If there are motherboards and daughterboards, are there fatherboards and sonboards?

The observant will have noticed one of these early uses of mother-board are in conjunction with baby-board, and not today’s common daughterboard. A mother-baby relationship seems more appropriate in this context than mother-daughter.

If 1 motherboard can make 1 babyboard in 9 months, can 3 motherboards make 1 babyboard in 3 months?

No. When you see 2 or 3 motherboards to tether, the are probably doing rasbian stuff.

Neat.
Wonder why the terminology changed.

wait till you hear about white and black boards.
czardestructo@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Or master and slave boards…

There’s also bread- and waterboards

They are both very similar. Breadboarding is making a circuit on a breadboard while waterboarding is making a circuit on someone’s nipples whit a car battery while you’re pouring water over their face.

Wait until you run into stepmother boards.
There’s two types. The first are the evil stepmother boards that make you do all the hard work.
The other is the good stepmother board that gives you handjobs or takes your virginity

Noooo, boats cars and computers are girls and therefore have girl parts.

Well, the motherboard has female connectors. Idk about the rest tbh.
DontTreadOnBigfoot@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Does it? All the connectors I’m thinking of on the motherboard have protruding pins, which seem a lot more phallic to me. Are they really considered the ‘female’ connectors?
lurch@sh.itjust.works 2 days ago
You’re right, there can be some, like the pins for power button and LEDs. But CPU, RAM, Power, SATA, the external ones on the backpane etc are all female.
