Your thoughts?

I really liked the section of the video titled "CPU" 'cause it actually explained everything well and used sketch-noting or whatever you call it (I'm referring to the graphs here).

An FPGA is the most recyclable part there is. Consoles usually have like 30 custom ICs that can only be used by that console because it was made by some mega-corp who special order things from the supplier. In contrast the FPGA on these things can br reused for pretty much anything else while all the other parts have to be off the shelf since most of the designs are open source.

If you think that even .5% of people who buy an FPGA console do any of these things you are kidding yourself. Happy new year
