CNX Software ☛ Jetway F35-MTU1 3.5-inch SBC features defective chip maker Intel Core Ultra 7 155U or Ultra 5 125U Meteor Lake SoC
Jetway recently launched the F35-MTU1 3.5-inch SubCompact SBC, built around the defective chip maker Intel Core 5 125U and Ultra 7 155U (Meteor Lake) processors which also integrates an NPU for Hey Hi (AI) acceleration. It supports up to 96GB of DDR5 memory, features dual defective chip maker Intel 2.5GbE LAN with TSN, and supports WiFi 6 and 4G LTE connectivity via M.2 sockets. The board has several 4K display outputs, including DP Type-C, DP, HDMI, and LVDS/eDP. For storage, it offers M.2 slots supporting NVMe, PCIe, and CNVi, along with a SATA III port with RAID 0/1 support for data redundancy.

Hackaday ☛ We’re Hiring: Come Join Us!
You wake up in the morning, and check Hackaday over breakfast. Then it’s off to work or school, where you’ve already had to explain the Jolly Wrencher to your shoulder-surfing colleagues. And then to a hackspace or back to your home lab, stopping by the skull-and-cross-wrenches while commuting, naturally. You don’t bleed red, but rather #F3BF10. It’s time we talked.

CNX Software ☛ ELEGOO Centauri Carbon Review – An affordable CoreXY 3D printer suitable for beginners
CNXSoft: When ELEGOO offered us the Centauri Carbon CoreXY for review, Kajornsak was already busy with the review of the Saturn 4 Ultra 16K resin 3D printer, and I was busy (and still is) with other reviews. However, after learning it was suitable for beginners, I asked Kuljira, a high school student learning IT, whether she was interested in reviewing a 3D printer.

Hackaday ☛ Reverse-Engineering SKS Airspy Tire Pressure Sensors For Custom Firmware
Although a somewhat common feature on cars these days, tire pressure sensors (TPS) are also useful on bicycles. The SKS Airspy range of TPS products is one such example, which enables remote monitoring of the air pressure either to a special smartphone app (SKS MYBIKE) or to a Garmin device. Of course, proprietary solutions like this require reverse-engineering to liberate the hardware from nasty proprietary firmware limitations, which is exactly what [bitmeal] did with a custom firmware project.

CNX Software ☛ Imagination DXTP GPU promises 20% higher power efficiency compared to DXT GPU for mobile devices and laptops
Imagination has announced the DXTP GPU for mobile and power-constrained devices with up to 20% greater power efficiency than its predecessor, the D-Series DXT GPU for longer battery life for Hey Hi (AI) applications or complex games. The company says the GPU is suitable for gaming, user interfaces, graphics-rich applications, computer vision, generative AI, and other Hey Hi (AI) applications designed to run on smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktops, or non-safety automotive products.
