China announces CPU-only exascale supercomputer with 47,000 homemade processors, record 2 Exaflops of performance without GPUs — Lingshen super said to use Huawei Kunpeng servers and no foreign-made components

China's National Supercomputing Center in Shenzhen unveiled the Lingshen supercomputer project, aiming for over 2 ExaFLOPS performance using 47,000 homemade processors without GPUs or foreign components. The system, designed to surpass the current fastest supercomputer, El Capitan, would utilize Huawei Kunpeng servers and Arm-based Taishan cores. The project includes a pilot phase with 100 servers and a full production system with 1,580 blade servers. While China's claims of achieving 2+ ExaFLOPS are ambitious, questions remain about the feasibility of surpassing existing supercomputing benchmarks without GPUs or foreign-made CPUs.

Disabled gamer prototypes true one-handed keyboard-and-mouse controller — maker inspired to build device after losing right arm in an accident

A Reddit user, inspired by losing their right arm in an accident, created a prototype for a one-handed gaming controller that combines keyboard and mouse functions. The ERCHAM MK1 features a 28-key programmable keypad with an optical sensor for mouse functionality, making it suitable for individuals with disabilities like amputees, nerve injuries, or stroke survivors. The device allows for left- and right-handed use without modifications and has garnered interest from the Reddit community, potentially leading to production. The creator aims to develop the controller further, catering to a market segment often overlooked by mainstream peripheral manufacturers.

Tested: Windows 11 setup screen now finally lets you skip forced updates, and go directly to the desktop

Microsoft is introducing a new feature in Windows 11 that allows users to skip forced updates during the setup process, enabling them to go directly to the desktop. This feature, called "Update Later," lets users defer updates while setting up their device. Users can then manually pause or apply updates after reaching the desktop. Additionally, Microsoft is considering removing the mandatory Microsoft account setup requirement and reducing upsells during the out-of-box experience. These changes aim to improve user control and streamline the initial setup process in Windows 11.
