I use DietPi with Kodi for an HTPC, it works well. I like the tools provided by DietPi, they make headless administration very easy. You don’t need to remember details, just load up the right DietPi tool.

I haven’t tried linreelc.

The Inky Frame 7.3″ with Pico 2 W comes with an optional accessory kit that includes two metal legs, a 3x AA battery pack, three AA batteries, a Type-B Micro USB cable, a Velcro square for attaching the battery pack, and a microSD card. The standalone Inky Frame is priced at $94.50, while the version with the accessory kit costs $104.90.

Micro USB! These days I would avoid anything that doesn’t use USB-C connectors.

I am liking the Schenker VIA 14 Pro in their list of top ultra-portables. Solid CPU (even though based on Zen 4), decent iGPU (780M).

That being said, if you can wait for 2-3 month, it might be worth seeing what is available after all the announcements at CES.

DietPi is a lightweight and optimized operating system based on Linux, tailored for single-board computers and small-scale devices. Its primary goal is to provide a minimal yet efficient environment for running various applications and services with minimal resource consumption.

Sounds like the RX 9070 XT performance is not that impressive:

Recent benchmark leaks have revealed that AMD’s upcoming Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics card may not deliver the groundbreaking performance initially hoped for by enthusiasts. According to leaked 3DMark Time Spy results shared by hardware leaker @All_The_Watts, the RDNA 4-based GPU achieved a graphics score of 22,894 points. The benchmark results indicate that the RX 9070 XT performs only marginally better than AMD’s current RX 7900 GRE, showing a mere 2% improvement. It falls significantly behind the RX 7900 XT, which maintains almost a 17% performance advantage over the new card. These findings contradict earlier speculation that suggested the RX 9070 XT would compete directly with NVIDIA’s RTX 4080.

Looks like AMD has basically given up on the high end and is focusing more on the mid-range and iGPUs; arguably areas with much more market potential.

As per recent reports, the upcoming Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 395 APU will sport an RDNA 3.5-based iGPU with a whopping 40 CUs, and will likely be branded as the Radeon 8060S. In a leaked Geekbench Vulkan benchmark, the Radeon 8060S managed to outpace the RTX 4060 Laptop dGPU in performance. However, according to yet another leaked benchmark, Passmark, the Radeon 8060S and the 32-CU 8050S scored 16,454 and 16,663 respectively - and no, that is not a typo. The 8060S with 40 CUs is marginally slower than the 8050S with 32 CUs, clearly indicating that the numbers are far from final. That said, performance in this range puts the Strix Halo APUs well below the RTX 4070 laptop GPU, and roughly the same as the RTX 3080 Laptop. Not bad for an iGPU, although it is almost certain that actual performance of the retail units will be higher, judging by the abnormally small delta between the 8050S and the 8060S.

For an iGPU to seemingly beat out a 4060 laptop dGPU is a very a solid achievement, especially if there are notable (double digit) increases in performance for the actual released product. I wonder what the power draw is on these system, it’s got to be less than a strong CPU + 4060 laptop dGPU combo.

Best options would be to try and reach out to them directly. Either via their website or try finding employees on LinkedIn and perhaps other social media.

Is any of it covered by some type of insurance or are advances like this basically for whoever is broke enough physically but well enough financially to afford it?

Not sure about US-specific insurance issues, but I can’t imagine this will be available for people without financial means (outside of some cases for PR and/or for testing).

I got on this on Windows 10 too.

At first I thought I got a virus or something, but then realized this was some ASUS bullshit.

First Japan decides to create a national (private) semiconductor company (Rapidus) and now Korea is looking into building a company around mature nodes.

I am really curious whether Rapidus will find success and if Korea will go through with KSMC.

In case of Meta, this not actually true.

They have a dual layer share structure where Zuck holds special class share that provide him full control even if he doesn’t have a majority of “ownership class” shares.

I mean, I am sure Zuck wants “line go up”, but we are at point where it’s more like his personal fiefdom and he can tell shareholders to bugger off and let him burn $46 Billion on his weird metaverse fetish.
