LG’s “Hybrid AI” gram Laptops

Thin Clients – The New LG Laptop

With Advanced AI Features and Capabilities, 2025 LG gram Laptops Deliver Smarter, More Personalized Productivity Experiences

SEOUL, Dec. 31, 2024 — LG Electronics (LG) is set to unveil its 2025 LG gram lineup, the company’s first on-device AI-powered laptops, at CES 2025 in January. The new lineup includes innovative models such as the gram Pro, gram Pro 2-in-1, gram and gram Book. Leveraging LG’s gram AI technology,1 the latest grams deliver state-of-the-art capabilities and stellar performance, harnessing large language models and personalized AI features to elevate the user experience – all while preserving the series’ iconic slim and lightweight design.

Enhancing Productivity and Personalization with LG gram AI
The 2025 gram laptops present a smarter, more secure and highly-personalized user experience through LG’s innovative gram AI. With gram chat On-Device, these laptops utilize AI algorithms to process and analyze data locally without requiring a network connection. At the same time, they provide convenient access to cloud-based AI services via gram chat Cloud, powered by GPT-4o. This subscription-based service, which uses GPT-4o, is offered free of charge for the first year. The integration of on-device and cloud-based AI creates a hybrid AI solution that enhances productivity by delivering personalized insights, a comprehensive knowledge base and an intuitive, ever-evolving experience that adapts to users’ needs.

gram chat On-Device employs a small language model derived from LG AI Research’s EXAONE large language model. This enables fast and secure local processing to provide relevant answers and simplify device management. Notable features include Time Travel, allowing users to quickly and easily revisit web pages, documents, videos and audio files.

Additionally, gram chat Cloud integrates with personal calendar and email services, enabling users to manage their schedule and send and receive emails more efficiently.

Unleashing Unprecedented Performance with Intel’s Next-Generation Processors
The 2025 gram laptops set a new benchmark in the series’ history, powered by Intel’s next-generation processors: the Intel Core Ultra H-Series (Arrow Lake) and the Intel Core Ultra V-Series (Lunar Lake). The H Series processors are designed to maximize traditional PC performance, while the V Series CPUs are optimized for AI-driven PC experiences.

The Arrow Lake-powered gram laptops boast more computing power and improvement in graphics processing, compared to 2024 gram models.

The Lunar Lake-powered models come equipped with Microsoft’s “Copilot+” PC functionality, offering productivity- and creativity-boosting features such as real-time video subtitle translation and AI image generation.

Delivering Innovation and Versatility for Every User
At the forefront of the 2025 lineup is the LG gram Pro (model 17Z90TR), a laptop that presents the best of performance and portability. Inside the gram Pro’s sleek, slim and lightweight form factor is an Arrow Lake CPU and NVIDIA GeForce RTX™ 4050 graphics card. This advanced hardware combination enables the gram Pro to effortlessly handle a variety of demanding tasks, from resource-intensive graphic design and 3D-rendering work to video editing and running the latest AAA games.

The lineup also includes the new LG gram Pro (model 16Z90TS), the first Copilot+ PC in the gram series. Measuring just 0.49 inches thick and weighing 2.73 pounds, it delivers remarkable portability. Another highlight is the 16Z90TR, boasting a 16-inch display and an impressively light weight of only 2.64 pounds. As the lightest model in the 2025 gram Pro lineup, it exemplifies gram’s signature lightweight design while delivering powerful performance.

Additionally, the highly versatile LG gram Pro 2-in-1 (model 16T90TP) has been recognized with a CES 2025 Innovation Award for its outstanding design and functionality. Offering incredible flexibility, the device comes with a wirelessly chargeable stylus pen that expands and enhances the user experience.

To expand its U.S. market presence, LG is introducing the LG gram Book (model 15U50T), an entry-level model offering key features and benefits of the gram series at a more accessible price. The gram Book has a 15.6-inch Full HD (1,920 x 1,080) display, expandable storage options, a 720p HD webcam with privacy shutter, and a slim and light design for take-anywhere convenience.

All new gram laptops support gram Link 2.0, an upgraded version of the gram Link feature first introduced last year. gram Link 2.0 facilitates seamless device connectivity across operating systems,2 allowing users to easily share content and transfer files with a diverse range of PC and mobile products, including iOS and Android-based smartphones. This feature also allows users to handle incoming phone calls directly on their gram laptops, minimizing workflow interruptions.

