Compulab, a PC maker in the US have announced their latest tiny computer.  The system is designed to run a desktop grade Ubuntu Linux distro or a fully featured Android OS. At only $99 we can see a wide audience for this diminutive machine.

There are two Gigabit Ethernet Lan ports, five USB ports, a Micro USB on the go connector, two RS232 serial ports, HDMI 1.4, DVI-D with a resolution support up to 1920×1200. The machine also ships with analog audio and S/PDIF 5.1 ports.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
