Taiwanese electronics manufacturer Compal has introduced the Adapt X, a modular laptop concept that takes inspiration from Frameworks user-upgradable design. The Adapt X recently won an iF Design Award, recognizing its innovative approach to modular computing, where users can swap out and upgrade key components rather than replacing the entire device.Much like Frameworks modular laptops, the Adapt X features a repairable and customizable design, allowing users to replace the display, keyboard, battery, and even ports with minimal effort. The goal is to extend the devices lifespan, reduce electronic waste, and give consumers greater control over their hardware. According to Compal, the laptop uses a magnet-based assembly, making it easy to disassemble and upgrade without specialized tools.Recommended VideosWhile the exact specifications remain unclear, the iF Design listing highlights sustainability as a core focus of the Adapt X. The chassis is built with recycled materials, and the modular nature of the laptop means fewer discarded components when upgrading. Hot-swappable ports, a key feature also found in Framework laptops, let users customize their I/O selection depending on their needs.CompalCompal is primarily an original design manufacturer (ODM), meaning the Adapt X might not be sold directly to consumers. Instead, the concept could be licensed or adapted by major PC brands looking to enter the modular laptop market. This wouldnt be the first time a manufacturer experimented with modular designs, but few have achieved mainstream success beyond Frameworks niche market. If Compal or a partner brand brings the Adapt X to market, it could signal growing industry interest in repairable, upgradable laptops. With companies like Dell and Lenovo also experimenting with modular concepts, the success of Framework may be influencing the broader laptop industry. However, whether the Adapt X will make it beyond the prototype stage remains to be seen.Editors Recommendations

2025-03-24T05:53:30Z Read in app Carl Futtrup, a 53-year-old Danish gardener, has been a key link in the supply chain for nets in Ukraine's modern war. Courtesy of Carl Futtrup This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers. Become an Insider and start reading now.Have an account? Ukrainian troops need heavy-duty nets to block enemy attack drones.They're getting over 1,000 tons from Denmark for free, thanks to Brexit and a lone gardener.He and other volunteers are trucking heavy-duty trawl nets stuck in harbors to the front lines.Carl Futtrup is no military man. The 53-year-old gardener spends most days on mowers and tractors, tending to fields in a town on the western edge of Copenhagen, Denmark.But Futtrup, like many Europeans, has kept a close eye on Ukraine since Russia's invasion in 2022 and donated gear to the front lines.Before Christmas last year, he caught wind of an unusual request from Ukrainians in the trenches. They needed nets thick ones strong enough to stop the munition-laden drones that have become the battlefield's leading killer. Soldiers were draping them across fortified positions and combat vehicles as a final defense, and Futtrup heard they were saving lives."They write to me that they want more because, without this, all other donations are worthless," Futtrup told Business Insider.Thyborn, a fishing village of some 2,000 people in Jutland, just happened to have 450 tons of those nets sitting unused at the harbor. These were trawling nets, made of nylon fibers up to four millimeters thick for hauling hundreds of fish at a time from the deep sea.Futtrup found Thyborn's fishermen on Facebook and asked if they were open to making a donation. They agreed.Now, the nets are in Ukraine, being used to snag Russian drones similar to insects on flypaper. They're just the first tranche of what Futtrup and other volunteers hope will be a total of 2.1 million pounds of Danish commercial nets left over from Brexit fishing disputes lining Ukrainian fortifications. Ukrainian soldiers hope nets like Futtrup's will be a final line of defense against drones. Courtesy of Carl Futtrup As drones dominate the battlefield, defensive netting has become a hot commodity on the ground."They're really effective because the drones are still using propellers, and the nets catch the propellers," said Mykhaylo Ardashyn, a senior soldier in the Separate Artillery Brigade of Ukraine's National Guard. "Even after an explosion, the net will not be destroyed or burned completely, and some fibers can still catch other drones."There are times when a snagged drone might even fail to explode, he told BI.Ardashyn, who primarily helps his brigade procure supplies, said Futtrup's donated nets are being deployed on his units' section of the front line. The brigade is fighting near Pokrovsk.Fishing nets aren't new to the war. Ukrainians