SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — LF Charities, Inc. (LF Charities) today announced that Project Jupyter, an open source project creating software and standards that are widely used by millions for interactive computing, data science, and research, is now hosted by LF Charities. This move is set to bolster Project Jupyter’s sustainability, governance, and ability to grow its ecosystem, ensuring that its collaborative open source approach continues to thrive.

Jupyter software and standards, including the ubiquitous and category-defining Jupyter Notebook, have become essential tools across industries. They enable data scientists, researchers, educators, and enterprises to create and share interactive notebooks, and to build new applications centered on the interactive exploration of data, supporting collaboration with both humans and AI.

“Project Jupyter has become a cornerstone in the data science, AI, and research communities, enabling interactive computing for users around the world,” said Jim Zemlin, executive director, the Linux Foundation. “We look forward to supporting the Project Jupyter community and enabling the project’s long term sustainable growth. We also would like to thank NumFOCUS, Inc. for their prior support of the project.”

“Project Jupyter has always been about collaboration, openness, and providing tools that support interactive computing at scale. Joining LF Charities represents an important milestone that will allow us to grow our impact and further our mission,” said Fernando Pérez, Jupyter Executive Council Member. “This move enables us to strengthen our governance model and secure the project’s future for generations of scientists, educators, and innovators.”

With its new home at LF Charities, Project Jupyter will continue to thrive as an open, community-driven platform. The transition will ensure the project’s stability, allowing it to respond more effectively to the growing demands of its users and contributors.

Project Jupyter welcomes companies using Jupyter in any capacity, research groups, government agencies, educators and individual contributors to get involved and participate. Additionally, organizations supporting Project Jupyter are working with the Linux Foundation to launch the Jupyter Foundation to further provide resources for the project’s strategy and direction.

The survey of 1,750 U.S. residents highlights significant stockpiling activity and large purchases.

According to the survey, 28% of Americans are actively stockpiling goods, with another 17% planning to start soon. Household essentials (78%) and non-perishable foods (78%) rank as the most commonly stockpiled items, while 20% of respondents say they are stockpiling a year’s supply or more.

GEEKOM Announces the Best Cost-Effective Mini PC- GEEKOM A6

Published

January 15, 2025

TAIPEI, Jan. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — GEEKOM, the Green Mini PC Global Leader, is going to release a new model named the A6 on January 17th, 2025.

This mini PC is already available for pre-order on GEEKOM‘s official website. Priced at $449, it may just be the new best mini PC under $500.

According to the official information, the GEEKOM A6 mini PC employs a well-ventilated aluminum chassis which measures only 0.47 liter, but it packs enormous power under the hood, thanks to the perfect combination of a beefy processor, high-bandwidth DDR5 RAM, and a fast PCIe Gen4 SSD.

At the heart of the GEEKOM A6 is the AMD Ryzen 7 6800H processor. With 8 powerful Zen3+ cores, 16 threads and 16MB L3 cache, this mobile chip is on par with the latest mainstream desktop CPUs in processing speed, allowing the GEEKOM A6 to handle complex computing duties like multimedia editing, code writing and data-intensive analysis with ease. The integrated Radeon 680M GPU also matches entry-level discrete graphics cards in gaming performance, giving the A6 enough oomph to run modern AAA titles smoothly at 1080P resolution. In addition, the A6 comes with Windows 11 OS, so buyers can use the mini PC right out of the box.

When it comes to heat dissipation, the mini PC features GEEKOM’s super-efficient IceBlast cooling technology. With air being actively redirected to different layers of the system, and pushed out through the rear of the chassis, key internal components can stay cool and stable even when tasks are loaded.

Besides its superb performance, the GEEKOM A6 is also perfectly reliable. It is built with premium material and has undergone rigorous testing before mass production, including 120 hours of high and low temperature test, 90 minutes of vibration test, 15000 cycles of I/O plug-unplug durability test, strict EMI radiation test and more. As a result, the A6’s lifespan is expected to be twice as long as that of mini PCs from other brands. Also, each GEEKOM mini PC is covered by a 3-year limited warranty, and the company offers 24/7 after-sale services for its users.

The A6’s launch event will be streamed live on GEEKOM‘s official YouTube channel on January 17th, 2025. During the launch event, GEEKOM will randomly give viewers promo codes to get the A6 at a discounted price.
