Redditor's Amazon GPU Delivery: A Brick, Not a Boon
A Redditor's recent Amazon delivery of an RTX 5080 GPU turned out to be a brick, raising questions about supply chain issues. Meanwhile, tech giant Apple made headlines with a rare, working Apple I computer, and surveillance tech company Flock Safety is expanding its market reach.
The Redditor, who wished to remain anonymous, shared their unusual experience on the platform. The brick was delivered in an antistatic bag, typically used for electronic components, suggesting a packaging mix-up rather than a malicious act.
The Apple I computer, one of only nine estimated to still exist, has a fascinating backstory. Originally owned by June Blodgett Moore, the first female graduate of Stanford Law School, the working computer was recently sold for $475,000. Author J. B. Crawford, known for his insights into computer technology, has discussed such rare items in his latest essay.
Flock Safety, a company specializing in surveillance technologies for law enforcement, is expanding its market. Its flagship product, Aerodome, is a rooftop-mounted dock for a UAV that can be dispatched to calls for service, acting as an 'eye-in-the-sky'. The company is now targeting retailers and residential HOAs, aiming to contain costs and enhance security. In retail, the system can launch a drone upon shoplifting detection, with Flock remotely piloting and coordinating with law enforcement.
While the brick incident highlights potential supply chain issues, it appears to be an isolated incident rather than a widespread problem. The Apple I computer's sale underscores the value of historic tech, and Flock Safety's expansion signals a growing demand for advanced surveillance technologies in various sectors.
