Hyte, a popular case manufacturer known for sleek designs like the Y60 andY70 Touch, has temporarily paused shipments of certain products to the U.S. The move comes as the company prepares for new tariffs on Chinese-manufactured goods implemented by the Trump administration. In a recent AMA (Ask Me Anything) session onReddit, Hyte’s Product Director, Rob Teller, said that while the company is still fulfilling open customer pre-orders, all other shipments have been paused or redirected to other regions....

You can use your DualShock 4 controller either wirelessly or with a USB plug. Sometimes, though, yourPS4 controller won’t charge, so using the peripheral without cables is not possible. There’re various reasons why your PS4 controller isn’t charging. These could be minor physical issues, like dust and cable damage. Or it could be software problems, which may force you to reset and update the console. It’s a common problem, though, which means there’re common solutions....

AMD’s quad-core EPYC 4124P appears to have great overclocking potential, as avid overclockerder8auerpushed this supposedly “locked” CPU to 5.65 GHz with a custom water cooling setup and a slight pinch of delidding. While impractical for daily usage, overclockers have found a new niche and are extracting every last bit of performance out of this processor to claim the number-one spot at HWbot. Coming in at €160 ($174.48), the EPYC 4124P is not cheap and costs €10 ($10....

We hear a lot about cloud storage these days but those less tech savvy might not realize that cloud storage still involves a hard physical location. If you want to use a cloud service, you’re essentially renting hard drive space on a server somewhere owned by a third party. If you prefer to keep your data a little closer to home, you should look into creating a personal cloud server like this one put together byMichael Klementsusing aRaspberry Pi 5....

Tom’s Hardware Verdict $70 is a lot of money, but for that you get an AI smart camera with performance that will cover 99% of basic user projects. It also works as a standard Raspberry Pi camera, freeing up access to the PCIe port, unlike the Raspberry Pi AI Kit. It just works Can be used as a camera Onboard “NPU” Converter for PyTorch and TensorFlow models 30fps object detection...

We’re no strangers toRaspberry Pi-powered fightsticks and have covered our fair share of unique creations over the years, like this gorgeouswooden fightstick. However, thisPico fightstickcreation, put together by maker and developer Goblinhan Yıkan adds a new dynamic to the classic fightstick by adding a few extra buttons. What we like about this project isn’t the overall design. It’s fairly barebones but it’s the functionality that excites us the most. The rig works like a normal fightstick, plugging in via USB—which is likely why the Pico was chosen as the main controller....

Four days ago, YouTuberChromaLockuploaded a build log of his latest hardware project on his channel. This time, he showcased a Game Boy Color capable of playing back video through its original link cable via a Raspberry Pi Pico and custom software optimized for the workload. Generally, simpler video means higher playback FPS— with surprisingly good clarity and smoothness for a connected USB webcam versus the classic Game Boy Camera accessory— but most videos are best played in monochrome since colors are limited to a palette of 4 and make videos even harder to run on Game Boy Color’s 160 x 144-pixel display....

Embedded World 2024kicked off yesterday andRaspberry Piwere quick off the blocks to showcase two new products, and to display aRaspberry Pi 5product that was announced during its launch in late 2023. We’ve reached out to Raspberry Pi for official confirmation and this article will be updated once we have the information.

Prices of precious metals used in electronics manufacturing have drastically jumped in the past five years. This is especially true of copper, which cost $5,000 per metric ton in 2020 but now sits at $8,300. Because of these price increases,Digitimes reportsthat several Chinese semiconductor companies are raising their prices. Some companies, including battery circuit protection firm ICM and circuit design, packaging, and testing firm Yaxin Microelectronics, have informed their customers in writing that they’re increasing their prices by 10-20% across the board with immediate effect....

Samsung is reportedly delaying the launch of its Taylor, Texas, fab, citing difficulties in securing customers for its output. Sources toldNikkei Asiathat even if the South Korean chipmaker brings in the necessary equipment to produce chips at the new plant, the company cannot do anything with them due to the lack of demand. Aside from that, the original planned process node for the Taylor plant is no longer aligned with current demand, highlighting the rapid pace of semiconductor technology....
