it is quite interesting that it actually has an sdcard slot but doesn't use it as a boot device? Like wtf? With only 128 MB of flash what kind of OS can one even fit on that...
Stay tuned, according to the Bouffalo Lab BL808 SoC datasheet (page 90) series numbering system that the board is based on, they will probably have more RAM and ROM capacity in the later versions of the SoC:
The NanoPi Duo has 4 cores and 512MB of RAM which is super usable. Includes WiFi etc. I'm not sure why RISC-V is such a draw here, considering the boards limitations.
It also has MCU cores in addition to the application core.
In fact I don't think there's anything stopping you from just running on the larger MCU cores and simply disabling the large core if you really wanted to for some reason.
Yes, Sweden was a socialist country for awhile (1960-1994), it no longer is because the experiment failed.
They've been reversing their welfare programs and are rated highly on the economic freedom index.
Taxes are still high to pay for the welfare programs, but as they are reformed I'd assume the government will lower them.
Even so, America once had a 70% income tax, that didn't make us socialist, though it made us economically weak (thanks for the cuts Reagan, you saved us) .
> Between 1870 and 1950, Sweden had the highest per capita income growth in the world and became one of the richest countries, behind only Switzerland, the U.S., and Denmark.
> In the 1960s, Sweden started to redistribute wealth, which brought wealth creation to a halt.
> By the mid-1990s, the country had growing economic problems because it continued to redistribute wealth it wasn’t creating.
> In 1994, Sweden began implementing the following measures designed to reverse this trend
- Reduce Regulation
- Reduce Government Spending
- Reform their Welfare Programs
- Shrink their Government
tldr: socialism is like crack, you only need to try it once and it'll destroy your life/country.
