Floppy Chips Will Change Everything
In a recent episode of Tech Linked, the exciting advancements in flexible chip technology were showcased, specifically focusing on a new prototype from Arm called "PlasticArm." Unlike previous flexible chips, this innovative microchip boasts a 32-bit Cortex M zero CPU and over 18,000 logic gates, making it approximately twelve times more potent than earlier versions. The main advantage? Cost-effectiveness. PlasticArm chips can be integrated into product packaging, such as labels that can detect food spoilage, showcasing promising applications that blend technology with everyday items .
The episode also included discussions on various tech topics, including EVGA's commitment to replacing bricked RTX 3090 GPUs for free, a significant move welcomed by gamers considering the controversies surrounding the MMO New World. Moreover, there was a highlight on the Federal Trade Commission's unanimous decision to back the right-to-repair movement, which aims to enforce consumer rights regarding gadget repairs, potentially impacting manufacturers like Apple .
Riley Murdock and the team also addressed a recent DNS issue affecting major platforms such as Amazon, Steam, and Costco, caused by Akamai, drawing attention to the fragility of online services . The episode wrapped up with a humorous note on the Tokyo Olympics, reminiscing about the absence of Nintendo in the musical fanfare, despite featuring numerous iconic video games .
Feel free to share your thoughts on the technological implications of flexible chips and if you think the shift towards right-to-repair policies will significantly impact tech enthusiasts! What do you think about the tech landscape in 2024?
