State buys 5 devices to scan drugs, keep officers safe | Handheld Delivery Device

Driving both trends, Sellars says, is the operational intelligence that image-based scanning and 2D bar codes provide. With laser-based scanning of one-dimensional bar codes, the only data collected is whether a code was properly read or not. If the trigger sensor went off but didn’t read, maybe a label is missing or the laser was looking for chocolate when presented with vanilla, but Sellars says the binary pass/fail feedback doesn’t lend itself to a quick and effective diagnosis.

And as I mentioned above, I’ve had the Edge web browser unexpectedly freeze or crash more often than I’m comfortable with… especially on a machine with 6GB of RAM. And I spent a lot of time looking at “[URL] is not responding” messages.

Judging by the Surface Go announcement, WoA’s future is really up in the air. There was no reason not to make the Surface Go a WoA device, and yet, despite Intel’s lack of proper mobile chipsets now, Microsoft still opted to go Intel’s Pentium line for the tablet even for the LTE version of the Surface Go despite Qualcomm SoC’s having obvious advantages in that area. Given Microsoft’s track record with Windows Phone, Zune, Groove, Windows RT, and so on, it’s hard not to question Microsoft’s commitment to WoA. High priced WoA devices are not going to attract consumers much like how the Xbox One had a slow start due in part to the pricing differences with the PS4. And opting to make your own 1st party reference device (as was the original purpose of the Surface line) not a WoA device speaks volumes. The last time this happened was… Read more »

Putin is popular with the Russian people, but many in the U.S. cannot get over the “Cold War” image of the Soviet Union and Joseph Stalin’s 40-year reign of murder and terror. The late Senator John McCain called Putin “an unreconstructed Russian imperialist,” and a brutish and cynical “KGB apparatchik.” Democrat 2016 Presidential Nominee Hillary Clinton called Putin “a KGB agent. By definition, he doesn’t have a soul…If this sounds familiar; it’s what Hitler did back in the 1930s.” Henry Kissinger has pointed out, however, that “The demonization of Vladimir Putin is not a policy. It is an alibi for not having one.” It should also be noted that the Russian Orthodox Church has thrived and is growing rapidly since the Communists are out of power, and while he has not driven that growth, Putin has enthusiastically supported it.

As for that processor, the Pentium Gold 4415Y is a very low-wattage mobile CPU. (It has a 6-watt thermal design power rating.) It’s a seventh-generation chip with two cores but support for four processing threads via Hyper-Threading. A CPU that tops out at this level is more or less necessary given the target price point and limited space for thermals—the Surface Go’s design is fanless. All of this promises to add up to a modestly speedy handheld system—by no means a powerhouse, but a little machine well more capable than your typical extreme-budget 2-in-1, especially if you opt for the model with the "true" SSD versus the pokier eMMC flash memory. The Pentium Gold, versus the Atoms and Celerons common in budget chromebooks and like systems in this price range, should help.

This tool is very reliable, and is able to decode barcodes even in the low light environments. Skewed angles, blurry, damaged, and small barcodes are all decodable even on low resolution cameras. Scandit can also deal with barcodes in motion and multiple barcodes at once.

Other features include a 52 Whr battery, 802.11ac WiFi, and Qualcomm’s X16 Gigabit LTE modem. You’ll need to supply a SIM card to connect to LTE networks, and you may end up paying extra for data, depending on your wireless plan, (although Sprint, at least, is offering Windows 10 on ARM users some free data through the end of the year, and some carriers, like Project Fi, offer data-only SIM cards that tap into your existing plan for no additional fee… other than charges for any additional data you may use).

Where this sensor and lens combination shines is in macro photography, where we got very close to relatively small objects and still managed some impressive pictures.

“Where’s the value?” If you have to lean so hard on battery life and not multitasking on 6 GB of RAM as features, what are you selling me?

These software tools make it easier to deploy and provision devices, update hardware, spot security problems, and troubleshoot or remotely repair devices on the shop floor or in the field.
