Following the recent launch of the Arduino Ventuno Q, Toradex has introduced the Aquila IQ8, its first Qualcomm Dragonwing-based System on Module.

ermany lost the Second World War 81 years ago. Then, the Soviet Empire grew a bit. NATO was created. The Cold War soon began.

The Price of Envy

still remember when this site was new more than 2 decades ago. In the summer of 2004 I think I was in London for a sort of “summer school” focused on computer vision. I’d log in to check AWStat after ‘classes’ (lectures rather) and be happy if this site got like 100 visitors in a day whilst I was away from home. To me, 100 people were already a good accomplishment and back then bots were easier to tell apart, hence estimating the number of daily visitors (real human visitors) was feasible.
