We brought a video camera to our date with the ID Buzz before its debut at SXSW.

On Wednesday, Volkswagen used the South by Southwest festival to formally unveil the ID Buzz, the company's forthcoming electric van. In the lead-up to that debut in Texas, VW gave Ars an hour with the gold-and-white show car to have a poke around.
You may have read our write-up on the car already, but we thought a video might be a better way to show off some of the quirky details of this new electric vehicle that's causing a lot of buzz. (Not sorry.)

At first glance, the ZTE Taichi W100D looks like a USB hub or docking station. It’s about the same size and shape and has a similar set of ports. It weighs just 55 grams (about 2 ounces), and it’s small enough to slide into a pocket.
But ZTE is positioning the device as a “Cloud Computer” that basically lets you use any display as a PC by streaming a virtual computer over the internet from a remote server using ZTE’s Cloud Computer technology.
As best as I can tell, this is an enterprise device that probably won’t be marked to consumers… and it’s not that different from thin client devices that have been around for decades. It’s just a whole lot smaller than most.
A thin client is also typically a stripped-down computer in its own right. While you don’t typically need a lot of storage or memory or a particularly fast processor, you do need some technology under the hood in order to connect to a server.
ZTE hasn’t shared many details about what’s actually under the hood of the Taichi Cloud Computer W100D, but a short promotional video shows that it has:
That should be enough to allow you to easily connect the device to the internet, hook up a display and wired or wireless mouse and keyboard, and begin working. When you’re done, you should just be able to unplug the device and take it with you for safe keeping or for use at another location.

Developer Niantic goes further than game industry peers by fully blocking access.

Pokemon Go developer Niantic has become the latest company to answer Ukraine's call to cut off Russia by stopping downloads of its games in the country. But Niantic is also going further than some of its peers, saying that "gameplay will also be suspended [in Russia and Belarus] shortly."
"We stand with the global community in hoping for peace and a rapid resolution to the violence and suffering in Ukraine," Niantic said in a tweeted announcement late Thursday night.
Niantic joins major game publishers—including Take-Two, Ubisoft, Electronic Arts, Activision Blizzard, Epic Games, and CD Projekt Red—as well as all major game console makers in preventing new players from obtaining their games and products in Russia during the ongoing invasion. But those other game companies have largely stopped short of suspending access for Russian customers that previously purchased games before the sanctions started.

Violent speech can be “political expression” but can’t target civilians.

As Russia’s invasion of Ukraine grinds on, Meta is temporarily changing its policies to allow users on Facebook and Instagram to post calls for violence against—and even the deaths of—Russian soldiers and political figures, including Russian President Vladimir Putin and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.
“As a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, we have temporarily made allowances for forms of political expression that would normally violate our rules like violent speech such as ‘death to Russian invaders,’” Meta spokesperson Andy Stone said on Twitter. “We still won’t allow credible calls for violence against Russian civilians.”
The temporary policy exception was recently sent to Facebook and Instagram moderators, and emails detailing the change were revealed by Reuters. The exceptions mark the social media company's latest attempt to adapt to the shifting geopolitical situation.

The Chuwi MiniBook is a convertible notebook with an 8 inch touchscreen display and a 360-degree hinge that lets you use the computer as a laptop or tablet. When it first launched a few years ago, the MiniBook wasn’t the most powerful subnotebook around, but it was certainly one of the most affordable, with retail prices starting at around $430. But the original MiniBook has been out of stock for some time.
Now there’s a new model and it’s both cheaper and it has a newer processor. Banggood is selling an updated Chuwi MiniBook Yoga with an Intel Celeron J4125 processor, 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage for $330.
The new model appears to be physically very similar to the original. It still has an 8 inch, 1920 x 1200 pixel IPS LCD touchscreen display, a 26.6 Wh battery, the same set of ports and the same size and weight.
It’s a 7.9″ x 5″ x 0.7″ computer that weighs about 1.5 pounds and which features LPDDR4 memory (not upgradeable) and eMMC 5.1 storage plus an M.2 2242 slot that you can use to add an optional SSD.
Here’s a run-down of key specs:
| Chuwi MiniBook (2022) specs | |
| Display | 8 inches 1920 x 1200 pixels IPS LCD Touchscreen |
| Processor | Intel Celeron J4125 10W 4-cores / 4-threads 2 GHz base / 2.7 GHz burst |
| Graphics | Intel UHD 600 250 MHz base 750 MHz burst |
| RAM | 6GB LPDDR4 |
| Storage | 128GB eMMC 5.1 M.2 2242 |
| Ports | 1 x USB Type-C 1 x USB 3.0 Type-A 1 x USB 2.0 Type-A 1 x mini HDMI 1 x microSD card reader 1 x 3.5mm audio jack |
| Webcam | 2MP |
| Audio | Stereo 0.8W speakers microphone 3.5mm audio jack |
| Wireless | WiFi 5 Bluetooth 4.2 |
| Battery & charging | 26.6 Wh USB-C power adapter |
| Keyboard | 6-rows 65 keys Backlit |
| Touch | Optical touch sensor |
| Security | Fingerprint sensor in power button |
| Dimensions | 201 x 128.6 x 19.3mm 7.9″ x 5″ x 0.7″ |
| Size | 663 grams 1.46 pounds |
| Price | $330 |
Wireless capabilities include WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 4.2 support, and the notebook has stereo 0.8W speakers, a 2MP webcam, and a built-in microphone.
What’s new is that the updated model has 6GB of RAM (the old versions started at 8GB) and an Intel Celeron J4125 processor, which is a 10-watt, 4-core, 4-core chip released at the end of 2019 as part of Intel’s Gemini Lake Refresh lineup.
When the MiniBook first launched it was available with two processor options:
While the new model with a Celeron J4125 processor probably won’t be a speed demon, it should bring a performance boost over the previous-gen entry-level model while also lowering the price tag of the little laptop.

Microsoft has also detailed some changes to Search in the Start menu.

Microsoft is testing a tabbed interface for the Windows 11 File Explorer, according to screenshots from developer Rafael Rivera. You can't access the feature without changing hidden settings in the latest Insider Preview build for the Dev channel, but XDA Developers has published a guide on enabling the interface. The process involves downloading ViveTool, a utility that has been used to dig up other present-but-hidden features in Windows preview builds.
Microsoft briefly tested File Explorer tabs in Windows 10 but never ended up including the feature in the publicly released version of the OS. We'd expect the tabbed File Explorer interface to be formally introduced and enabled in a future Windows 11 Insider build, as we saw in the redesigned Task Manager and a few other UI changes that have been discovered before they were announced.
Insiders have gotten other less-hidden Windows features in their builds this week, including tweaks to the Android Subsystem for Windows that improve scrolling performance and a few other features. A Microsoft Family app made for managing parental controls will be included in all installs of Windows 11 Home. The print queue has been given a Windows 11-style makeover, yet another example of how deep Microsoft is beginning to dig into the OS to make it feel more unified and consistent. And the web-based Clipchamp video editor has been added to default Windows 11 installs (though its best features, including higher-than-480p video exporting, are still gated behind an expensive subscription).
