Lilbits: The trouble with lifetime subscriptions, Google puts AI everywhere, and the Trump Phone is real?

Once upon a time, Plex was a free app that was a fork of XBMC (Kodi) that you could use as a full-screen media player on a computer, or to stream media over a local network. And you can still use it for those things. But these days Plex also offers ad-supported TV & movie streaming, and subscription services that let you stream your personal media collection over the internet (so you can watch […]

Lilbits: A RISC-V router (crowdfunding), an E Ink color dev kit, and Windows 11 taskbar customization

As promised, Microsoft is bringing back the ability to reposition the Windows taskbar… although you can’t actually do it just yet unless your a member of the Windows 11 Insider Preview program running an experimental build of Windows 11. More options for customizing the Start Menu are also rolling out to Insiders.

In other recent tech news from around the web, a crowdfunding project is […]

Lilbits: Another Raspberry Pi handheld PC, encrypted RCS messaging between iOS and Android, and a foldable Logitech mouse

If I had a nickel for every time I saw a new handheld computer powered by a Raspberry Pi, I’d have… at least a few nickels. It’s an interesting idea: take a credit card-sized computer and stuff it into a compact device with a battery, touchscreen, and maybe a keyboard and you’ve got a portable Linux PC.

It’s also… a device that’s not really designed for mobile use. While Raspberry Pi […]

Lilbits: OpenAI phone, Steam Machine, and the death of Copilot for Xbox

The rising prices of memory and storage in recent months have impacted the pricing and availability of all sorts of computers and other devices. But major PC makers like Apple and Lenovo have a bit more leverage to negotiate prices than smaller players like Framework and Valve.

While Framework has been raising memory prices on an almost monthly basis, Valve has pushed back the launch of its […]

Lilbits: Pebble Time 2 smartwatch adds touchscreen app support, entry-level Pixel 11 could have less RAM than Pixel 10

Before the Apple Watch or Samsung Galaxy Watch, there was Pebble. The pioneering smartwatch brand disappeared for a while after it was acquired by Fitbit… which was later acquired by Google. But last year Pebble founder Eric Migicovsky launched a new company called Core Devices and revived the brand.

For the most part, new Pebble-branded watches are a lot like the ones that shipped a decade […]

Lilbits: Microsoft Updates… Windows Update, Valve’s new Steam Controller is almost here, and reMarkable lays off 40% of its workforce

Windows Update is one of those features that it’s easy to have a hate/hate relationship with. Sure, it’s important to install security updates, bug fixes, and performance enhancements in a timely fashion. But sometimes you don’t want to do it right now, because it takes too long for your computer to shut down or start up… if it starts up at all. It’s not unheard of for a bad update to cause […]

Lilbits: Next-gen Surface Pro & Laptop, Google’s next Pixel laptop, and goodbye Kindle for PC (kind of)

Microsoft may have just raised prices for its Surface Laptop and Surface Pro tablet, but the company is also preparing to launch new models that… will also probably be expensive. According to a new report from Windows Central, not only is Microsoft planning to use the latest Intel and Qualcomm chips, but some Surface Laptop models will also now be available with OLED displays. Oh yeah, and […]

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 […]

Lilbits: Lenovo teases a larger gaming tablet, OpenBSD ported to the Pomera DM250, Microsoft simplifies Windows Insider channels

Lenovo has been selling gaming tablets under the Lenovo Legion brand since 2022. But while the company has updated the processor and other key specs several times over the past four years, one thing that’s stayed the same is the screen size: 8.8 inches.

Now it looks like Lenovo is preparing to launch its first model with a larger screen.

Detailed specs aren’t available yet, but it also looks […]

Lilbits: Vertical tabs for Chrome, Mac OS 10 for the Nintendo Wii, and a CyberDeck Pi

The CyberDeck Pi is a DIY handheld computer that looks like something designed for a world where smartphones never existed. It’s a chunky device that probably won’t fit in your pocket. But it’s also a full-fledged computer that can run desktop GNU/Linux software thanks to its Raspberry Pi brains. And it’s made using a combination of off-the-shelf components and 3D-printed parts.

Lilbits: Intel Wildcat Lake specs leaked, Pixel 11 and Onn 4K Stick leaks, and would you buy a Bookshop.org eReader?

Intel’s Alder Lake-N and Twin Lake processors have been incredibly popular with makers of budget mini PCs, Chromebooks, and other entry-level computers. With up to eight 12th-gen Intel Efficiency CPU cores, these cheap, low-power chips brought big performance gains over Intel’s earlier Atom, Celeron, and Pentium Silver processors.

But they’re starting to show their age, which is why I’ve had […]

Lilbits: The Mac Pro reaches the end of the line

Apple is pulling the plug on the Mac Pro, more than 20 years after launching its first high-performance desktop computer with an iconic “cheese grater” design. The company has released several major updates over the years, but the last big change to the design came in 2019, and the last processor update came in 2023 when the company made the move from Intel to Apple Silicon.