“2025 LG gram products, featuring advanced gram AI, are powerful, portable productivity companions that can understand users’ needs, intelligently utilize relevant information, and enhance workflow,” said YS Lee, vice president and head of the IT Business Unit, LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. “LG is committed to delivering premium-quality laptops that harness the latest AI technologies to enable users to do and achieve more.”

ChromeOS – Google Chrome Summit 2024

Google’s Chrome Summit 2024

Nice video review of Chrome Summit 2024. Corporate, then Some digital signage and then quick look at HP Engage kiosk for Burger King. Been awhile seeing HP in the kiosk space but they are fairly opportunistic. Recurring phrase for emcee was “now that applications have moved to the web…”. Google has a strong base in education for Chromebooks and that has sustained the development teams and infrastructure at Google which often rolls something out and then 3 years later rolls it back up.

Flex is literally a remix of Remix/acquisition and as far as device integration goes it suffers just like the TV-based OS Samsung uses with Tizen. Can be done for sure but it is as simple as hooking it up? Nope.

Here is the HP kiosk page (recently launched?) — https://www.hp.com/lamerica_nsc_carib-en/solutions/pos-systems-products.html#tab=self-service-kiosk

From MS Pilot

The ChromeOS 2024 event showcased several exciting updates and innovations. Here are some key highlights:

Enhanced Performance: New optimizations for better speed and efficiency, particularly on devices with ARM and Intel processors.
Improved Integration: Seamless connectivity with Android devices and better support for cross-platform applications.
Security Features: Advanced security measures, including enhanced sandboxing and more robust encryption.
User Experience: A refreshed user interface with more customization options and accessibility features.
AI Integration: Introduction of AI-powered tools for productivity and personalization.

Overall, the event emphasized Google’s commitment to making ChromeOS more versatile and user-friendly, catering to both casual users and professionals.

Media Player for Digital Signage

Media Player Models and Types

The media player is a rising star in modern computing. Displaying digital content, usually programmed by CMS, is exciting new computing segment. The original NUC from Intel helped kick things off along with Chrome boxes and players. No more is the big fat Dell Optiplex but instead a tiny media computer often embedded in the large display screen.

For best reliable US options options we recommend Elotouch and Insight-Touch.

Examples of Media Player

Windows media player is still the most common
Android (also Chrome) are fast becoming the low-cost standard
Competing with Android are the linux-based players
Mobile phones are beginning to be used as WiFi players
Remote monitoring, content management and reporting are mandatory
Many come in AIO configuration which includes a screen, often with touch
SOC built into monitors (Samsung, LG, Sony, etc)

Some of the notable real-life media player examples include:

The Elo Backpack for Android
Insight Touch
Pyramid Computer
Rise NUC with i3 ($615)
ShiningLTD ($300)
AOPEN ($850)
MINIX ($280)
Ubuntu Linux on Amazon ($199)
Brightsign ($250)
Raspberry PI ($80)
ASUS
ViewSonic
MUXWAVE – digital posters driven by mobile phone WiFi

Key Features of Digital Signage Media Players

Content Playback: Supports various file formats like MP4, PNG, HTML, and streaming media.
Connectivity: Equipped with Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or Bluetooth capabilities.
Remote Management: Allows control and updates of content remotely from a CMS.
4K/UHD Support: Capable of displaying content in ultra-high-definition.
Interactive Capabilities: Some players support touchscreen or sensor input.
Scheduling: Ability to schedule content to play at specific times.
Storage: Options for local or cloud storage for caching content.

Quick Recommendations

Historically Windows-based players have been the majority
Generally people go cheap with consumer-grade Windows and end up suffering patch management issues
Going cheap with Windows often means a low-powered Celeron
Industrial and dedicated (aka purpose built) is top reliability
Brightsign is a longtime player in that space
A “fixed” Android image is better than the latest Android since you want to minimize management and issues
Elotouch is great option for that
Linux is super reliable (Debian or Ubuntu), super cheap, and extremely easy to manage.
Intel CPUs like the i7 and corresponding graphic processors are ideal
Intel CPU should be proven and modern
- 13th and 14th gen Raptor
- 12th gen Alder
You want a computer designed for graphic display, not for running Windows and its incumbent overhead
Windows is best for integrating into most networks, however, bear in mind these devices are out in the public and susceptible to being hacked
Lockdown software to prevent USB insertion is available (Sitekiosk and KioWare e.g.)
Software
- Sitekiosk has own CMS for digital signage
- Nanonation has very mature system
- LG has its software CMS for its SOC. LG also does thin client as well so quite accomplished and wide choice.

