NASA's Voyager 1 Spacecraft Is Speaking Gibberish
NASA’s iconic space probe is having trouble communicating with its home planet due to a computer glitch, forcing engineers to resort to decades-old manuals to come up with a way to fix the 46-year-old mission. Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 is now more than 24 billion kilometres away from Earth. T...
I watched that Star Trek movie
Can NASA start making motherboards for PCs? Average lifetime for one now is under 10 years
They usually become outdated before they break, ie. an important component like the CPU can't be upgraded any more, because it won't fit, so you need to upgrade the whole thing.
Yes I know Intel works on a Tic Tock system so every 2 generations they change the pinouts. AM4 lasted 4 generations, hopefully AM5 will too but unlikely. Still a CPU will last well over 10 years. Motherboards on the other hand, dont even though they should last a lot longer esp considering all the tantilum / other SMD capacitors.
Voyager also only uses mW of power compared to the 25-300w of current CPUs
Alson I was joking about NASA doing anything other than space stuff
