This USB-C cable can rotate 360 degrees for optimal cable management

The image shows a workspace scene with a laptop computer connected to a power adapter via a cable. In the foreground is a power strip with multiple outlets, a white power adapter, and a laptop. The background includes a gray wall, hinting at a modern, minimalist workspace. The overall setting suggests a home office or a clean, organized work area. The cable shows a 90-degree bend where it protrudes from the laptop's socket.
USB-C was a great step forward, removing the awkward “try to plug in the cable, doesn’t fit, rotate 180 degrees, still doesn’t fit” dance, but cable management is still a pain. If you wish your cables didn’t stick out at awkward angles and could rotate to fit your needs best, one Japanese company has your back—with a catch.

So whilst it will deliver 240W of charging power, actual data transfer rates are stuck at USB 2.0 rates. I can see that data throughput is going to be more sensitive than power delivery. And right now it is only available from their website.

Still, let’s hope this idea takes off and improvements can be made.

#OrangePi Now has an #OpenSource #RISC-V SBC [With M.2 Slot]

source: https://news.itsfoss.com/orange-pi-rv/

TL;DR: The #CPU is too weak for a #desktop system. Without #HDMI, there are much cheaper IoT RISC-V systems.

The RISC-V chip it uses is the same one as found on the #Milk-V Mars, with Orange Pi pointing out that it can run Linux distributions, pointing to #Debian #Linux on its download page.

With Milk-V Mars, starting #Firefox takes 20 seconds under Debian. Nobody really wants to work with this #performance. You could certainly shorten the time with a very lightweight customized Linux, but it is questionable whether these adjustments will be made.

What's better is that #PCIe is on the underside, unlike the Mars, and the #Wifi is onboard.

enter image description here

If you are looking for a pure IoT solution without HDMI, the Milk-V Duo S is a much cheaper hardware that runs under Linux.

A pretty interesting RISC-V powered SBC for tinkerers and developers.

Damn Small #Linux with a new mission

Meanwhile, in 2024, nearly everyone has abandoned the sub-700MB size limit to run on computers old enough to not have a DVD and cannot boot off of a #USB drive. This is completely understandable because applications, the #kernel, and drivers have all mushroomed in their space requirements. Hats off to Puppy Linux for staying one of the few that still offer a full #desktop environment in a small size.
