History
In 1926, the growing use of automobiles enabled people to travel more widely and resulted in the "discovery" of the beach by motorist J.M. Harkness and it was named Dingo Beach.[3] People from Proserpine and Bowen then began using the beach for recreation, although the road was described as being very rough.[4] It officially became a town in 1966 but is no longer gazetted as a town today.[2]
gollark: I haven't heard of anyone making a "M.3".
gollark: No, I mean I think M.2 slots can only deliver up about 15W or so max power, so you couldn't use more than that.
gollark: Also it would have to run on 15W.
gollark: I don't see why you would want it? They couldn't really be extra cores which seem like they're on the same CPU. They would, as I said, have to be an effectively independent computer with some kind of high-bandwidth link to the main one.
gollark: That would also be very impractical, unless you make the "extra cores" basically a small independent computer with its own RAM and stuff.
