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 […]

Walmart’s new budget Android tablets range from $97 to $288

Walmart has been selling low-cost Android tablets under the Onn brand for years, and this month the company launched six new models with prices ranging from $97 to $288.

Unsurprisingly, the entry-level model isn’t much to write home about. But at a time when gadgets are generally getting more expensive (thanks to Ramageddon), it’s nice to see any new hardware in this category priced under […]

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/

I hear this device comes highly recommended.

To see this is such a shame.

The best deal in Google TV might be getting a price hike

Schweizer AKW: Wer hat den Nutzen, wer das Risiko?
 
Am vergangenen Mittwoch informierte der BUND Ortenau in Kooperation mit dem Offenburger Netzwerk für Nachhaltigkeit (ONN) über den Zustand der Atomkraftwerke in der Schweiz und die damit verbundenen Risiken. Die Schweiz betreibt nahe der deutschen Grenze vier Atomkraftwerke, die schon 41 bis 56 Jahre in Betrieb sind. Die vier Anlagen sind von aktuellen Sicherheitsstandards weit entfernt. Keiner der Reaktoren würde heute noch eine Genehmigung bekommen. Anders als beim inzwischen stillgelegten AKW Fessenheim fehlt im Falle der Schweizer Altreaktoren bisher jedoch das Bewusstsein für die Gefahr, die von ihnen ausgeht – insbesondere für Baden-Württemberg.
 
Das wird bei den Besuchern der Veranstaltung nun definitiv anders sein. Armin Simon, Referent für Atompolitik und Reaktor-Risiken bei .ausgestrahlt, stellte die aktuelle Studie des Trinationalen Atomschutzverbands (TRAS) vor, welche die Auswirkungen eines schweren Atomunfalls in der Schweiz auf Deutschland untersucht. Dabei wurde klar, dass je nach vorherrschender Windrichtung und Größe des Schadens auch extreme radioaktive Belastungen für den ganzen Oberrheingraben zu befürchten sind – bis hin zu einer langfristigen Verseuchung, die das Leben und die landwirtschaftliche Nutzung hier auf Jahrzehnte unmöglich machen könnten.
 
Die intensive „radioaktive Fahne“ könnte sich sogar bis Stuttgart oder darüber hinaus ziehen.
Ein wirksamer Schutz der Bevölkerung hierzulande ist kaum möglich. Die Verteilung von Jodtabletten, die erst noch von Zentrallagern in die jeweilige Region transportiert werden müssten, dürfte zeitlich kaum zu schaffen sein. Notfallpläne zu einer großräumigen Evakuierung von Hunderttausenden Menschen existieren nicht.
 
Nach einer lebhaften Diskussion waren sich Referent, Veranstalter und Besucher einig, dass die neue Landesregierung in Baden-Württemberg, mit Unterstützung möglichst vieler Bürger und Kommunen, einen verbindlichen Ausstiegsplan für die alten Atomkraftwerke der Schweiz einfordern sollte.

this fake vox-pop from The Onion is 25 years old, but it shows that the USA are sticking to the course. Also, maybe, just maybe, the current president isn't such an outlier as ppl would like to think

One issue I've noticed with my #ONN brand monitor from #Walmart, despite it being HDR capable and 180hz, is that the pixel response time is visibly bad with the color black. Everything else looks fine, and even white on black looks ok, but any time there's black on a lighter background I can literally watch the pixels fade out in real time with my unaided eyes.

C'est de droite la réforme de l'assurance chômage Mme Tondelier ? Ah bon ?

En fait oui, vous avez raison, c'est de droite et ça vient au départ de vos amis "socialistes" https://www.lepoint.fr/politique/dissensions-avec-hollande-sur-l-assurance-chomage-de-la-blague-assure-valls-09-10-2014-1870808_20.php

@marinetondelier Un peu comme votre condamnation d'Israël Mme Tondelier ... C'est très très très tardif... et surtout aucune excuse de votre part sur vos condamnations de LFI qui avait eu raison dès le 7 octobre... L'histoire n'oublie rien, vos petites envolées lyriques du moment n'y changeront rien.

Aaaand another streaming device is retired.

This one was a surprise actually, since it’s actually a REALLY good unit. But its little brother the Onn 4K Plus, at $20 cheaper, is just a bit faster and better. I might Lazarus the Pro elsewhere in this house at some point in the future, but for now it goes into the device morgue. #onn #streaming #device #streamingbox #walmart #netflix #kodi #primevideo #crunchyroll #appletv #hulu #disneyplus #plex

Finally figured out how to lock SDR mode only, on the #Onn 4K Plus. Each time I tried to set it up via the normal method, apps like Plex would just quit out when I started them because they were still trying to change to HDR mode but the Onn wasn’t allowing it. I had to force a resolution (not auto-res) then got the option to choose YCbCr 4:4:4 8-bit, did that, THEN went back to auto-res.

