MangoPi MQ Quad is a tiny PC with an Allwinner H616 quad-core processor (Raspberry Pi Zero sized)

 

MangoPi’s latest single-board computer is a Raspberry Pi Zero clone called the MangoPi MQ Quad . 

It features a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor, 1GB of RAM, a microSD card reader, USB Type-C and mini HDMI ports, and support for WiFi 4 and Bluetooth.

At the heart of the tiny computer is an Allwinner H616 processor, which is a chip the company has used before, for an SD-card computer-on-a-module .

This time MangoPi is offering a more versatile solution that not only has a set of ports for connecting power, display, and peripherals, but also a 40-pin, Raspberry Pi-compatible GPIO header.

Measuring 65 x 30mm (2.6″ x 1.2″), the little board is also roughly the same size as a Raspberry Pi Zero, which could make it something close to a drop-in solution for projects designed for that hard-to-get-your-hands-on board.

While the MangoPi Quad isn’t quite as unique as the company’s other Raspberry Pi Zero clone (the

MQ Pro, which has an Allwinner D1 RISC-V processor), it should have better out-of-the-box software support due to its ARM-based processor.

The board should be able to support Ubuntu, Armbian, and other GNU/Linux-based operating systems that support the Allwinner H616 processor, as well as the Tina-Linux embedded software designed for devices with Allwinner chips. Android images will also most likely be released.

Arthritis Pill Now Helps Regrow Hair in Alopecia

Here's a drug repurposing story that actually has real numbers behind it. Upadacitinib , a pill already prescribed for rheumatoid arthritis, just showed it can help regrow hair in people with alopecia areata, the autoimmune condition that causes round, sudden bald patches. The drug works by blocking JAK enzymes, which are part of the signaling pathways that drive immune responses. That's the same mechanism that calms joint inflammation in arthritis, and it turns out it also seems to calm whatever's attacking the hair follicles in alopecia. Two Phase III trials, nearly 1,400 people total, looked at how many patients regrew enough hair to cover at least 80% of their scalp after 24 weeks. On the 15 mg dose, close to half got there. On the 30 mg dose, it was over 54%. The placebo group? Only about 2%. That's not a small gap, that's the kind of separation that makes a drug worth watching. What stood out to me is the timeline, people started seeing improvement as e...

Browser Extensions Can Steal Everything

Do you know a browser extension can basically steal everything going on in your browser? Honestly, most of us just click “Allow” when the permission popup shows up. We want the tool to work. But with the right (or wrong) permissions, a malicious extension can do a lot more than it claims. It can read every page you visit in real time. Banking sites, email, documents, whatever’s open. It can grab your session cookies — those little tokens that keep you logged in — so the attacker gets in as you without needing your password. It can log every keystroke you type. It can inject code into pages you’re already on, change what you see, or drop a fake payment field on a checkout page. It can even route your traffic through someone else’s server or quietly record conversations you have with AI chatbots. This isn’t theoretical. In April 2026 researchers found 108 malicious Chrome extensions. Telegram tools, video helpers, productivity add-ons — about 20,000 downloads total, all sending dat...
