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. -

Co-worker S called (at 01:00 US-Eastern!) to tell me about her progress with the #Raspberry_Pi Zero I sent.
She also told me that there have recently been severe thunderstorms from #TX to #FL. Those #t-storms have produced some #tornadoes, too. I knew there had been an alert in #MS because I saw someone there discussing it. -

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.) -

@simsa04 Since your nephew already uses #Scratch, you could start here: https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/getting-started-scratch ... but I think he'll need a monitor first.
There are ways to set the Pi up "headless" and then use VNC to export a graphical desktop over a network, but I think most are pretty fiddly and prone to network DHCP changes that require unwanted effort to make it work again. Even so, if you wish to try this with your nephew, see https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/headless-raspberry-pi-setup
Both the RasPi 3 and the 4 have #Wi-Fi and #Ethernet on the model B versions, which are most common. So they can join a home network and even be used to create a hotspot for other computers and devices. ( See https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/setting-up-a-raspberry-pi-3-as-an-access-point/all )
Here are some others, but most seem to need more parts.

@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? -

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.

For my part, I still intend to purchase #Raspberry_Pi products, along with most of the other brands that I've purchased in the past. -

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. -

Having to decide which hardware will be retired and disposed of once I get my stuff out of storage.
Most of the oldest equipment should be able to be replaced by a #Raspberry_Pi or similar SBC. -

You'd think that taking 2 smartphones, 2 tablets, 3 laptops, 2 portable gaming consoles, 1 media player, one digital camera, and 1 #Raspberry_Pi Zero W is excessive the way the #TSA reacts, but if you're an IT person who is likely to be gone for 6 months or more, that's travelling light. -

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.

#Daddy_A reports that he had a reaction to some medication a few days ago and wanted to go to the hospital, but couldn't because his wife was already hospitalized and there was no one to take care of the kids.
I asked #sonTwo to call him and find out what we can do to help, but apparently, he recovered without intervention. (I also mentioned that #sonOne is 2-3 hours away, which is about 3 hours closer than #sonTwo.)
Anyway, he's better now and is repurposing a #Raspberry_Pi 3 that I sent for #A1 into a project combined with an #Arduino UNO R3. -

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. -

I did recently look at #RISC-V SBCs, but they were all fairly expensive crowdsource projects and none of them seemed even comparable to a #Raspberry_Pi.
I saw one board that is supposed to be on a similar level to an #Arduino Duo ... but they didn't say whether it could be programmed with the same Arduino software.
If I can get compute board and not just a microcontroller, I'd like to try to learn some more about programming in a RISC-V environment. -

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.

Looked at #BOINCstats today. Two #RasPi Zero W devices and one original #Raspberry_Pi model B device are completing packets / work units, earning credit, but it hasn't shown up in the overall score yet. I guess the good thing is that they are contributing to various #BOINC projects.
The #XU4 is powered off, so its issues are not relevant to BOINCstats scores or rankings. -

Iceloops made his pi stack work after all. (With the fans and #Raspberry_Pi 4 devices with PoE hats, it wouldn't quite fit, so he removed two layers.) I didn't ask, but I assume these are the devices he named the twins. -

I need to check with #GS2 to see whether he’s continuing to build things with #Raspberry_Pi computers and #Arduino microcontrollers. When he was in #SoCal a few years ago, he was building something or other … until he angered the family members he was staying with. They put him on a plane with just the things he could fit in his backpack.
(He was already an adult, working part-time at a local fast food chain.)
