    @geniusmusing The review sounds very good. I think I should add Orange Pi 5 to my "try this" list. I bought an #Orange_Pi 0, but it tends to overheat, so its utility is limited.

    @simsa04 Let me start by asking what your nephew likes and what accessories they got besides the !RasPi. Do you know whether it is a #Raspberry_Pi 0, or 3, or 4?

    RP @simsa04: My 9 yo nephew got a Raspberry Pi for Christmas and I'm tasked by my sis – thank you for that, moron! – to give him deeper insight into the machine and what can be done with it.

    I don't know why he needed one nor why his parents chose that as a gift as my nephew already writes his little Scratch programs on his laptop, but here we are. So, dear #fediverse people, please point me to guides that explain what the machine does, what kids can do with it taht makes some fun and how to do that. And also how to present the output of the thing on the display of my newphe's laptop.

    Thank you in advance. !RasPi

    Speaking of #Raspberry_Pi, the supply situation looks to be improving and should be normal by the second half of 2023.

    > For a variety of reasons, we leave 2022 with much better visibility of our future silicon supply chain than we entered with. As a result, we can say with confidence that, after a lean first quarter, we expect supply to recover to pre-pandemic levels in the second quarter of 2023, and to be unlimited in the second half of the year.

    The official !RasPi account on the official #Raspberry_Pi #Mastodon instance got crossways with a lot of people today. I don't know if it will be enough to make a noticeable dent in the demand for their products, but they have definitely made some former customers consider other #SBCs instead.

    I just looked at Pi 0 prices. #Raspberry_Pi 0 W is $78-$99 if you can find it. Raspberry Pi 0 2 W was even more, again if you can find it. The original 0 listed at $5.

    I'm glad there's a 0W and a 0 2W waiting for me at home.

    Hopefully, I still remember what I wanted them for when I get there.

    This is interesting. I'd like to see a comparison between the 8GiB RAM versions of the #Odroid M1 and the !RasPi 4. I don't know what the #raspberry_pi 4 lists at, but when I bought a couple, they were around the same price.

    After both Iceloops and myself found our Odroid XU4 #SBCs overheating, despite coming with a fan already, I've started to wonder whether Hardkernel designs its boards too close to the limitations of the chips.

    This looks like a nice little project for Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4. It is a two-drive #NAS that runs on standard !RasPi operating systems instead of some storage vendor's proprietary OS.

    It is still in development, not a finished product, and is targeted at tinkerers.

    I've been talking with @1iceloops123@shitposter.club about Raspberry Pi 4, Quartz64, Rock Pi 4, and similar devices. Frankly, for a low-income person, he's getting too excited, as it will take him some time to purchase whatever devices he finally chooses.

    I offered to send a !RasPi Zero that I have lying around, but he said no. Now I'm going to put it to use myself. I just have to decide what to do with it.

    (I generally try to keep one unused around, because historically, I get an idea, then I order stuff, and when everything has arrived weeks later, the project is no longer at the front of my mind.)
