Daily Tech News 28 April 2025

Top Story

Google's DeepMind team in the UK is reportedly seeking to unionise, upset by Google dropping the "don't be evil" motto about seventeen years ago. (Tech Crunch)

We regret to inform you that Google's DeepMind team in the UK has been replaced by DeepMind.
Meanwhile Microsoft's massive AI efforts have come to a screeching halt. (XDA Developers)

People are willing to dabble with AI, but far fewer are willing to have it infect their own devices. Copilot has one twentieth the userbase of ChatGPT and is only falling further behind.

Tech News

The Lenovo Legion Tab 3 is pretty good if you're looking for a small, fast Android tablet with a high resolution screen. (Notebook Check)

Which is a good thing since it is the only small Android tablet with a high resolution screen, apart from Aliexpress deals.

Also good because I just bought one.

However, the Lenovo Legion Tab 4 has already been leaked, so you might not want to buy this one unless you see it on sale. Which I did.

It's comparable to Apple's latest iPad Mini - in fact, the review scores of the two devices were only 0.1% apart.
Minisforum has a new mini-PC that is not quite so mini. (Liliputing)

It has a 16 core Ryzen 9 9955HX laptop CPU, up to 96GB of RAM (or 128GB if you can find the modules), three M.2 slots, a PCIe slot (for very small PCIe cards), two 2.5Gb Ethernet ports, and two 10Gb Ethernet ports, which is a bit unusual in this class of device. They're SFP rather than RJ45, though, so you'll need transceivers or fancy cables.

Prices start at $839.