have been using them in fortified positions since the full-scale invasion began, but primarily to provide camouflage.Recently, Ardashyn said, there's been an increased demand for heavy-duty nets as troops realized they can be a reliable option to counter uncrewed aerial systems. The need is exacerbated by the growing use of fiber-optic drones, which can bypass electronic jamming and have to be blocked or disabled."We are talking about big nets," Ardashyn said. "Not those that people use by hand, but the really big ones, like from ships. The material is strong enough that it can handle a drone falling from the sky."Some units have started draping thick nets on the tree lines along supply routes to hinder ambushes from skilled Russian drone pilots. Others have shrouded their fortified positions completely in netting.Moscow's troops are using them too, said Federico Borsari, a fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis who studies drone warfare in Ukraine."The Russians are using nets to cover entire roads and protect their logistics from Ukrainian first-person view UAVs, with mixed results depending on the area," he told BI. But it's unlikely that either side will have enough time or resources to cover their entire rear with nets, he added.Troops also use them to protect armored vehicles, relying on a combination of nets and metal frames once mocked as "cope cages" to lower the chances of direct impact from a drone. Even a foot or two distance from a vehicle's armored body can reduce a drone's explosive power."The amount of nets needed is increasing exponentially," Ardashyn said. Ukrainians have been using nets to shield their armored vehicles and guns since the start of the war. Courtesy of Carl Futtrup and Mykhaylo Ardashyn Brexit's loss, Ukraine's gainBack in Denmark, Futtrup has been contacting other local harbors and secured another 600 tons of trawl nets to send to Ukraine via truck. He's been speaking with Ukrainian media, such as the Kyiv Post, trying to raise funds from volunteers and the Danish government for transportation.It's a heavy expense for the gardener, with costs for the second shipment totaling about 90,000 euros. Futtrup estimates that each truck can carry up to 20 tons of nets, and each trip will cost about 3,000 euros, or $3,200. A typical trawl net is about 1,300 feet long.The nets themselves are free. Carsten Bach, a parliament member of the Danish right-wing Liberal Alliance opposition party, told BI that most of the donated nets sat in storage for years after Brexit cut off British fishing waters from Danish fishermen. The donated nets were sitting in harbors because Brexit prevented Danish fishermen from using them in British waters, Bach said. Courtesy of Carl Futtrup "Some of the fishermen put a lot of value in these nets. It's quite a large investment for a small company or a single-person fisherman," said Bach, who is his party's spokesman on both defense and food. The fishing industry contributes about 0.75% of Denmark's GDP, but the country is the world's fifth largest exporter of fish products.Bach said many fishermen chose to keep their nets, hoping that a new agreement with the UK could restore access to their old fishing spots.However, Danish environmental laws require such equipment to be disposed of or recycled eventually. And Bach said fishermen typically must pay a large fee for this service.The politician, who is helping Futtrup submit a financing proposal to the Danish government, said it's therefore likely these trawl nets won't be a renewable resource for Ukraine."There will not, in the future, be as large a volume of fishing equipment like this for disposal in Denmark," Bach said.Danish nets won't last foreverStill, Futtrup's nets are supplying at least 13 units on the front lines, said Bernard Christensen, who runs the Swedish non-governmental organization Brave Ukraine."This is our main vein for the foreseeable future," he told BI.Christensen, a Swede living in Ukraine, has been helping brigades find sources for heavy-duty nets. One brigade typically requests about 50 to 80 tons of netting, and they can be difficult to procure locally, he said. Russian-controlled territory blocks much of Ukraine's access to the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.A unit commander overseeing fortifications and mine-laying in the Donetsk direction told BI that his battalion needs about three truckloads, or roughly 60 tons of nets, a month."We have no local sources for these nets, they can only be obtained from abroad," said the commander, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of his work. His identity is known to BI.He said it takes his men about three to four days to set up one truckload, often in miles-long "tunnels" of netting along roads to protect vehicles against drone strikes.But even with volunteer