Eat this, Raspberry Pi 5: Here are 3 powerful AMD Ryzen Mini PCs that sell for under $180 and trounce more expensive SBCs

The best Raspberry Pi distros have long been a favorite among hobbyists and DIY enthusiasts, but at $120 for the latest Raspberry Pi 5 16GB model, running one isn't necessarily the value proposition it once was.

But, for just little bit more, you can buy a full-fledged AMD Ryzen-powered mini PC that delivers formidable performance without breaking the bank.

I've found three mini PCs on Amazon under $180, that may be a little bigger, but also give you more for your money.

Additionally, the Beelink GTR5 is priced below $180 (though temporarily out of stock at press time, it's worth a wishlist), the GenMachine Mini PC costs $ (with a 5% discount at time of writing). And the BOSGAME E2 Mini PC is listed at $, but a $60 coupon brings it down to $.

Moving to another aspect, these aren’t weak, low-power machines. They're all powered by the AMD Ryzen 5 3550H, a 4-core, 8-thread processor with a max turbo clock, making them far superior to Intel's entry-level N-series chips.

The Beelink GTR5 includes a 500GB SATA SSD, while the GenMachine and BOSGAME E2 come with NVMe SSDs in the region of 500GB of storage that offer uncompromised data transfer speeds.

All of these products ship with 16GB of DDR4 RAM and fast SATA SSD storage, with an NVMe expansion slot for additional storage.

For bells and whistles, the GTR5's Radeon Vega 8 GPU handles 4K video playback and. Multi-monitor support is standard, thanks to HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB-C output. The GTR5 also goes a step further with a fingerprint reader for secure logins and a dual-fan cooling system to keep temperatures in check.

The BOSGAME E2 and GenMachine, meanwhile. Focus on no-frills computing, coming with a Radeon 770M or simply integrated graphics, respectively. These could leave you wanting more, but if you’re after a compact, capable workstation on a budget comparable to the most expensive Pi 5, then I don't think you'll do much advanced.

GrubHub reveals massive data breach - customers, drivers, businesses all affected, here's what we know

Food delivery service GrubHub has been breached through a third-party vendor.

Moving to another aspect, the incident left Personally Identifiable Information exposed on customers and others.

GrubHub has launched a full investigation.

GrubHub has confirmed suffering a ‘security incident’ involving a third-party contractor which resulted in the unauthorized access to a set of user contact information.

The breach was detected after the firm noticed unusual activity within its environment. Which it traced back to a third-party vendor that provides services for its Support Team. Once discovered, GrubHub reportedly launched an investigation and found unauthorized access to an account associated with the vendor.

Following the incident, GrubHub expressed it enhanced its security by implementing enhanced monitoring services, as well as strengthening credential security and. Engaging forensic experts to complete a comprehensive investigation.

This incident proves just how crucial monitoring your systems and your vendors is for businesses of all sizes. Third-party data breaches have become a major security concern thanks to the vast number of vendors most firms will use. Many of which are smaller companies with smaller cybersecurity budgets.

“If you want to get into a big organization you go through [third-party vendors]. You go for the low hanging fruit. We've got 14,000 vendors globally providing everything from uniforms in retail branches to large scale data centers,” Standard Chartered Bank’s Benedict Peet told TechRadar Pro.

“You've got to have a scalable security questionnaire to ask them, but the risk is still the same, whether it's a mum and pop shop in the back streets of Seoul or it's at Atos Origin or someone like that.”.

OpenAI responds to the DeepSeek buzz by launching its latest o3-mini reasoning model for all users

OpenAI has pushed out o3-mini models to ChatGPT.

OpenAI is facing increasing competition from China.

As promised last week, OpenAI has now launched its latest o3-mini AI model to customers on all ChatGPT plans. Including the free tier. The new model brings with it improved reasoning capabilities, especially in math, coding, and science.

The o3-mini release "advances the boundaries of what small models can achieve", OpenAI says. And it apparently responds 24% faster than the o1-mini model it's replacing. As per external testers, o3-mini answers are preferable to o1-mini answers 56% of the time, and include 39% fewer mistakes.

As with o1-mini. This reasoning AI model will show its workings above its responses – so you can check the 'thought' processes involved. You can also combine this reasoning with web searches if needed, though this integration is still in its early stages.

Of course, the release comes after a tumultuous week in AI, in which the models offered for free by China's DeepSeek have attracted millions of people with their speed and accuracy – and now OpenAI is trying to grab back some of the limelight (and traffic).

OpenAI o3-mini is now available in ChatGPT and. The users will have unlimited access to o3-mini and Plus & Team users will have triple the rate limits (vs o1-mini). Free users can try o3-mini in ChatGPT by selecting the Reason button under the message composer. January 31, 2025.

For paying people, o3-mini can be selected from the model picker in the top left corner. If you're on a Plus or Team plan, you get 150 queries of o3-mini daily, and if you're on the Pro plan, access is unlimited – for a mere $200 (about £160 / AU$320) per month.

Paying ChatGPT customers also get access to an o3-mini-high model that applies the same reasoning skills but. Takes longer to think and respond. It boosts performance even further, if you don't mind waiting a few extra seconds.

OpenAI has also highlighted the safety assessments that o3-mini has gone through before launched – it apparently "significantly surpasses" the GPT-4o model when it comes to assessing unsafe use and jailbreak attempts.

Yes, I know. We’re all very excited about how powerful Nvidia’s RTX 5090 is, and presumably many of us are also very upset that Nvidia apparently thou...
