ARM and x86 are two primary architectures for computer processors, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. In this article we do a comparative analysis between ARM vs x86. In short ARM adopts a RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) philosophy, whereas x86 is based on a CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computing) approach. These divergent strategies influence the efficiency and performance of processors and their application in various computing environments. ARM (Advanced RISC Machines like Apple M and Qualcomm Snapdragon) ARM was officially founded as a company in November 1990 as Advanced RISC Machines Ltd, which was a joint venture between Acorn Computers, Apple Computer (now Apple Inc.) and VLSI Technology (now NXP Semiconductors N.V). Advantages Energy Efficiency: Designed for low-power consumption, making them ideal for mobile devices. Scalability: Can be scaled to a wide range of performance levels, from low-power microcontrollers to high-performance servers. Cost-Effective:...

3D printing at home becomes reality. Not only professionals has the possibilities to use a 3D printer. Today, everyone can get have his own 3D printer. History of 3D printing You've probably already heard of 3D printing. Professional companies are printing numerous objects with large printers. In China a company printed a building of five stores high, fully printed with a 3D printer. 3D printers actually already exist from the 80's, it were very big and slow machines and there were too many obstacles to produce a perfect object. Now a days the 3D printers are much better equipped because of the latest technologies, they are getting faster and faster (read: now it takes only 30 hours to produce a small object such as a wrench of 15 cm long). 3D printer at your home Beside professional 3D printers, there are now 3D printers made for in your home. For the price of an iPhone (600 euro) you can get them at your house. They come with a toolkit from over 100 steps but with ver...