donations, there's barely enough to go around."Many units desperately need these marine nets," he added. The nets discovered by Futtrup are loaded by crane in Denmark, then trucked over to the front lines in Ukraine. Courtesy of Carl Futtrup That means Futtrup's nets will eventually run out, and Christensen must search elsewhere soon. Brave Ukraine is looking to acquire nets from organizations cleaning up the western Swedish coast, he said.Jennifer Kavanagh, director of military analysis at the Washington-based think tank Defense Priorities, told Business Insider that Ukraine's demand for fishing nets is an example of how the fighting there has democratized modern warfare."In the United States, military and political leaders are always searching for the next best weapon or military system, the one platform that will give the United States insurmountable advantages," she said. "But what the Ukraine war has shown is that while these types of high-tech solutions to military challenges have their place, low-tech and inexpensive alternatives can sometimes work just as well."Investing billions of dollars into advanced platforms may not be enough to win a future war, since they might be defeated by a less capable adversary with a simple or cheap defense, she added."Fishing nets might not be the right response for the US military, but in this case and others, the Pentagon should spend more time exploring less advanced options rather than defaulting immediately to complex and bespoke designs," Kavanagh said.Meanwhile, Futtrup said he's pouring his energy into securing the money to truck over the donated nets. He hopes to acquire 50,000 euros from Swedish and Danish government agencies."Ukraine is part of Europe, and the country is only 1,250 kilometers from Copenhagen," he said."As long as there is demand for fishing nets in Ukraine, I will send them, until there is no more to be found in Denmark either," he added.Translation by Sofiia Meleshenko.

Become an Insider and start reading now.Have an account? Mistral's CEO, Arthur Mensch, said countries should develop their own AI infrastructure.Mensch compared AI's economic impact to how electricity transformed the world.The French startup competes with LLM companies like OpenAI, DeepSeek, and Anthropic.Arthur Mensch said that every country should set up its own artificial intelligence infrastructure because of what he expects will be a huge economic shift."It will have an impact on GDP of every country in the double digits in the coming years," Mensch, the CEO of French AI startup Mistral, said in an episode of the A16z podcast uploaded on Thursday.Gross Domestic Product is a common measure of the value of goods and services produced in a country. Mensch said nations that don't set up their ownHe compared AI to the advent of electricity: "100 years ago, if you weren't building electricity factories, you were preparing yourself to buy it from your neighbors, which, at the end of the day, isn't great because it creates some dependencies."The CEO added that AI also differs from electricity in some key areas. It is a content-producing technology that could pass on a country's values and culture, which is why he said AI requires more involvement than electricity.Mensch, who cofounded Mistral in 2023, appeared on theNvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang. The two CEOs agreed that every country needs to find a national AI strategy and build its own AI capabilities because the technology will be used widely, including in public service, agriculture, and defense. Huang has made similar comments before, including directly to government officials.Mistral, founded by former DeepMind and Meta researchers, is building large language models and has released a generative AI chatbot called "Le Chat." It competes directly with OpenAI, Anthropic, and DeepSeek and says its models can run much faster than its peers. One of Europe's most valuable startups, Mistral was last valued at $6.2 billion in a June funding round that included General Capital, Lightspeed, and Andreessen Horowitz. In January, Mensch said he plans to take the company public instead of getting acquired.Mensch also strongly advocates for keeping large language models open-source and reiterated his stance on the podcast. Those who support open source say it allows technology to develop rapidly and democratically since anyone can modify and redistribute the code. On the other hand, advocates for closed-source models, like OpenAI, argue that they're more secure because the code is kept private."Between 2010 and 2020, there was an acceleration of progress because every lab was building on top of each other and that's something that kind of disappeared with the first large language models from OpenLast month, Mensch said Chinese startup DeepSeek's new model was a boost for the open-source world.

