Lilbits: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide, Razer Blade 16, and more fallout from Chuwi’s processor mixup Two recent laptops from Chinese PC maker Chuwi that were supposed to ship with AMD Ryzen 5 7430U processors actually had Ryzen 5 5500U chips inside. That means instead of getting a processor with a Zen 3 CPU, customers were getting notebooks with chips featuring AMD's older Zen 2 architecture. But the only way to prove this was to actually open up the computer and remove the CPU cooler to look at the chip, because Chuwi had set things up so that software like CPU-Z would misidentify the processor.

Lilbits: Arm’s first silicon, Chuwi’s not-quite-apology, and Pebble’s Time 2 smartwatch ships soon Arm has just introduced a new processor for data centers. There's nothing too unusual in that statement... except that for the first time the chip designer is actually making its own processor. The company has been licensing its designs to third party chip makers for decades, but the new Arm AGI CPU is an Arm-branded processor that Meta plans to use in data centers.

The $40 Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select ships with Vega OS The new Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select is a media streamer that plugs into the HDMI port of your TV to let you stream content from Amazon, Netflix, and other media sources.

Lilbits: AYN Odin 3 is coming, TrueNAS ported to ARM (unofficially), and International packages valued under $800 no longer exempt from US tariffs The "de minimis" exemption that allowed packages worth $800 or less to be shipped duty-free to the US is officially gone.

Roku launches new Streaming Sticks for $30 and up It's harder to find a TV these days that doesn't have out-of-the-box support for streaming media from services like Netflix, Hulu, Max, YouTube, and Amazon Prime Video than it is to find one that does. But there's still a market for media streaming boxes and dongles - likely because they can bring new features or software updates to older TVs as well as letting you choose which streaming platform to use with your TV.
