@bradlinder I just played this on my #SteamVR #ValveIndex and it was mindblowing!
-
Will we still be able to use browser profiles inside of a user space on chromeOS? that felt like the main "feature" of lacros, in addition to all the backend stuff.

@bradlinder Very imbalanced? I'd like to see reasonable DIY phone, and there were some attempts, but this is not a good one. Power hungry LTE module with tiny battery. (Not to mention expensive). That will not work well. Espruino has better try, for example: https://www.espruino.com/Pixl.js+SMS+Remote+Monitoring #DIYPhone -

@liliputing_ @bradlinder
I have a NexDock 360 (2-in-1/tent-able model) and its great; but they seem to do a model for a bit and discontinue it. Hopefully they release a new 360 model.I appreciate the move to a full-size HDMI port; keeping track of the mini HDMI cable has been challenging.

@stdevel @bradlinder that is sadly not the truth anymore.
Despite being "#UbuntuCertified" absolute basics like the #WWAN module didn't wotk at all on a work issued #ThinkPad #P15v.
Neither them nor #Canonical nor #Fibocom (#850GL WWAN Card) nor #Intel (#XMM7360 is the chipset of said card) felt responsible to fix it.Not gonna talk about #nvidia being shitty again on that occasion...

I'm enamored with what the #FrameworkLaptop. The display is too small for me tho.
After watching https://fosstodon.org/@bradlinder/109786130548133787 I'm wondering: has anyone tried building a '#FrankenLaptop' with framework parts and a larger screen? -
Lilbits: Turning a smartphone into a mini-laptop, the first 750 Hz monitor is coming, and MCON mobile game controller hits Kickstarter
Before smartphones were a thing, the world of pocket-sized computers were somewhat divided between touchscreen devices like the Palm Pilot and mini-laptops like the HP Jornada 720. Taking inspiration from the latter, TypingCat has designed a portable keyboard case for a Google Pixel 6 Pro that turns a smartphone into a mini-laptop, complete with a Linux-based desktop environment (running inside of Android, so you can still use the phone as… a phone).
In other recent tech news from around the web, UGREEN plans to expand the line of network attached storage (NAS) devices the company first unveiled a year ago. A company called KOORUI plans to show the first consumer monitor with a 750 Hz refresh rate at CES next week. And there’s a new crowdfunding campaign for a mobile game controller with an unusual design.
Turn your phone into a mini laptop [Thingiverse]
TypingCat (via Thingiverse)This work-in-progress project is a design for a 3D-printed chassis turns a Google Pixel 6 Pro smartphone into a mini-laptop complete with a mini keyboard (and a desktop Linux UI running on Android). The kickstand is a particularly clever touch to keep the whole thing from tipping over.
Activate the Possibility of AI NAS [UGREEN]
UGREEN plans to expand its NASync line of network attached storage devices with the new iDX series featuring Intel Core Ultra chips and AI features including AI chat, smart tags, search, and meeting summarization.
KOORUI to Unveil the World’s First Monitor with a 750Hz Refresh Rate at CES 2025 [press release]
This 24.5 inch display has a FHD TN display panel, a 0.5ms response time, 95% DCI-P3 color gamut, and HDR 400 support. It’s also the first “consumer-grade monitor” with a 750 Hz refresh rate.
MCON: The Switchblade of Mobile Controllers [Kickstarter]
This game controller for smartphones has a slide-out design that makes it feel like a somewhat chunky smartphone case when retracted, while giving you a full set of controls positioned below the screen when extended. It’s going for $99 during crowdfunding, which is 33% off the expected retail price of $149. It’s expected to start shipping in August.