Media Player Digital Signage Videotel

Smallest Media Player Yet From Videotel Digital

Excerpt

San Diego-based Videotel Digital has started marketing what the company calls its most powerful media player to date – a little Android box with a lot of RAM and a pair of HDMI outputs to drive two separate or sync’d content streams.

The new VP92+ is also interactive-ready for any of Videotel dozen touch or touch-less peripherals. The units come standard with 64GB of RAM and ARM’s Quad-core G52-2EE processor, and can play 4K video at 60fps.

The players have free embedded CMS software, as well as optional, subscription-based Studio Web and Studio Pro software that presumably would be used for more involved jobs.

Thanks to Sixteen Nine

Press Release

The VP92+ Can Push the Same OR Different Content to Two Different Screens Simultaneously

Videotel Digital is pleased to announce its brand new VP92+ reimagined to be faster and more powerful than ever before. Because the VP92+ has dual HDMI ports, users can now use just one player to present two screens of the same content, different content or run the content simultaneously (in sync), making it a perfect choice to power screens in retail, hospitality, transportation, museums and cultural centers, and other industry sectors.

Each VP92+ player comes standard with 64GB of RAM and ARM’s Quad-core G52-2EE processor, that contains four processing cores in a single chip, making it fast, ensuring better performance, and allowing the player to support output for two screens flawlessly. In addition, the unit runs on an Android operating system and can play 4K video at 60fps.

The all new VP92+ also comes with free powerful embedded content management software capable of seamlessly playing full screen image or video content from YouTube, SFTP, LAN, Website, SD/USB, URL File, IPTV and HDMI IN. The unit’s split-screen capability allows two versions of content to be played on two screens from any of the listed sources. Users can also load one or multiple files on either an SD, USB, SFTP, or LAN and have both files/screens play in sync. The VP92+ can also “auto-crop” and sync files providing the ability to split one image on two screens.

The all new VP92+ also has interactive capability and can seamlessly incorporate any of Videotel Digital’s dozen touch or touch-less interactive peripherals. These devices can trigger content with various sensors/readers to detect motion, weight, RFID tags, or barcodes offering customer-facing organizations different ways to engage their visitors. For instance, a video can either be triggered with HDMI IN in response to detected motion or in response to an invitation for the viewer to scan any barcode (e.g., UPC) using USB/SD, SFTP, or LAN.

Videotel’s optional Studio Web and Studio Pro software are each available on a subscription basis for only $10 per month per player, making it easy to schedule and push content at specific times. Any network administrator can use this software to build campaigns using thousands of templates and widgets, then deploy the campaign to one or over 1,000+ players with the push of a button.

The all new VP92+ 4K digital signage media player does all of this and is local, network, or WIFI capable. Videotel’s newest and most powerful player offers the same physical hardware as its predecessor and comes with a two-year warranty. Unlike competitors, all Videotel Digital products come with free technical support via chat or with a real live person.

Lisa Schneider, Videotel’s EVP of Sales & Marketing said, “The VP92+ is the most powerful and fasted st 4K industrial grade media player we’ve ever introduced in our 44-year history. It is feature-rich, flexible, reliable, and appropriate for a variety of industry sector applications.”

Real Time Translation with Transparent Thin Client

Japan’s Small Transparent Displays Marketed by German Firm

Nice writeup on Sixteen:Nine on real time translation and transparent displays

Here are the key points:

Transparent Displays: Data Modul is marketing transparent screens developed by Japan Display Inc. for real-time visual translation
Applications: These displays can be used in places like ticket counters, government offices, and healthcare settings to facilitate communication between people who speak different languages.
Specifications: The displays come in 12 and 21-inch versions with resolutions of 1440×540 and 1280×720 pixels, and transparency levels of 84% and 90%, respectively
Use Cases: Ideal for busy spots like mass transport hubs, amusement parks, and hospitals where language barriers are common.

Reference: sixteen-nine.net

Excerpt:

The new Data Modul displays, developed by Japan Display Inc., can enable things like real-time visual translation. The idea is that for processing applications for things like passports and visas, or getting directions to train platforms, the interchange can be handled on both sides of the counter in a preferred language – with the selected language appearing simultaneously on both sides of the transparent display.

The TFT LCD displays have 12 and 21-inch versions. The resolution is 1440×540 pixels for the smaller model and 1280×720 pixels for the larger one, with transparency levels of 84% and 90% respectively.

