    https://youtu.be/nBtOEmUqASQ The !RasPi 5 is coming. Jeff Geerling tells us about it.

    I think I like my #Orange_Pi 5 better. We’re past the point where just having the #Raspberry_Pi name was good enough. I’m also looking at a #Banana_Pi model with 4GiB of RAM, mostly as an equivalent of the RPi 4.

    As you may know, there has been a long shortage of #RPi boards, enabling other #SBCs to proliferate. Also, there was an issue where they hired a former surveillance cop, then mishandled their response to the community that was justifiably concerned about it.

    S from work is still excitedly taking about the !RasPi 0w that I sent her.

    If I knew it would give her so much joy, I would have sent one years ago.

    I wish more !RasPi type SBCs were available locally. I had an idea for running an #MQTT broker / server https://mqtt.org/software/ , but it took so long to get a #Raspberry_Pi Zero Two and an #Orange_Pi Zero Two that I've forgotten why I bought them. (More than a month for the RasPi.)

    I have a !RasPi Zero that I bought together with a board that's supposed to give serial-over-USB access (and I think also give the #RasPi NAT'd network access through your laptop). That board broke during travel, so I may repurpose the SBC once I find it again.

    @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.

    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.