Reimagining Gym Spaces: The Rise of Design-Driven Fitness ExperiencesSponsored ContentSave this picture!Courtesy of PENT FitnessAs time progresses, our understanding of the spaces we inhabit evolves in response to changing circumstances. This transformation is natural and essential, as architecture must adapt to the unique demands of each era. Recent global trends, particularly remote work, have highlighted the need for adaptability in design. Coupled with a generational shift that brings fresh perspectives on the built environment, these factors have driven notable changes in interior design, reshaping our understanding of comfortnot just at home but also in gyms, where people now spend more time. This evolution invites a reconsideration of how we engage with our surroundings based on our experiences. As a result, fitness spaces are undergoing an interesting transformation in light of these changing perceptions.Some typologies, such as retail stores and coffee shops, have changed drastically in their fundamental conception, rising to a level where design and the resulting experience become essential factors. New generations are becoming more attuned to their environments, fueling a trend in which the concept of 'experience' plays a pivotal role in all spaces. Gyms have also been part of this transformation, transcending basic configurations oriented to fulfill their purpose to evolve into modern and integral settings, where the focus is on equipment that contributes to the overall atmosphere. This new vision has transformed fixtures from utilitarian objects into design elements, redefining their forms, materials, and textures. PENT Fitness illustrates this approach, with pieces that merge functionality and craftsmanship, offering refined aesthetics that complement the interior design of wellness spaces.Save this picture!What Makes a Gym with a Focus on Fitness Experience Stand Out?It is essential to grasp the characteristics of a contemporary gym that prioritizes user experience. These spaces are increasingly integrated into homes and personal studios, expanding into private facilities to replicate the cozy and intimate environments that users value. This poses the challenge of combining interior aesthetics and materials with traditional equipment, which is often sturdy, industrial in appearance, or excessively colorful. While these fixtures serve their purpose, they can disrupt a cohesive setting.Save this picture!Save this picture!To address this challenge, warm palettes of wood, metal, and even leather have become common features in these environments. In harmony with this trend, manual treadmills and stationary bikes featuring natural wood frames combined with stainless steel ensure durability, while solid bronze and genuine leather accents enhance comfort. The equipment's curved geometry reflects a meticulous design that conveys fluid movement and elegance.This equipment is complemented by minimalist wooden racks and fitness accessory sets in light or black tones. Each item, from kettlebells to yoga blocks to weighted balls, integrates visually with the rest, creating a seamless aesthetic. This consistency extends throughout the PENT Fitness catalog, creating an experience beyond mere functionality. Consequently, these gyms provide a new dimension, featuring spaces meticulously designed to foster physical and mental well-being in interiors.Save this picture!Save this picture!EMSO Studio: A Case Study in Aesthetic and Fitness DesignThe training studio showcases the significant role that fitness equipment plays in enhancing interior design. This space seamlessly integrates gym solutions, fostering a modern atmosphere where each component is integrated. The design consistently employs wood in both the vertical panels and the gym wall bar, which brings warmth and texture to the ambiance. The circular layout of the central area favors a natural flow, complemented by the curved reception area clad in grooved wood, which dialogues with the organic forms of other elements, like the battle gym rope.Save this picture!Training tools as the treadmill and weight bench, are carefully integrated into the interior design to avoid visual interruptions. These are placed in front of a mirror, enhancing the perception of spaciousness. On the adjacent wall, wooden kettlebells and boxing equipment are incorporated into the composition, transforming the wall into an installation rather than a simple display of functional elements. This integration reinforces the relationship between form and function, generating an experience that invites well-being and visual appreciation. The soft lighting highlights the natural tones and textures, creating a calming atmosphere with wall, floor, and ceiling finishes that blend together.Save this picture!This configuration in gyms is likely to become increasingly common, reflecting trends in other industries highlighting experience design. Just as coffee shops ensure that every detailfrom the cup to the baraligns with its surroundings, modern luxury gyms focus on coherence among their elements, including weights and rowing machines. This strategy cultivates an aesthetic and material identity that connects with contemporary lifestyles.To learn more about PENT Fitness and its home gym and personal studio solutions, visit their website or explore the product catalog.Image gallerySee allShow lessAbout this authorEnrique TovarAuthorCite: Enrique Tovar.
