Welcome to Tech Beat, your daily look at what's moving in the world of technology.
GoPro has a new flagship, and it's turning heads. The Mission One Pro earns high marks from Wired, crediting a larger sensor and more cinematic image quality for pushing action cameras into genuinely new territory. For creators who shoot in demanding conditions, this one looks like a serious step forward.
Shifting to a story with a few more question marks, a GitHub project claiming to run nearly two hundred thousand yottaflops on a single CPU core surfaced on Hacker News this week. It has one point and zero comments, which tells you something. Extraordinary performance claims require extraordinary evidence, and this one is offering neither so far.
And finally, a quirky but very real crime story out of China. Two men were arrested after systematically dismantling hotel room gaming PCs across multiple eSport hotels, walking away with sixteen RAM sticks worth roughly two thousand dollars. They sold the memory on the secondhand market, which made them easy to trace. A reminder that hardware crime gets remarkably low-tech remarkably fast.
