I’ve been rooting for Xiaomi since I was a lad.
Went for a wander round the shops. On the road without a trusty bottle opener, I feel like a fish out of lager.
While I was shopping, the lads quietly rolled outMiMo-V2-Flash— andstraight away with results.
In benchmarks the model goes toe to toe with Gemini 3.0 Pro, GPT-5, Kimi K2-Thinking and DeepSeek-V3.2.
Sorry, got distracted.
I cannot abide the trend for built-in cables in power banks. With my signature “triple-squish” rucksack packing technique, that’s a fatality. Frayed ends are simply beyond the UX design of Czech brewers.
What’s new:
I won’t be buying the glasses while Zuck keeps pimping his Ray-Bans. They added 1080p 60fps a week ago, in case you hadn’t noticed from the new videos.
The bone-conduction headphones don’t quite rock. But no final verdict yet. They need warming up with some vinyl.
I treated myself for the transistor’s birthday — a 140W GaN, a proper watt-crusher, for £28.00.
The birthday was yesterday, 23 December. Anyone who didn’t celebrate should be ashamed and hand in their soldering iron.
The skinflints of Cupertino want £99.00 for the equivalent 🥱
