  • Outdated info iirc. This was the case with android 13 for fp3, which they skipped completely and jumped to 14. They also still push updates regularly for all phones later than fp2.

    And if you want bleeding edge updates, no phone maker does that and youll have to look at lineageOS, which tends to break things once in a while.

    ( im a fp4 user with lineageos running android 15, sep 3 update )





  • Cache man, its a fun thing. 32k 32 (derp, 32 not 32k) is a common cache line size. Some compilers realise that your data might be hit often and aligns it to a cache line start to make its access fast and easy. So yes, it might allocate more memory than it should need, but then its to align the data to something like a cache line.
    There is also a hardware reasons that might also be the case. I know the wii’s main processor communicates with the co processor over memory locations that should be 32k aligned because of access speed, not only because of cache. Sometimes, more is less :')

    Hell, might even be a cause of instruction speed that loading and handling 32k of data might be faster than a single byte :').

    Then there is also the minimum heap allocation size that might factor in. Though a 32k minimum memory block seems… Excessive xD







  • Correct, but most people also use a lot of latent power ( fridge, icebox, heat pump, air circulation, … ) but yes, not as much as being generated sometimes.
    I understand that a lot of people ( in germany, netherlands and belgium ) install a battery to store that power, or use automation to limit the generated power to match the used power. You can do this with a smart meter, p1 cable and home assistant.
    Personally, my one panel of 440W is more than enough. At average it generates enough to cover my usage at home ( when sunny ) and my usage when not home ( when cloudy ). And imo, every watt i generate is a watt im not paying for :')

    Doesnt take away i believe that injecting power into the grid should cost you something, but it should be peanuts ( 0.001c per kW or something )
