Chipnetics Computing has just launched a kickstarter for multiple versions of a GBS-Control solution, one of which includes an auto-switch. The products look cool, but I have quite a few reservations about it. Let’s take a look… The first version of the product they’re selling is something called the “Slipgate”, which is $135 and appears […]
