Just a repository for new hardware events and I recommend you keep track of the Raspberry Pi and Arduino platforms as I believe these will increasingly be used in embedded/robotics Rapid Application Development (RAD) and innovation. On a more immediate personal level you will find one student’s CISS 100 Final Project in the Final Projects section of this Website where they created a home media server using a Raspberry Pi.
Apple’s M1 Chip
Apple’s new M1 chip which was developed from a mobile (phone) chip draws far less power (~1/3) and in certain areas like video editing is out performing similarly costing Intel chips.
Now why did Apple develop the M1 chip? => User experience so that Macs would have similar performance (i.e. instant on, battery life, lower power requirement and running IOS apps natively on Macs).