I had to insert the digital index finger BEFORE the thumb, in other words.

But we got there. 👌

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 […]

Que faire maintenant ? Assoun, Portes, Jojo, Lordon, Besançenot, Kouvélakis, Bentounsi, Sibony, Bouteldja, Aoussat, ...

On se souvient du vol des résultats des législatives... et cela nous permet aussi de nous souvenir de la non censure du PS qui laisse tranquillement Macron et ses ministres d'extrême centre / extrême droite dérouler leurs politiques antisociales, racistes et anti-écologistes.

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 […]

Bought a #UGOOS UR02 #remote for no particular reason to control my #Onn 4K pro box. Here it is next to the original remote. Verrrry similar, both feel amazing in the hand - FAR better than the #AppleTV remote. Some diff buttons. Light grey ones are IR programmable. Everything else can be reprogrammed with #ButtonMapper or #tvQuickActions Pro. Got it for just over a buck from #AliExpress as it was a first-time purchaser deal. Could have gotten any of a billion other things. Oh well.

I'm not having much #luck with my #AndroidTV boxes. One Nvidia died after 4½ years, the replacement after 2½ years. Got an #Onn #GoogleTV box after that, and today, after nine months, it's gone into a boot loop. Or more properly, a home screen loop.

When the box is about to get to the home screen, you see gray boxes and rectangles where pictures and text will appear, then the pictures and text do appear, then the screen blanks out for a second, then it goes back to gray boxes as the loop continues. (Tried to upload a clip, but that failed twice.)

What #MediaPlayer should I buy next, expecting it to last five months? #StreamingBox

I am #annoyed. I originally bought an #NvidiaShield #streaming box in December 2017. Used it for years until one day I was deleting a film I'd just watched from the USB stick it was on when the power went out. Electricity came back on in a few minutes, but the #Shield never did.

Okay: freak accident. So I bought another one in June 2022. And last night it went insane. It will start and get to the homepage, but whatever button I touch, the screen just flashes. If I manage to open an app, it will crash in a second or two. Tried the box again today, and it's the same. It's not even stable enough to try a factory reset.

Now I have to find another #MediaPlayer. After one Shield lasting 4½ years and the next only 2½, it's off the list.

I mostly watch #YouTube #ReVanced on #TV, and that requires a touchpad to use easily, so I have a couple of iPazzPort keyboard remotes. Does the #Onn use a bluetooth remote? Walmart says nothing, but Android Police says yes. So I guess I'm watching stuff on my tablet for a week, then grabbing a #streamer on Black Friday.

OK, I've had this #Onn #keyboard for a year or more, and I *finally* figured out how to control (in my case turn off) the lights on the damn thing! For anyone else who, like me, has the Onn keyboard with the 4 keys to the right of the space bar, and would like to disable those lights, here's what you do.
The second key to the right of the space bar is the FN key (not sure what the print on it says, but that's basically what it does.) Press that plus the pause key, the right-hand key in the group of 3 just to the right of the f12 key. You can press that combination to cycle through lighting modes--including the beautiful off setting.

Yesterday the #GoogleTV Streamer I ordered was finally delivered. I would say it is worth the upgrade from the #Chromecast just for the better SOC and increased storage. I like the hardware design and improved remote too. However, if I didn't have $90 of Google Store credit left I would have bought the #Onn 4K Pro instead as I think it's a better value.

Woot have the #FireTv Cube gen 3 refurbed for $75. Normally over $100. As a streaming nerd I was tempted, but the #Onn 4K Pro box is just so freaking good AND it’s $25 cheaper. Slower CPU but who cares? You use the interface like 5% of the time. I just wish the Onn was smaller. It doesn’t need to have a main unit the size of a double decker sandwich. Cube has upscaling (so does my TV) but that’s apparently nowhere near as good as the #nVidia #Shield’s.

May buy another Onn this week actually.

A minor but still cool thing about the #Onn 4K Pro box is the amount of onboard RAM it has. For example I use KODi a lot but also watch stuff on other apps like YouTubeTV or Prime Video. On the #FireStick I’m used to flipping between them and having to wait a few seconds as each inits (because it exited running as other apps started). This morning, started the TV and ran KODi and it instantly started. Still in the b/g. Hadn’t exited since the last run. That’s nice. It’s the little things.

After reading the hype, I bought an #Onn 4K Pro #streaming box from #Walmart yesterday and hooked it up. Just like the #GoogleTV interface a lot more than the #Firestick one. It has the Google Assistant built into the box itself (ie the streaming unit is a mic as well as a speaker) and the remote is backlit, has a "find" feature and is generally comfortable to hold. I really like it. But I'm going to firesale (see what I did there?) some of my older firesticks now. Finally.
