Surprised you can’t put an HDD into this case.

I don’t live in the US. The price in local currency was close enough to $50.

Are the microcontrollers used in the Elmo dolls; I think that’s the key question.

M.2 installed base is simply too large by this point. I am also assuming margins on motherboards with EDSFF are significantly higher and OEMs want to avoid cannibalisation.

Biggest issue is the Intel CPU.

I am surprised to see SMIC and Hua Hong’s shares decline. One would think semiconductors fabbed by these companies would be used almost exclusively for the Chinese market. In theory, tariffs/sanctions should have no impact on their business.

Specifications:

• Screen: 4.0-inch IPS full viewing angle, OCA full lamination, 800*680 resolution
• CPU: AK3326 quad-core ARM Cortex-A53, 1.5GHz frequency
• GPU: Dual-core G31 MP2
• RAM: 1GB LPDDR4
• Storage: 64GB TF/MicroSD

Not too bad for the price. Considering it runs linux, you should have the freedom to customize this device.

The biggest drawback is the 4 inch screen, but I guess one can’t complain considering the price.

That’s a crazy design. I am not sure I’d want a case like (I prefer minimalism), but I can appreciate the creativity and beauty of the design.

This seems like a very useful innovation.

Both Intel and TSMC have leveraged A (for Angstrom), as in 18A node, for their next generation nodes.

Yes, it’s good for low complexity, large scope use cases.

The classic example is transaction processing (that’s what those IBM mainframe with 4 way and 8 way SMT are often used for).

I don’t even know who to trust here. Apple has motivation to highlight how Apple Intelligence is massive success (irrespective of whether it is true or not) and Google has an incentive to play up the strength of their service.

Good point! Didn’t think of that.

The article ain’t clear on this, but it seems this an x86 CPU.

Curious to see multi-thread benchmarks for this CPU (I am assuming ST is subar and many years behind American CPU companies).

I am surprised nothing was mentioned about the previously reported initiative to develop their own semiconductors (not IP, but actual products to be shipped in devices).

I use DietPi (an excellent SBC OS that combines minimalism with a powerful set of CLI management tools for people who are not experts in Linux), I am not looking forward to the base Debian update.

I don’t know how it works with Raspberry Pi OS, but with DietPi I was forced to do a clean install after a borked update to the bookworm base. I stick to defaults and in-built configuration tools with DietPi.

I am surprised they went as far as mass shutdown of mobile internet in so many large metropolitan areas.

Seems like they are being paranoid. I don’t get the impression we have the capabilities for a big strike that would have immense symbolic impact (e.g. on the military units taking part in the parade in Moscow).

Not to mention all the other drawbacks associated with HarmonyOS (lack of applications, increased complexity with support etc.)

I wouldn’t be surprised if there will be more price increases. 20% seems relatively modest considering the tariff for key computer/component manufacturing countries.

Your going to be blocking a large part of the internet.

And even sites that don’t have this notice share your data with random spyware companies, they just don’t tell you about it.
