Explain yourselves.
I don't live in India.

You can get radiation inside the US
>>55137854
You GET radiation everywhere. In fact you are being bombarded by radiation right now. Enjoy
>>55137854
No you can't.
>>55137884
sure sure, Ben Grim
>>55137884
Yes, you get background radiation everywhere.
>>55137879
Exactly. Hence the need for this CPU
>>55137892
>>55137903
Not me, I'm sure of that, homies.

>radiation hardened CPU
>not lead lining the whole case
What good is your CPU if the radiation destroys every other component?
>>55137978
The whole case is also radiation hardened, or the room where the equipment is installed.
The CPU and any kind of memory in the system are also hardened for extra protection against bit flipping induced by radiation.
>>55137884
You can get the radium out of a fire alarm.

Are you retarded?
>>55139839
I just woke up like 5 minutes ago.
Smoke detector is what i was meaning.
>>55139839
Early smoke detectors were made using Radium-226 instead of Americium-241.

> Letting your PC fail in the event of an atomic attack
Any PC would fail anyways unless its built in a bunker that keeps all electromagnetic waves from reaching the pc.
Any electric coild would instantly fry.
>>55139858
You're still wrong.
>>55139860
Yea, but those haven't been sold since probably long before that guy was born.
>>55137907
I'm using my normal CPU just fine, though.
In fact, I'm shitposting on /g/ with it right now.
That proves that I don't need any fancy CPU. x86 and ARM are all I need.

Why would I need it?
>>55140512
You don't. Thats why you're not working at NASA or state department.
>>55140532
I get your intent but find the description entertaining: I'm not working for NASA or the state department because I do not have a radiation-resistant processor. Therefore if I were to buy one, either entity would hire me.
>>55140570
The logic is bit wonky but the point gets across. I kept the wonky logic simply because I thought it was amusing.
>>55139819
That was honestly kinda depressing to read through.

> not making your bedroom into a faraday cage with only one antenna that comes in and out with a fuse on it to stop very strong em waves from entering
>>55140186
Radium-226 smoke detectors are still made for (heavy) industrial purposes where a Americium-241 based ionization detector element would mess with the production process or where a optical smoke detector is not usable. For example very high humidity obscuring the lenses.
>>55140570
Yes in fact, in the process of trying to keep costs low it's one of the factors they look for in their employment. Each employee must already pocess a radiation resistant processing unit.
>>55139819
Oh shit son, he worked on the USS Enterprise.
Mark me jelly.
>>55140825
Now...if only they had radiation-resistant employees...
>>55140854
Yeah me too, the Big E was awsome.

I love shit like this, very specific processors designed for a specific purpose, with very low processing power still being used to do modern tasks.
>>55137656
all you need to make sure your precious consumer shit is safe when nukes are dropped is a faraday cage and a lead radiation shield
>>55140666
No way that would work. When it happens, TempleOS will be your only choice.
>>55141349
It's a radiation hardened PowerPC 750, the same used in Macs
>>55141546
Yes as the PowerPC G3.
>>55141546
I more meant how the develope software around the processor. So while it is a very underpowered, and old processor, the programs running on it being used by Nasa for example have been programmed specifically to run on that processor, so it's able to utilize it to its fullest extent.
I'm also drunk af though so i'm probably just babbling on about nothing.
TL;DR - I think old stuff still being used for modern purposes is neato.
>>55141839
The whole aspect of programming optimized software is very neat indeed. As an embedded programmer for processors like this I can hack and optimise the fuck out of everything.
