  1. Sigo insistindo na ideia de subir um servidorzinho doméstico, mas está difícil, hein?

    O preço dos pentes de memória beira o surreal, acho que nunca vi memória RAM tão cara assim. Os vendedores da #AliExpress já se adaptaram: retomaram a moda dos barebones e estão tentando empurrar tudo sem SSD e sem pentes instalados.

    Equipei um mini-PC da #Beelink com 64 GB de RAM num passado não muito distante, mas não consigo repetir o feito, pelo visto. Estava pensando num mini-PC com boas capacidades de armzenamento, como a linha WTR da #Aoostar, mas além da possibilidade de um imposto salgado no desembaraço (afinal, é pecado tributar renda corretamente no Brasil), com os preços praticados, instalar RAM e SSD pode custar mais da metade do preço do computador.

    Sério... impraticável.

  3. AOOSTAR G-Flip now available with Ryzen 7 H 255 for $339 and up (Mini PC with flip-up display)

    The AOOSTAR G-Flip is an unusual mini PC that has a 5 inch touchscreen display on the lid, which can flip upward so it’s visible from the front.

  8. AOOSTAR NEX 395 mini PC with AMD Strix Halo is coming soon

    This summer AOOSTAR announced it was working on a mini PC with an AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 Strix Halo processor and a design that honestly makes the system look more like a router or appliance than a PC.

    Now the AOOSTAR NEX 395 is available for purchase in China for around $2,120. According to an update on the AOOSTAR website, the NEX 395 should be available globally soon, although it’s unclear […]

  17. Lilbits: Install Google Play on Amazon Fire tablets, postmarketOS update, and a new color ePaper display kit

    This week a lot of folks have been unwrapping Amazon Fire tablets, setting them up… and figuring out that some of the apps and games you want to run on them aren’t available out of the box.

    Fortunately there are a bunch of ways to make an Amazon tablet more useful. You can sideload applications that aren’t available in the Amazon Appstore. Or you can even install the Google Play Store and add a custom launcher application to make an Amazon tablet feel more like a standard Android tablet… even though it’s running Amazon’s fork of Android called FireOS.

    In today’s tech news roundup, I’ve got links to some of the articles we’ve published over the past few years that describe how to hack an Amazon Fire tablet. And in more recent tech news, the latest release of the postmarketOS mobile Linux distribution brings camera support to some phones that originally shipped with Android, AOOSTAR has a new mini PC with discrete graphics, JSAUX has a new dock for handheld gaming PCs that includes built-in cooling fans, and there’s a new Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W-powered color E Ink display kit.

    Amazon Fire Tablet hacking roundup

    Amazon’s Fire line of tablets are some of the cheapest Android-based tablets that are worth buying. The Fire HD 8, Fire HD 10, and Fire Max 11 have decent displays, affordable price tags, reasonably good battery life, and performance that’s more than good enough for reading eBooks, streaming videos, surfing the web, or even light gaming.

    But while the tablets run an operating system that’s based on Android, Amazon’s FireOS is different in a few important ways. It has a custom user interface designed by Amazon that puts the company’s apps and services front and center. And it ships with the Amazon Appstore instead of the Google Play Store. Not only are fewer apps and games available in Amazon’s store, but if you already paid for an app or service on your Android phone, you’d have to pay again to get it from Amazon… unless you install the Google Play Store yourself. Because an open secret about Amazon’s tablets is that it’s possible to install Google’s app store on them. Keep in mind that there might be some compatibility issues – not all apps distributed in the Play Store will work perfectly on Amazon tablets. But many will.

    Here’s a roundup of some of Liliputing’s guides to making Amazon Fire tablets more useful:

    Inky Frame 7.3″ is a 7-color ePaper display powered by a Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W [ CNX Software]

    Available now for about $94, this kit features a 7.3 inch, 7-color E Ink display with a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels, a Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W, microSD card reader, and battery connector.

    v24.12: The One With Androids & Cameras, But It’s Mainline Linux [postmarketOS]

    PostmarketOS 24.12 is a mobile OS with a mainline Linux kernel. It brings initial support for using cameras on some phones (Pixel 3A, Fairphone 5, and Pocophone F1), UI updates, an updated wallpaper, and other improvements.

    This $60 docking station is designed for handheld gaming PCs. Sit your handheld in the cradle and use a USB-C connector to add Ethernet, HDMI, and more USB ports… as well as two cooling fans that help keep the PC from overheating while docked.

    AOOSTAR GODX is a mini ITX mini PC with Ryzen 9 6900HX and Radeon RX 6600LE [AOOSTAR]

    While the hardware is a few generations old at this point, it’s still a lot of power for a compact PC, including discrete graphics and support for up to three 4K/120 Hz displays. Available now for $529 and up, the system also supports up to 64GB of DDR5-4800 dual-channel memory, and two M.2 2280 slots for PCIe 4.0 storage. It has two 2.5 GbE LAN ports as well as USB4, USB 3.2 Type-A, DisplayPort, and HDMI ports, and it measures 200 x 193 x 80mm. Update: The AOOSTAR GODX is available from AliExpress for $503 and up

  19. AOOSTAR AG02 is an open air external graphics dock with a 500 watt power supply

    Earlier this year AOOSTAR launched the AG01 external graphics dock that allowed you to connect a desktop graphics card to any laptop, mini PC, or handheld with a 64 Gbps OCuLink connector.

    Now the company has replaced the AG01 with a new model called the AOOSTAR AG02. It’s up for pre-order for $219 and expected to ship in mid-January. There are two significant differences between the new model and the original that should make it a more versatile eGPU dock.

    The first is that the dock now has a 500 watt power supply built in, enabling support for desktop graphics cards with a TGP of up to 350 watts. The AG01 had a 400 watt power supply and was only compatible with cards up to 250 watts.

    The second difference is that AOOSTAR has added a USB4 port. So while you’ll still get the best performance if you use an OCuLink connector with support for data transfer speeds up to 64 Gbps, you can also use a USB4 port to connect devices that may not have an OCuLink port. The USB4 port also supports 100 watt USB power delivery, allowing you to send power to a connected device.

    AOOSTAR also replaced the “silver metal” chassis of the AG01 with a new “gray metal” case for the AG02 model.

    Otherwise, the physical design is pretty similar. This is still a 225 x 110 x 60mm (8.9″ x 4.3″ x 2.4″) box with an exposed PCIe 4.0 x16 connector on the top, allowing you to plug a desktop graphics card directly into the top of the dock. Since the GPU isn’t enclosed by a case, there’s no need for additional cooling fans or any other hardware, but that also means that there’s nothing to block the sound made from the graphics card’s fans so noise levels will likely vary depending on the card you use.

    While the new dock should work with higher-power graphics cards than the original, AOOSTAR doesn’t recommend using anything with higher performance than an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070S or AMD Radeon RX 7700XT, as the the bottleneck at that point would be the data throughput rather than the graphics card.
