Another mini-laptop for distraction-free writing, Fedora Asahi Remix 45 released, and Microsoft improves Windows 11 performance for PCs with 8GB: Liliputing News Roundup
With the RAM shortage driving up prices for memory, Microsoft has announced steps taken to make Windows 11 run better on PCs with 8GB of RAM, and now says the OS is 20% more responsive and multitasking is 40% faster. blogs.windows.com/windowsexper • The enough phone is a smartphone with a 5.3 inch screen, a MTK 7500 chip, 8GB RAM, 128GB storage, a single camera, Android or a minimal "Pydssey OS" experience, and a replaceable 3500 mAh battery • The latest Micro Journal open source, distraction-free writing device from Un Kyu Lee is the Rev.2.1.mini with a mechanical keyboard, ultrawide display, Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W for brains, and Linux OS. github.com/unkyulee/mic... &

1/Toolkit: Raspberry Pi. Eben Upton and colleagues in Cambridge, UK, created it to get more young people into computing. The first board shipped in 2012 for $35. Over 77 million have been sold, making it the best-selling British computer ever. #MyToolkit #RaspberryPi #OpenHardware

3/A fun fact about the Pico 2: its RP2350 chip includes Hazard3, an open source RISC-V CPU core designed by Raspberry Pi engineer Luke Wren in his spare time. Anyone can download it and test it on an FPGA. The chip also has Arm cores, so it isn’t fully open. #OpenHardware #RISCV

⚙️🛠️ Tech Tuesday! 🛠️⚙️

Today, we're talking about one of the less glamorous pieces of engineering — technical specs & documentation.

This matters in open-source projects because it bridges the gap between ideas, contributors, and end-users.

The OpenFlexure project is an open-source initiative focused on development of 3D printed, laboratory-grade digital microscopes and positioning stages, making high-quality microscopy accessible to all.

openflexure.org/
International collaboration between engineers and scientists who work with the OpenFlexure microscope shown as a comic happening inside of the Open Hardware logo, a cog that opens slightly at the bottom to the shape of a keyhole. In each panel is a pair of people busy at their desks. One from each pair crosses the panel boundaries to pass a tool to the next person. Others are constructing their microscopes or doing research using them. A git flow diagram runs along the cog, nestling in its teeth. Behind the cog is a colorful mess of curling cables, overlapping tools, roots, and splashes of water, referencing what the included scientists are working on which involved the microscope.

Project Showcase PUMA Microscópio de código aberto impresso em 3D O PUMA é um projeto de sucesso, publicado oficialmente no Journal of Microscopy. Foi desenvolvido para observação direta de imagens (a olho nu), e mesmo sendo portátil, oferece opções avançadas de aquisição de imagens, medições e controle por computador. PUMA é um acrônimo para: [P]ortátil, [U]pgradeable (Expansível, Atualizavel), [M]odular, [A]cessível. • Portátil: Totalmente portátil, compacto e leve. Não requer computador, smartphone, câmera ou monitor externo para funcionar. • ”Upgradable” (Expansível) e Modular: Pode ser usado como um microscópio monocular de alta qualidade, com espelho ajustável para iluminação, ou expandida para um sistema trinocular com iluminação de Köhler e unidade de realidade aumentada com HUD (visor de informações) para o computador integrado • Acessível Open Source: Todos os componentes e informações do projeto são de código aberto, sem restrições por patentes ou pagamentos. Pode ser construído com impressão 3D e componentes e acessórios disponíveis comercialmente.

LIFeling can be connected to external hardware delivering positive or negative current, allowing it to be stimulated much like a neuron in an electrophysiology experiment while its membrane potential is observed directly.