Lilbits: Intel’s new (and upcoming) low-power chips, Lenovo’s new handhelds, and a wireless mouse dongle that’s also a tiny USB-C dock
A growing number of mini PC makers are starting to ship entry-level systems with cheap, low-power Intel N150 Twin Lake processors rather than the Intel N100 Alder Lake-N chips that have been popular for the past two years. On paper the new processor is basically what you get if you take an Intel N100 and increase the maximum CPU and GPU speeds by 200 MHz and 250 MHz, respectively. But in terms of real-world performance? So far it looks like there may not be much… at least based on some of the first benchmarks we’ve seen.
But it looks like Intel may have a true next-gen chip for inexpensive, energy-efficient computers on the way. While Alder Lake-N and Twin Lake chips are 6 to 15 watt processors with between 4 and 8 Efficiency cores, the upcoming Intel Wildcat Lake processor is expected to be a mobile chip with 2 Performance cores and 6 Low Power Efficiency cores. Rumor has it that this will eventually replace Alder Lake-N, although it could be an entry-level Core or Core Ultra chip instead.
Here’s a roundup of recent tech news from around the web.
Intel Wildcat Lake could be a next-gen chip for cheap, low-power PCs [Tom’s Hardware]
Intel WildCat Lake processor details leaked, pointing to an upcoming budget processor for low-power devices, possibly set to replace Alder Lake-N with a new 6-core chip combining 2 P-cores and 4 LPE-cores.
Not What You Think – Beelink EQ14 Review [Robtech / YouTube]
One of the first reviews of a mini PC with an Intel N150 processor shows a slight improvement in single-core CPU performance, but no noteworthy increase in multi-core or GPU performance. Keep in mind that there are dozens (maybe hundreds) of mini PCs with N100 chips though, and so far only a few models with N150 processors. So it’s possible that we could see better performance on some models in the future as more models hit the streets. But it seems safe to say that you shouldn’t expect any MAJOR improvements from what is, at most, a minor spec bump.
Wireless mouse receiver is a mini dock with HDMI output and USB Type-C [Tom’s Hardware]
This wireless mouse comes with a wireless transmitter that plugs into a USB-C port. Nothing strange there. But the transmitter is ALSO a tiny dock with an HDMI port and another USB-C port so you don’t lose one when using the dongle.
Valve will be Lenovo’s ‘special guest’ at just-announced gaming handheld event [The Verge]
Following several recent leaks suggesting that new handheld gaming PCs are on the way, including at least one that could run Valve’s Linux-based SteamOS rather than Windows, Lenovo and Valve has pretty much confirmed that they’re working together on something.
The companies have been emailing tech journalists about a January 7th event that will be a “cocktail reception hosted by Lenovo Legion and AMD gaming leaders, with special guests Valve and other gaming industry giants,” where the company will be showing off “our latest Lenovo Legion Go innovations advanced by AMD.”
Interestingly, Microsoft Xbox division will also be represented at the event. While some Lenovo handhelds are still expected to run Windows, I’m guessing this is more about support for streaming games to Lenovo handhelds rather than the operating system itself.
Toybrick TB-RK3576D is a single-board PC with a Rockchip RK3576 quad-core processor, a 6 TOPS NPU, up to 8GB RAM, dual Gigabit Ethernet ports and an M.2 PCIe 2.0 slot.

Lilbits: More Pixel 9a details leaked, playing PS3 games on ARM PCs, and more
Google’s mid-range phones have earned a solid reputation as decent devices that offer many of the same features as the company’s flagships at lower price points. And the latest leaks suggest the Pixel 9a will be continue that tradition.
But with an expected starting price of $499 (which, to be fair, is the same as the list price for the Pixel 8a), I can’t help but wonder if this strategy makes sense for Google anymore. The company now offers 7 years of OS and security updates for its older phones, so why buy a Pixel 9a for $499 when you could have picked up a Pixel 8 for $449 on Black Friday and still get 6 major OS updates? Maybe Google should take a page out of Apple’s book moving forward and, instead of offering cheaper current-gen phones, just give older models a price cut after a year or two and keep selling them.
Here’s a roundup of recent tech news from around the web.
Google Pixel 9a Specs leaked [Android Headlines]
Google’s upcoming Pixel 9a is said to be a $499 phone with a Tensor G4 processor, 8GB RAM, 128GB (or 256GB) storage, a 6.3 inch display, 48MP primary camera and 13MP ultrawide and 5100 mAh battery.

