Is an Intel N100 or N150 a better value than a Raspberry Pi?

tl;dr: it depends. About one year ago, I bought an Intel N100 mini PC (specifically the GMKtec N100 NucBox G3) and compared it to the Raspberry Pi 5 8GB. A year later, and we have a newer $159 16GB version of that mini PC with a slightly-faster Intel N150, and a new 16GB Raspberry Pi 5. I re-ran all my benchmarks, and this time compared like-for-like, installing Linux on the Mini PC. Many people argued comparing the OOTB experience running Windows 11 Pro (which came on the Tiny PC) to Raspber

Is the Nothing Phone 3 worth it? Survey reveals surprising consumer sentiment

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority After spending a few years setting itself up, Nothing boldly launched the Nothing Phone 3 as its top-tier flagship this week. Coming in at $799, it takes on the proper flagships from Samsung, Google, Apple, and others. While one can argue that it comes out on top against these three, Chinese competitors like OnePlus can give it a run for its money with the OnePlus 13. We asked you if you thought the Nothing Phone 3 was value for money at $799, and it seems a v

The Morning After: Big, Beautiful Fallout

The so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill” has passed with plenty of nasty treats for the US technology and manufacturing industries. As well as swinging the sword at basic environmental protection measures, the bill sticks its thumb in the eye of the EV industry. Tim Stevens takes you on a tour of the most salient changes, like the imminent end of the EV tax credit. Joining that on the bonfire is the used EV incentive, as well as the rebates for the purchase of commercial EVs. Similarly, for all of t

I tried the controversial Android phone that's got the internet buzzing - and left impressed

Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET Nothing's new flagship phone is its most expensive and risky product yet. At $799, the Nothing Phone 3 no longer undercuts its midrange competitors. Instead, the handset takes on the likes of the iPhone Pro, Pixel Pro, and Galaxy S phones of the world with a striking design, functional AI features, and fine software tuning. Also: I tested Nothing's first over-ear headphones, and they made my AirPods Max look boring And it does so while sacrificing its most iconic feature,

The Rise of Whatever

This was originally titled “I miss when computers were fun”. But in the course of writing it, I discovered that there is a reason computers became less fun, a dark thread woven through a number of events in recent history. Let me back up a bit. Back in the 00’s, if you wanted to move money between arbitrary people over the Internet, you realistically had one option: PayPal. Either that, or live in some futuristic utopia like the EU where banks consider "send money to people" to be core functi

I'm Still Obsessed With This Cult Conspiracy Thriller and Now It's on Netflix

Every once in a while, a TV show comes out of nowhere and changes the very fabric of the medium. Off the top of my head, I can think of five: Twin Peaks, Lost, The Sopranos, Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad. After Vince Gilligan's hit drug drama ended in 2013, I wondered what series would capture the cultural zeitgeist next. The answer came in the form of an edgy show about the internet, of all things. It starred a relatively unknown character actor as a flawed, neurodivergent hacker genius who

I Loved Using This Keyboard, but There Was One Thing I Just Couldn't Get Used To

Gaming keyboards are everywhere these days, and with a plethora of options available it's not hard to find a good one. They can also be expensive, so it can be difficult to know if the investment is worth the money. It's with that in mind I got in the new the new Vulcan II Mini Air from Turtle Beach. I have some thoughts. Turtle Beach bought the company behind these keyboards, Roccat, several years ago, but it only started phasing out that branding in May of 2024. So you might still find the Ro

Shark says it can run 30 minutes with the mister consistently on or 60 minutes with it in (interval mode?), and after testing it at my son’s soccer practices, I was impressed that these estimates were more or less acc

Viral band finds itself at the centre of AI claims and hoaxes

Viral band finds itself at the centre of AI claims and hoaxes A band called The Velvet Sundown has had its tracks played hundreds of thousands of times on Spotify since appearing several weeks ago - without anyone knowing for sure what it is.

Microsoft layoffs hit 830 workers in home state of Washington

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella speaks at the Axel Springer building in Berlin on Oct. 17, 2023. He received the annual Axel Springer Award. Among the thousands of Microsoft employees who lost their jobs in the cutbacks announced this week were 830 staffers in the company's home state of Washington.

Leaks hint at Operator-like tool in ChatGPT ahead of GPT-5 launch

A few new code references in the ChatGPT web app and Android point to an Operator-like tool in GPT's chain of thoughts. As spotted by Tibor on X, the Android beta has strings like “click,” “drag,” “type,” and even “terminal feed,” which seem to suggest that ChatGPT could soon call a remote browser or sandboxed environment (Operator?). For those unaware, OpenAI already has Operator, which uses an AI agent to navigate a remote browser session and execute tasks for you. These references suggest

Who's ready to experience Sinners at home? The original film, penned by Ryan Coogler, is coming to Max and is worth the watch -- or 99th rewatch. Rich in blues music, culture, metaphors and Southern gothic vibes, the vampire flick stars Michael B.

But they encounter a supernatural malevolence unlike anything they've ever known, and it's threatening to break, take and destroy. The

The White House’s favorite source of pro-Trump news is … the White House’s YouTube channel

The most frequently curated content on the White House Wire, the Trump administration’s attempt to aggregate pro-Trump “real news” from across the right-wing media, doesn’t come from Truth Social, Breitbart, or even Fox News. It comes from YouTube — notably, from the White House’s own channel. The White House Wire was launched at the end of April on the official WH.gov page, around the time that the Trump comms team began ramping up its war on the mainstream journalists and outlets who covered

One UI 8 will let you add a Dynamic Effect to photos, but what’s the point?

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR One UI 8 will seemingly bring a new “Dynamic Effect” feature in the Samsung Gallery app. Similar to Live Effect, the feature transforms a still image into a short animated clip. However, you can also manually control the animated image. One UI 8 is inching closer to a stable release. A new, stable internal build has reportedly landed for the software, and tipster Ice Universe has discovered a new feature called Dynamic Effect in the Samsung Gallery app. Th
