Orico and Western Digital’s Mac Studio-shaped device offers up to 112 Terabytes of High-Speed Storage

We’re living in a time where entertainment is at a point of evolution. Blu-Ray came and went, as did 3D content… but we’re fast approaching a future where spatial content may just become the norm. Videos today are shot in 4K and 8K, and videos in the future could be shot in spatial reality too, covering a 360° FoV. This means post-production teams will work with heavier file sizes and will need more than just an SSD attached to their iMac or Mac Pros. That’s where the Orico Data Matrix comes in. A hybrid storage solution that can provide anywhere between 5 and 112 terabytes of storage, the Orico Data Matrix lets you work with large files while offering write speeds of up to 1500Mb/s for CFexpress cards, or transfer speeds of a whopping 40Gb/s using Thunderbolt. The $699 device is absolutely perfect for video editing, post-production, and even animation, allowing you to speed up your workflow, no matter how heavy your files are!

The Data Matrix’s design clearly evokes a sleek, Apple-inspired sense of minimalism. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s exactly the same width and length as the Mac Mini or Mac Studio. The exterior is all anodized aluminum, while the interior sees the use of low-speed WD RED™ hard drives, combined with a large cache, anti-vibration mounting, and magnetic levitation fans, ensuring a quiet and efficient operation. This feature is particularly beneficial for creative professionals who often work during late hours and require a noise-free environment to maintain concentration and productivity. Its table-friendly design sits seamlessly on your desk alongside your other work peripherals, and if you’re relying on a Mac Mini/Studio or a Mac Pro, it helps to have all those ports accessible for cables.

The Data Matrix supports multiple I/O ports, including Thunderbolt 3, USB 3.1, and HDMI, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices and peripherals. This flexibility allows users to connect external hard drives, 4K displays, card readers, and other essential equipment seamlessly. The device also supports up to five daisy-chained devices, enabling users to expand their setup without compromising performance. This robust connectivity ensures that the Data Matrix can integrate smoothly into any professional workflow. Working with large file-sizes can often dramatically slow down your flow and pace too – but 1,500Mb/s writing and 3,000Mb/s reading speeds for the CFexpress cards, and overall 40Gb/s transfer speeds from the WD drives, allowing you to comfortably edit 8K videos in a jiffy.

The ORICO Data Matrix is available in various storage capacities, ranging from 5TB to 112TB, catering to different project sizes and requirements. This flexibility makes it a versatile solution for various professional needs, from small-scale projects to extensive, high-capacity demands. The system also supports up to five daisy-chained devices, allowing users to connect additional hard drives, 4K displays, card readers, and other peripherals, further enhancing its versatility and adaptability.

RAID stacking capabilities further enhance the reliability and security of the ORICO Data Matrix. With various RAID configurations, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, JBOD, and Normal, users can choose the setup that best suits their needs. These configurations provide a balance between performance and redundancy, safeguarding valuable data against potential loss. The hardware-level RAID stacking ensures that data integrity is maintained, offering peace of mind to creative professionals who rely on secure storage for their work.

There is a fresh new addition to the tiny home market – the Overlook designed by the online marketplace Tiny House Listings. The Overlook offers a compact and simple approach to micro-living, enclosed in an attractive cantilevering abode. It is based on a double-axle trailer and features a length of 20 feet. The exterior of the Overlook is finished in wood, amped with polyurethane accenting, and topped with a steel roof.

Designer: Tiny House Listings

The interior of the Overlook occupies 192 sq ft, and it is equipped with an entrance that opens out into the living space. The living area includes some seating, as well as a sleeping area above, which can be accessed via a ladder. This sleeping section cantilever from the main body of the home at a distance of 4 feet. There is little headroom available in this section. On the ground floor, the kitchen and living area are placed next to one another.

The kitchen is quite simple, but it is amped with quartz countertops, an apartment-sized fridge/freezer, a massive pantry storage space, an induction cooktop, a sink, and cabinetry. The kitchen is also equipped with plumbing to support a washer/dryer, and there is space available to install it.

