Introducing the Portenta X8 by Arduino Pro
This looks interesting. Portenta X8 is a powerful, industrial-grade SOM with Linux OS preloaded onboard, capable of running device-independent software thanks to its modular container architecture. It offers the best of two approaches: flexibility of usage of Linux combined with real-time applications through the Arduino environment. Leverage Wi-Fi/Bluetooth® Low Energy connectivity to securely perform OS/application […]

I have often wondered why use batteries and not supercapacitors. Supercapacitors are super like Superman or Superwoman. Otherwise, they only would be called “Capacitors.” Right? Where are they “super” and where not? Where can we use them, and how? And the most important question: Are they better than batteries?