HP Thin Client News – t755 and t655 Released

HP Thin Client Announcements

A couple of new HP thin clients announced. Pretty zippy 755 supporting up to six video streams. And then the 655 which is the nod top PCoIP (only 3 video streams).

This would work pretty nicely for digital signage or in healthcare. Start around $550 and figure $900 for the 755.

t755 HP Thin Client Announcement

HP Elite t755 Thin Client announced with AMD Ryzen embedded CPU and compact form factor (not released yet but expect $900)

The HP Elite t755 Thin Client is now official. It runs a custom Windows 10 version and comes with a laundry list of security protections, making it ideal for enterprise environments. It will be available for purchase sometime in January 2024.

HP has unveiled a new small-form-factor PC tailor-made for enterprise operating environments. Unlike off-the-shelf SFF PCs, the HP Elite t755 Thin Client comes with unique hardware and software features that would be of little use outside niche environments. Furthermore, it runs a custom version of Windows 10 for IoT devices. It is only 50 x 210 x 210 mm in size and can fit just about anywhere on a desk. One can purchase it on HP’s website starting in January 2024.

The HP Elite t755 Thin Client feature an AMD Ryzen V2546, a 6-core/12-thread, 35-52 W TDP Zen 2 APU designed for embedded devices. One can pair it with a default Radeon iGPU or upgrade to a Radeon RX 6300 dGPU (2 GB VRAM). The system supports up to 32 GB of DDR4 3200 memory via SODIMM slots. For storage, there are 2 M.2 slots; one can be configured with up to a 256 GB NVMe SSD and the other 512 GB.

Other HP Elite t755 Thin Client specs include Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, support for up to six 4K 60 FPS simultaneous video streams, and two optional I/O slots at the back, one of which can accommodate another GPU. At the front, there’s a 1x USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C port, 2x USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A port, and a 3.5 mm combo jack. Rear I/O is limited to 4x DP 1.2 ports, 4x USB-A (2.0) ports and an RJ45 Ethernet jack.

Noted on Notebookcheck.net

t655 HP Thin Client Announcement

HP tz655 Trusted Zero Client launched with PCoIP and PCoIP Ultra support (as low as $550)

The HP tz655 Trusted Zero Client has been officially unveiled. It uses a low-power AMD Ryzen R2314 chip with 8 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage in a compact form factor chassis.

HP has announced another small-form-factor PC alongside the HP Elite t755 Thin Client. The HP tz655 Trusted Zero Client is targeted towards use in government establishments. It is somewhat limited in its hardware capabilities, but that is to be expected from this class of devices. One can purchase the HP tz655 Trusted Zero Client starting in March 2024 from HP’s website.

An AMD Ryzen™ Embedded R2314 (4-core/4-threads, max 35 W TDP) powers the HP tz655 Trusted Zero Client. One can pair it with up to 8 GB of DDR4 3200 memory and 32 GB of eMMC storage. dGPU options are unavailable, thereby restricting the number of simultaneous 4K 40 FPS video streams to three via the included DP1.2 ports.

The HP tz655 Trusted Zero Client’s lacklustre hardware is compensated by its support for PCoIP and PCoIP Ultra standards, which allows it to connect to a more powerful device. For I/O, there’s a USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C port, 2x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports and a 3.5 mm combo audio jack at the front. On the rear, there are 4x USB 2.0 Type-A ports, an RJ45 Ethernet jack and an empty slot that can be populated with an extra USB-C port.

Browser Trackers Are Eating Your Lunch!

Trackers Can Eat You Alive! Browser Personal Information

From LinkedIn

It’s common to assume that by browsing the internet companies are collecting boatloads of personal information about you and your devices.

If you go to Amazon and buy some toothpaste via their app or browser, then like idiots there will be ten different sites that start showing you ads for toothpaste.

No thanks, I just bought some…

Paranoids like me tend to torque down our browsers and refuse Javascript or cookies. Many sites stop functioning and become inaccessible.

Accessibility should be provided to all whether or not we want our personal information harvested right? Then it becomes inaccessible. Maybe the WCAG testers missed that.

