So, traveling presenters, and those who work on stable desks or tray tables, should appreciate the Surface Go. But that leads us to one of the larger talking points surrounding this machine: Who, really, is it for?

Chiptune is a relatively new musical genre. Inspired by the video game soundtracks of the 8 and 16-bit eras, it looks to recreate that signature electronic pixelated sound. Of course, that’s not something you can replicate with drums or a guitar, so chiptune musicians use Game Boys instead. Entire cartridges of software have been created to help get the best sounds and notes out of the handhelds. Little Sound DJ (or LSDJ) and Nanoloop are among the most popular. If you’re interested, there are plenty of tutorials online showing people how to mod their Game Boys and make music themselves.

Gunpei Yokoi’s philosophy of "Lateral Thinking with Withered Technology" had a lot of merit to it. By using technology they’d already developed and understood when making the Game Boy, Nintendo was able to make it cost effective and reliable. But just because you’re working with old technology, doesn’t mean you can’t improve it. The Game Boy was built off much of the same tech as the NES, but outclassed its older console brother. The handheld was twice as fast despite both systems using 8-bit processors, and the Game Boy had four times as much memory. The lack of color helped.

The device has a fold-out ‘arm’ that the user holds near a suspected ‘offensive’ area. It takes 10 seconds for the gadget to sense a smell.

Don’t expect it to handle many games or intensive apps well. It can play Flappy Bird like a champ, so some casual gamers will be happy with it. I tried to run Asphalt 9: Legends for kicks, and it actually worked! I could race with it, but loading took forever, it crashed a few times, and there was obvious lag in button pressing. Not to mention the tiny screen and bad resolution made it really hard to do well in races.

There are two other aspects to the P8 that we need to mention for anyone considering a purchase. The first is that while this phone came with a relatively unadulterated version of Android Oreo 8.1 installed, when we got the phone, the latest security update was dated June 2018.

Additionally, asset visibility tools provide mobile device location and health information so that companies can optimize their deployments and avoid unexpected downtime.

It was late afternoon on a Monday when I may or may not have been forced to such an extreme. I was dispensing packages on Primrose Lane in Pinole, and I remember thinking, afterward: Aside from the fact that my checking account is overdrawn and I’m 30 deliveries behind and the sun will be down in an hour and I’m about to take a furtive whiz in the back of a van, life really is a holiday on Primrose Lane!

”Businesses need to stop complaining about security and start doing something about it. The technology is there, they just need to start adopting it,” he said. “Multi-factor biometric authentication is readily available and tested, so I think the time is now to implement it not just for device access, but for apps as well.”
