Lilbits: Clicks Communicator, another use for the Anbernic RG Rotate, and two tiny operating systems

The Clicks Communicator is a modern smartphone that borrows some ideas from classic BlackBerry phones. Made by the same folks behind the Clicks keyboard cases for existing phones, the company’s first full-fledged phone has a square screen, a QWERTY keyboard, and a customized Android interface.

Clicks began taking pre-orders for the Communicator at the start of the year, and plans to begin […]

Lilbits: Lenovo’s new gaming phone & tablets, Walmart’s new media streamers, and Microsoft Surface price hikes

Two bits of Microsoft Surface news broke this week. The company is discontinuing its large-screen Surface Hub products. And Microsoft is raising prices across the board for its current line of Surface laptops and tablets. That’s… not particularly surprising. Given the impact of rising RAM & storage costs, soon it’s going to be more newsworthy when companies don’t raise prices than when they […]

Walmart’s $30 Onn 4K Streaming Stick shows unexpectedly in at least one store

Walmart makes some of the cheapest Google TV media streamers worth buying, including the $20 Onn FHD Streaming Stick. But up until now, if you’ve wanted a 4K-ready model, you’ve had to opt for a “box” shaped model like the $25 Onn 4K media streaming box, $40 Onn 4K Plus box, and $45 Onn 4K Pro.

Now Walmart is preparing to launch its first Onn 4K media streamer that comes as a stick that plugs […]

The first Onn TV Stick with support for 4K video is on the way. These line drawings show a stick that's said to have a 1.7 GHz quad-core Realtek RTD1325 processor with Mai-G57 graphics, 2GB of RAM, and 8GB of storage. https://www.aftvnews.com/this-new-leak-looks-to-be-walmarts-first-onn-4k-streaming-stick/ #onn #Walmart #Onn4KStick #MediaStreamer #TVStick #GoogleTV

Lilbits: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide, Razer Blade 16, and more fallout from Chuwi’s processor mixup

Two recent laptops from Chinese PC maker Chuwi that were supposed to ship with AMD Ryzen 5 7430U processors actually had Ryzen 5 5500U chips inside. That means instead of getting a processor with a Zen 3 CPU, customers were getting notebooks with chips featuring AMD’s older Zen 2 architecture.

But the only way to prove this was to actually open up the computer and remove the CPU cooler to look […]

Leaked images suggest the 2nd-gen Onn 4K Pro media streamer will be an oval-shaped device (kind of like the Google TV Streamer) with Ethernet, HDMI, and USB ports and built-in mics. https://www.aftvnews.com/new-images-of-the-2nd-gen-onn-4k-pro-leak-out-with-a-clear-view-of-the-ports/ #Onn4KPro #Onn #MediaStreamer #GoogleTV

Walmart's dirt cheap Google TV media streamers are a little less cheap now that prices have been raised by $5 to $10. But the Onn HD Stick, Onn 4K Box, and Onn 4K Plus are still *pretty* cheap at $20, $25, and $40, respectively. #Onn #OnnHDStick #Onn4K #Onn4KPlus #MediaStreamer #GoogleTV https://www.aftvnews.com/walmart-raises-its-onn-streaming-device-prices-by-5-10/

Päivän diili: Chromecastin seuraaja, Google TV Streamer 4K nyt halvemmalla kuin koskaan aiemmin

Lilbits: AYN Odin 3 is coming, TrueNAS ported to ARM (unofficially), and International packages valued under $800 no longer exempt from US tariffs

The “de minimis” exemption that allowed packages worth $800 or less to be shipped duty-free to the US is officially gone. The Trump administration ended the exemption for goods shipped from China and Hong Kong earlier this year, and now it has also ended for items shipped from all other countries… at the same time that the US government has imposed tariffs ranging from 10-percent to […]

Walmart’s Onn 4K Plus is official: $30 Google TV media streaming box

For the past few years one of the cheapest 4K-ready media streaming boxes you could buy has been Walmart’s $20 Onn 4K. The company also offers a $50 model called the Onn 4K Pro that has more memory and storage, a faster USB port, and an Ethernet jack.

Now Walmart has introduced a mid-range version that sells for $30. The new Onn 4K Plus actually started to show up in stores earlier this […]

Lilbits: Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders delayed due to tariffs, Onn 4K Plus Google TV Streamer coming soon

This week Nintendo announced that the follow-up to the wildly popular Nintendo Switch is coming soon. The Nintendo Switch 2 arrives in June and sells for $450. It was supposed to go up for pre-order on April 9th.

But you know what else happened this week? The Trump administration announced global tariffs affecting imports from every country around the world, with particularly steep tariffs […]

Unannounced Onn 4K Plus is an upcoming budget Google TV media streamer with an Amlogic S905X5M chip, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, a USB-C port for power, and HDMI for video out. There's WiFi 6, Dolby Vision HDR, and Dolby Atmos support. #Onn4KPlus #GoogleTV #MediaStreamer #Walmart https://www.aftvnews.com/walmart-semi-releases-its-new-onn-4k-plus-streamer-with-google-tv/

Does anyone else have the newer #Google TV Streamer device (not the Chromecast with Google TV, the newer one)? I'm having the worst time with the audio periodically dropping out when attached to my Pioneer receiver.

I did not have this issue with all of the same hardware but with the #CCWGTV instead of the streamer.

Why would anyone want a silicone case for their set top streaming box?

Do people carry their #Chromecast around a lot?

with google TV, you can cast google photos, youtube and hundreds of other apps / services from an iphone/ipad *and* android.

with an apple TV, you can only use airplay, to cast from iphone/ipad, no android support.

google TV supports both major platforms. apple tv only supports one.

"In order to expand storage and power the Streamer, you would need to use some sort of dongle that would give you an additional port."

It's called a powered USBC hub. You can also use this to plug in a webcam for video chats on the big screen, so the family can sit back and relax and not have to all huddle over a phone / tablet while doing Google meet video calls.

Lilbits: Google’s post-Chromecast media streamer

It’s been almost exactly 11 years since Google’s first-gen Chromecast began shipping. The $35 dongle was one of the smallest, cheapest device available that allowed you to stream content from Netflix, YouTube, and other sources to a TV. And it introduced a new way to do that: the original Chromecast didn’t come with a remote control and didn’t […]

The first laptops with Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon X Plus chips will be available starting June 18th.

Walmart’s new Onn 4K Pro Google TV streamer is a $50 box with an upgraded processor, memory, storage, and ports

When Walmart launched its Onn 4K media streamer in 2021, the $30 box box was one of the cheapest Android TV devices available. The company followed up a few months later with an even cheaper 1080p model, and Walmart has released several updates since then that drop prices even lower, while adding support for new features like the updated Google TV […]

Lilbits: Raspberry Pi’s new specs for add-ons, update on the MNT Pocket Reform, and GPU improvements for Google Pixel devices

The MNT Pocket Reform is the latest in a lien of open hardware products from MNT, the team that brought MNT Reform into the world a few years ago. As the name suggests, the new model is much smaller, but it still keeps the ethos of open source software and hardware and a modular, customizable design.
When MNT launched a crowdfunding campaign for the […]