PS3 emulator RPCS3 adds support for ARM64 architecture, now runs natively on Windows, Mac, and Linux devices including Macs with M1 or newer chips, Windows PCs, and even a Raspberry Pi 5 (at 272p resolution on models with 8GB of RAM).
Sharing files between your iPhone and Windows PC rolling out to Windows Insiders [Microsoft]
Microsoft is rolling out support for sharing files between an iPhone and PC. It’s coming first to Windows Insiders using the latest version of the Phone Link app, but could roll out more widely in the future.
MicrosoftThis is a new processor with some older, but not particularly bad, components including two ARM Cortex-A76 CPU cores and six Cortex-A55 cores. It also has a single E902 RISC-V real-time core, Imagination BXM-4-64 MC1 graphics, and optional support for a 3 TOPS NPU. It supports up to 16GB of RAM and will likely be used in mid-range Android tablets.
SiFive HiFive Premiere P550 RISC-V dev board can now run Ubuntu 24.04 LTS [Canonical]
The HiFive Premiere P550 features an ESWIN EIC77700X processor, up to 32GB of LPDDR5 memory, a PCIe 3.0 x16 expansion slot, a SATA 3 connector, and plenty of other odds and ends. It first started shipping in limited quantities in October.

Google announced two years ago that it was killing its short-lived Stadia game streaming service. and while the company was refunding customers who’d purchased games and hardware, folks who’d purchased the Stadia Controller weren’t thrilled that Google’s original plans would have led to the device becoming useless once the servers shut down.
Fortunately Google later released a tool that would let users convert the Stadia Controller into a Bluetooth game controller that could be used with other devices. And while the tool was only supposed to be around for a year, Google later extended its lifespan… and now the company has quietly done it again. So if you’ve got a Stadia Controller lying around, or find one in a garage sale, you’ve got at least until the end of 2025 to turn it into a Bluetooth controller.

After announcing earlier this year that it would discontinue all support for the Car Thing, the company has indeed begun to shut down its servers, and users are seeing messages letting them know that their devices will no longer work.
There is an active community of hardware hackers that have found ways to repurpose the CarThing for use as a DeskThing or for other purposes. But there’s no particularly easy way to get it to serve its original purpose… at least not yet.

Lilbits: Intel CEO’s sudden resignation, a cheaper Flipper Zero, and the Pixel Tablet 2 that could have been
Google’s cancelled Pixel 2 Tablet may never see the light of day, but it was far enough along in the development process that a new leak suggests it would have been… a pretty unsurprising update.
One thing that was surprising today was the speed with which Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger announced not only that he was stepping down… but that his resignation was effective immediately and that Intel had already selected two executives to serve as interim co-CEOs while searching for a permanent replacement. Given the year Intel has had, it’s not shocking that Gelsinger is leaving though. I just didn’t expect it to happen this quickly.

Build your own hacking multi-tool from a $55 LILYGO T-Embed CC1101 or similar hardwareThe Flipper Zero multi-tool is a versatile gadget for controlling (and hacking) wireless devices. But at $169 it’s not exactly an impulse buy. This project shows how to get much of the same functionality from devices with an ESP32 processor like the LILYGO T-Embed CC1101, which sells for around $55.

Samsung’s DeX software that lets you use select phones and tablets like desktop computers isn’t going anywhere… but you’ll need to connect directly to a display, mouse, and/or keyboard. The Windows app that launched in 2019, which lets you plug select Samsung phones into a PC and open a desktop environment as if it were a Windows app will no longer be supported. Samsung says you can get some of the functionality using Microsoft’s Phone Link app though.
