The hardware support is purely a function of the decision of this specific project to only target newer graphics APIs. The Ocarina of Time decomp for example supports older PC hardware through OpenGL and has also been ported to Dreamcast.

It's actually not even 60. The FPS target is configurable in the settings and for some reason the default is 57.

Given the memory configuration it seems extremely unlikely that it's socketed. It's certainly not AM5.

The document editing portion just uses Collabora which is based on Libreoffice.

The Strix Halo GPU is roughly around RTX 4060 (laptop version) performance.

Phoronix just doesn't do much mobile dGPU testing in general to have any data to compare with there.

The best thing about Renpy is that the text rendering actually looks good, which is true of shockingly few VN engines even today.

Especially when you increase the window size or run fullscreen, most VN engines just render the whole game at a fixed resolution and upscale it up but Renpy makes the framebuffer match the window size and renders text at the full resolution.

It's been done before. Lots of 90s bootleg consoles used clones of the Famicom/NES chips, though they weren't particularly accurate clones. The Commodore 64 Direct-To-TV of all things had a custom ASIC made for it in 2004.

I think these days FPGAs have just gotten cheap enough that the economics of making custom chips doesn't make much sense for the volumes these kinds of products tend to sell.

Because nobody makes 24V power supplies for computers, they'd have to convince the whole industry to agree on new PSU standards.

The actual Car Thing runs Linux on an Amlogic S905D2 (quad Cortex A53) with 512MB RAM/4GB flash and an 800x480 screen. So you could do something similar with pretty much any random cheap ARM SBC.

The airport was built in 1943.

You can always just change the power limits in the BIOS settings.