The bathroom is located at the opposite end of the home to the bedroom. It is compact and seems to be a snug space, amped with a sink, shower, flushing toilet, and some additional storage space. The Overlook has a pretty compact size and is simply designed as well, which doesn’t make it a suitable option for hosting dinner parties or having guests over. But it is priced quite economically in comparison to other tiny homes at a price tag of US$59,000, making it a budget-friendly buy. If you’re okay with the small size, and simple amenities then the Overlook Tiny Home by Tiny House Listings is a true blue steel.

The Armchair That Celebrates The Nocturnal Youth Of Milan

Paninaro is an armchair that was inspired by a nocturnal walk along Via Brera, turning into Via del Carmine, where the counterintuitive soul of the city revealed itself—a lively and secluded entity. The designers described Milan at night as a place hungry for spontaneity and exuberance, where the street dress code dissolved formalities and the crowd was determined to make up for a lost time during the workweek. They noted that this timeless energy, where every weekend feels like a fresh start, was captured in the essence of Paninaro.

Designer: Sergei Lvov

Paninaro is more than just a chair; it’s a celebration of street aesthetics, youth, love, and informality. This armchair represents the new generation of Milanese Paninari—creative individuals who are disenchanted with the constraints of elegance and minimalism. They crave variety, playful forms, and the blending of styles, all of which Paninaro encapsulates perfectly.

The designers shared that they wanted to immortalize the beauty and magic of an autumnal night in Milan, a metaphorical representation of teenage years, full of beauty and a sense of magic. They emphasized that this inspiration is not confined to Milan alone but resonates with the contemporary spirit of urban youth culture worldwide. By capturing the universal desire for self-expression and informality, Paninaro speaks to young people everywhere who are eager to break free from tradition and embrace their individuality.

The chair’s arbitrary top is a playful nod to the fashion world, featuring quilted padded fabric reminiscent of a night coat. Its loose cut and falling sleeves emphasize its connection to pop culture, making it a statement piece that refuses to conform to traditional design norms. The ergonomic tubular steel base ensures a relaxed sitting position, adding to the chair’s laid-back charm.

The piece is aimed at contemporary creators who seek self-expression through multidisciplinary experimentation. It invites its users to embrace informality and creativity, making it a perfect fit for those who thrive on breaking boundaries and redefining norms. This armchair is not just a piece of furniture; it’s a symbol of a lifestyle that values spontaneity, variety, and the fearless pursuit of individuality.

ISPs are fighting to raise the price of low-income broadband

A new government program is trying to encourage Internet service providers (ISPs) to offer lower rates for lower income customers by distributing federal funds through states. The only problem is the ISPs don’t want to offer the proposed rates.

Ars Technica obtained a letter sent to US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo signed by more than 30 broadband industry trade groups like ACA Connects and the Fiber Broadband Association as well as several state based organizations. The letter raises “both a sense of alarm and urgency” about their ability to participate in the Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) program. The newly formed BEAD program provides over $42 billion in federal funds to “expand high-speed internet access by funding planning, infrastructure, deployment and adoption programs” in states across the country, according to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA).

The money first goes to the NTIA and then it’s distributed to states after they obtain approval from the NTIA by presenting a low-cost broadband Internet option. The ISP industries’ letter claims a fixed rate of $30 per month for high speed Internet access is “completely unmoored from the economic realities of deploying and operating networks in the highest-cost, hardest-to-reach areas.”

The letter urges the NTIA to revise the low-cost service option rate proposed or approved so far. Twenty-six states have completed all of the BEAD program’s phases.

Americans pay an average of $89 a month for Internet access. New Jersey has the highest average bill at $126 per month, according to a survey conducted by U.S. News and World Report. A 2021 study from the Pew Research Center found that 57 percent of households with an annual salary of $30,000 or less have a broadband connection.
