to mention you avoided senidenary for obvious reasons…
