Vaonis Hestia ZDNET's key takeaways The Vaonis Hestia is a smartphone telescope device that retails for $300.

It is an expensive device that takes some getting used to, and the better smartphone camera you have, the better quality photos you will get. $299 at B&H Photo-Video Amidst all the doomscrolling, TV binging, and overworking, we've forgotten to look up at the sky every once

AMD claims Arm ISA doesn't offer efficiency advantage over x86

Even if it's possible today, there's really no reason to make x86 for phones because the cost for development is too high and there's stiff competition..