Simple Things to Do

Don’t use Chrome (or Outlook for that matter)
Don’t sign up with your real email. Use a proxy.
My email address is [email protected] — Duck sanitizes it for me before forwarding onto my real address.
Some of the better options than Chrome are Firefox, Opera, Brave (though I heard they laid off some people) and MS Edge.
On the mobile I use DuckDuckGo (they don’t support my Linux desktop yet).
Block the trackers on your mobile phone with Duck
There will be situations where the VPN may not like browsing external sites with poor credentials. Example was me trying to use the airport Wifi at Tulsa International. No way Duck would let me. Solution? I couldve turned duck off but instead opted for nice fast 3G from T-Mobile. Worked great and might even be faster than the WiFi (almost 100 Mbps is fair especially for Oklahoma…:-)
It may be time to consider a Chromebook or Linux machine to increase your safety factor. I manage a group on Thin Clients and lots of choices. These days speed of application comes down to speed of your internet connection (unless you are running Windows)

Here are a few pictures for context, real context. These are from my mobile phone this morning October 10th. First one is the main screen showing 36,000 blocks in the last 7 days. Bear in mind that most of that time I was at a KOA campground on a bare minimum internet connection (1.1 Mbps)

Okay, that kind of sets the table I think. Here is a closer look at what they want from my Android phone (Pixel4)

As a PSA I just posted a note on HIPAA and Costco. Costco sued for HIPAA. Allowed Meta to track users on website.

https://www.seattletimes.com/business/costco-accused-of-violating-online-customer-privacy/

I have the Costco app on my phone. I rarely ever use it (or the website for that matter). Anyway I thought I would open it and navigate to 2 or 3 places and see what was tracked. I went to Shop, then Pharmacy, and then Travel. 360 blocks from just 4 clicks.

Conclusion?

Never underestimate the tech companies. As Nick Danger used to say Relentless. They really aren’t much different than the Russian or Chinese hackers trying to install ransomware on your corporate computers.

This is an article by Kiosk Kiosks so a photo of some kiosks is mandated to appear relevant. Here is partial photo of CLEAR line at DIA and TSA Pre on Thursday morning at 6:30am. Line of machines twice as long.

Cloud Computing Provisions in National Defense Authorization Act

Analysis of the FY 2023 NDAA appears to show some cloud-related work.

The annually-passed National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) often contains provisions dealing with the procurement and use of technology by the Department of Defense (DOD) and other federal agencies. The NDAA for Fiscal Year 2023, passed in mid-late December, was no exception, containing several provisions dealing with cloud computing. Today’s post continues an analysis of that legislation (begun last week with this post on inflation) for potentially useful information.

Support for R&D of Bio-Industrial Manufacturing Processes

Section 215 concerns the esoteric subject of R&D for bio-industrial manufacturing. Directing the Secretary of Defense to support “the development of a network of bio-industrial manufacturing facilities to conduct research and development,” the provision outlines that such support “may consist of funding one or more existing facilities or the establishment of new facilities.” These facilities will facilitate the creation of “materials such as polymers, coatings, resins, commodity chemicals, and other materials with fragile supply chains.”

Cloud computing likely comes in with the provision’s demand that the DOD establish “an interoperable, secure, digital infrastructure for collaborative data exchange across entities in the bio-industrial manufacturing community, government agencies, industry, and academia.” While not explicitly mentioning cloud, past collaborative research efforts along these lines have tended to leverage cloud infrastructure for the dissemination of data. One can look at research on cancer at the National Cancer Institute and on meteorology at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for examples. Other examples can be found in the annual budget supplement put out by the Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) program, too. Call it a hunch that this effort results in cloud-related work.

Plan for Commercial Cloud Test and Evaluation

Section 1553 instructs the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with industry, to “implement a policy and plan for the test and evaluation of the cybersecurity of the clouds of commercial cloud service providers that provide, or are intended to provide, storage or computing of classified data of the Department of Defense.” The final plan adopted is supposed to include a “requirement that future contracts with cloud service providers for the storage or computing of classified data … permit[s] the Secretary to conduct independent, threat-realistic assessments of the commercial cloud infrastructure

Clauses will be inserted into contracts with CSPs handling classified data giving the DOD permission to access and test the cloud infrastructure being used to house the classified data in question. This provision appears to be related to the forthcoming Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program. Presumably, the first contracts that will see these new provisions will be those awarded for the Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability. I don’t have access to a copy of the finalized contract to confirm if a similar clause is not already in those documents.

Demonstration Program for Component Content Management Systems

Section 917 orders the DOD Chief Information Officer to carry out a pilot program that demonstrates “the application of component content management systems to a distinct set of data of the Department.” The use of cloud-based content management systems is growing rapidly across the federal government so I’m willing to bet dollars to donuts that the CMS piloted will be a cloud-based capability hosted by one of the JWCC CSPs. This would be the path of least resistance. If that isn’t the route taken then industry partners should keep an eye open for a Sources Sought notice this fiscal year.
