Tom’s Hardware: AI PC revolution appears dead on arrival — ‘supercycle’ for AI PCs and smartphones is a bust, analyst says. “According to a prominent analyst, Micron’s miss on Q3 earnings and guidance for the second quarter of next year might signal that the AI PC and smartphone supercycle isn’t happening.

Boing Boing: Raspberry Pi 500 is a computer in a keyboard. “Already hinted at in configuration files, the Raspberry Pi 500 is now available. The 1980s-style all-in-one, stashing the computer inside the keyboard, is the successor to the Pi 400 and includes all the current gen-model’s upgrades. Also now offered is a matching 15.6″ portable monitor.”

I'm seeking budget-friendly 30"+ monitors for desktop computing via Raspberry Pi 4 (mostly movie files) etc and a little Xbox gaming - anyone have any strong recommendations? If so, feel free to share! I don't feel like I'm up to speed on this at all. But it absolutely must *not* be a TV (don't watch TV, so don't pay for a license, and don't want to be falsely flagged up for one by buying one!) #DesktopComputers #DesktopComputing #RaspberryPi #RaspberryPi4 #Xbox #MediaCenterKodi #gaming #monitor

To those who play audio or text based #games, what do you look for in a #computer? I’m looking at #desktopComputers, and I’m unsure if I need a good dedicated #graphicsCard since most of the games I play are #audiogames or #textBasedGames. I would prefer not to buy a #gamingDesktop with a dedicated graphics card since that drives the price up a few hundred dollars.

Some good tips here. Unfortunately, part of the problem is that #Windows and #Apple engage in #PlannedObsolescence by not supporting older computers' #OS. That's where #Linux can help...!
