Packed ready for the #camjam tomorrow.
Bringing mostly the new Pi Pico related stuff to show, but due to travel arrangements, I won't be selling at the jam, althouh do have free UK postage from the website, when you order online.
If you see me there, please say hello.

♟️⚡ What happens when you cross a professional #chess engine with a medical shock device?
One engineer spent months building a custom board that delivers a physical jolt for every tactical error or illegal move. Ready to play "Taser Chess?"

Quick tech update — and an apology.
To everyone who tried to help me troubleshoot Tintin++ and MUD client issues on the Raspberry Pi 500: thank you. I disappeared from those threads and never properly followed up, and I'm sorry about that.
I ended up giving up on using the Pi as my main computer. Between Linux accessibility gaps and ARM package compatibility headaches, I hit a wall.
Right now I'm using my mom's 4 GB RAM laptop running Windows 11 Home and offloading coding work to the Pi over SSH in VSCode. It works… but everything feels like a battle on 4 GB. I don't have half the apps I normally use, and on rough days I can't even decompress with games.
Yesterday we dropped my mini PC off at a local repair shop. The diagnostic fee was $49, which felt reasonable, and the tech has worked on these machines before. That gave me hope.
We should get a call today. I can't wait to have it back.

Kommt auf den #raspberrypi an.
Von 0,5W bis ist xy ist alles drin je nach Typ und Anwendung.
Vor allem wenn da eine Festplatte dranhängt.
Guck aber nicht nur nach Strom.
Alte #Laptop s sind auch Brandbomben.
Das externe Netzteil hat auch Verluste die hinzugerechnet werden müssen. Im Laptop ist ja auch noch eins.
Ein #raspberrypi ist auch wesentlich schneller ersetzt wenn er defekt geht.

Weil grad wieder ein Raspberry Pi Projekt bei mir vorbeifliegt. Kleiner Tipp: eh ihr eine alten Laptop entsorgt, könnt ihr auch den nehmen statt den RasPi. Da ist man dann bei nix eingeschränkt, CPU, RAM, Disk, Netz. Reichlich Anschlüsse.
Nachteile:
- keine digitalen IO Ports, kann entscheidend sein
- 5-10W, je nach Konfiguration und Nutzung statt ... was braucht ein Pi?

Q to the #Homelab community: I've done a #RaspberryPi 4 #NAS before using multiple SSDs, connected to USB and it's worked great. Now I'm planning to set up another RPi4 NAS, but this time using dual 3.5" HDDs - I imagine also connected to USB.
I know 3.5" HDDs are a different beast tho since they require 12V, does anyone know if using a docking station like this by #ORICO would work? I imagine the docking station sorts out the power requirements of the 2x 3.5" HDDs, but I'm wondering if the single USB 3.0 connection to the RPi4 would be fine, or would it 'suffocate' the Pi?
I'm expecting the RPi4 to have 2x USB devices connected to it - one would be the docking station (with 2x 3.5" HDDs), and another USB stick for backups of the microSD card (which is the boot device).

Lilbits: Zinwa’s Android-powered BlackBerry Key2 clone, Razer’s laptop sleeve with wireless charging, and Android 17 Beta 2
A small Chinese team called Zinwa have been making modern BlackBerry-style smartphones in small batches for a little while… first by literally stuffing the actual shells of old BlackBerry phones with modern motherboards running Android software, and more recently by developing new phones with designs that are heavily influenced by BlackBerry.
Now Zinwa has shared a teaser for an upcoming […]
