Lilbits: Raspberry Pi hikes prices due to rising RAM costs, Netflix ends (most) Google Cast support, and MyArcade launches two Sonic the Hedgehog-themed game systems

With tech companies investing heavily in building out the infrastructure for AI systems that you may or may not have asked for, prices for certain PC components have shot through the roof as manufacturers struggle to keep up with demand. GPUs were the first casualty, and now RAM and SSDs are seeing major price hikes as well.

While that’s most likely to take a toll on your wallet if you’re […]

I received an email by @Liberux today, and it's good news: #LiberuxNexx #LinuxMobile

@Liberux contacted me (no - not indiegogo!) that my crowdfunding refund did not work because indiegogo had problems doing the refund. Thanks to Liberux I got my refund. I would have liked to have a #LiberuxNEXX more, but also I am grateful to have my money back.

It's really disturbing to me, that there were people discrediting their campaign, knowing those are really based and honest folks. I hope their good intentions spread the word for when they come back.
#linuxphones #opensource #privacy

@privacyguides I think #LinuxMobile is the only real path forward for freedom.

Instead of hoping in #Google, it would be better in the long run if concerned users rallied behind #Linux options (mainline or #Halium-based), and there are quite a few now, existing and upcoming.

@VildaVedo @okias I didn't know about Box86-64, thanks. Hopefully #FLX2, Librem5 "Fir", #liberuxNexx, #dawndrums, etc will provide us those specs.

Liberux isn’t giving up on its ambitious Linux phone (despite crowdfunding fail)

The Liberux NEXX was designed to be the most powerful Linux phone to date, with features including a Rockchip RK3588S processor, support for up to 32GB of user-replaceable RAM and 512GB of storage, an OLED display, and support for 5G networks.

But when the Liberux team launched a crowdfunding campaign in early June the nearly $1.7 million goal seemed like a moonshot… especially for a […]

Probably the kickstarter of the #LiberuxNexx won't reach it's goal. However, if you can spare the money for it for some days (as you get it back once they don't hit the goal) you could get in a new kickstarter some time from now a signed letter from the whole team and your special number of being of the first. So actually - you get something for free just supporting the kickstarter for some days and then get your money back 😄
