Выход в интернет с ПК на i486DX4 в 2026 году

Приветствую всех!

Думаю, всем нам известно: ещё каких-то лет десять назад "компьютером для интернета" назывался очень бюджетный офисный ПК, тогда как теперь потребление ресурсов возросло настолько, что порой современный веб - чуть ли единственное, с чем не справляется тот или иной девайс.

А как насчёт чего-то совсем старого? Можно ли выйти в сеть с компьютера тридцатилетней давности и остались ли ещё какие-то сайты, которые можно полноценно просматривать с такого ПК? Сейчас и узнаем...

3D printed breadboards optimized for Raspberry Pi Pico and ESP32 boards

We’ve seen people try to make MCU development boards as breadboard-friendly as possible by leaving plenty of space to connect wires and components. lhm0 tackled the issue from the opposite direction and designed 3D printed breadboards optimized for Raspberry Pi Pico and ESP32 development boards. The Pico typically only leaves two rows of each side of a typical breadboard, and some ESP32 boards are wide enough to take all rows and, as a result, are unusable. The trick here was to design the breadboard for each board with an opening in the middle, so that they only take two rows...

SpacemiT K3 16-core RISC-V SoC system information and (early) benchmarks

SpacemiT K3 is an upcoming RVA23-compliant 64-bit RISC-V processor based on X100 cores clocked at up to 2.5 GHz. So far, we had limited information, but SpacemiT gave remote access to one SpacemiT K3-powered server to Sander, and he was kind enough to share some system information and early benchmarks.

Let's start with system information reported by inxi utility:

The post SpacemiT K3 16-core RISC-V SoC system information and (early) benchmarks appeared first on CNX Software - Embedded Systems News.

USB 3.0 flash drive supports OS boot and file transfer on Raspberry Pi

Raspberry Pi has released the Raspberry Pi Flash Drive, a USB 3.0 Type-A flash storage device intended for file transfer, backups, and operating system use across Raspberry Pi boards and other computers. The flash drive is available in 128 GB and 256 GB capacities, with pricing starting at around $30. The Raspberry Pi Flash Drive […]

Raspberry Pi OS adds easier USB gadget mode support

Raspberry Pi OS Trixie now supports USB gadget mode out of the box, allowing users to connect to their Raspberry Pi boards over IP through USB without the need for a router. My first experience with USB gadget functionality was when I reviewed the Beaglebone Green Wireless SBC in 2016, but for some reason, official support for the Raspberry Pi ecosystem took a lot longer, and it was only officially implemented in Raspberry Pi OS Trixie images dated 20.10.2025 and later through the rpi-usb-gadget package. It’s been possible to use the USB gadget mode on Raspberry Pi OS for a...

Advantech MIO-5355 3.5-inch SBC features Qualcomm QCS6490 or QCS5430 SoC for industrial edge AI

Advantech MIO-5355 is a 3.5-inch SBC based on Qualcomm QCS6490 or QCS5430 Edge AI processor. The board features up to 8GB of LPDDR5 memory, 128GB of UFS storage, and supports various operating systems, including Windows 11 IoT Enterprise, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, and Yocto Linux. We have seen other QCS6490-based hardware in the past, such as the Radxa Dragon Q6A, the Quectel QSM560DR SBC, or the Rubik Pi 3, most of which come in compact form factors. The Advantech MIO-5355 takes a different approach, using a standard industrial 3.5-inch form factor (146 × 102 mm) and targeting industrial deployments with support...

TerraMaster D1 SSD Pro – A Thunderbolt 5 fanless SSD enclosure with 80Gbps bandwidth, 7GB/s practical performance

TerraMaster has recently launched the D1 SSD Pro Thunderbolt 5 fanless enclosure, an update to the previous Thunderbolt 4-based TerraMaster D1 SSD Plus. The new version features an 80Gbps Thunderbolt 5 port, supports M.2 2280 NVMe SSDs with up to 8TB capacity, and has been tested at up to 7,061MB/s read and 6,816MB/s write speeds, nearly doubling Thunderbolt 4 performance. The enclosure uses a fanless, CNC-machined aluminum design that enables silent operation through passive heat dissipation. It also features smart LED indicators for connection speed, and offers compatibility with Thunderbolt 5/4/3, USB4, and USB 3.2 across Windows, macOS, and Linux,...
