abarbarian Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Raspberry Pi 4 8GB £74 4GB £54 2GB £34 Those are not bad prices for a entry level pc.The good old PI has come a long way since it was first released. This might be of interest to folk in warmer climates, Fan SHIM for Raspberry Pi Quote Make your Raspberry Pi 4 seriously cool with Fan SHIM! This 30mm no-solder, controllable CPU fan with RGB LED and tactile switch will give your Raspberry Pi significantly better thermal performance. It's whisper-quiet too! Fan SHIM uses a friction-fit header, so it just slips onto your Pi's pins and it's ready to go, no soldering required! Note that, due to the height of the fan, if you want to use HATs or pHATs with Fan SHIM, then you'll need to use a booster header. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Very cool. They sure have come a long way. I still have one of the original B models with 256mb ram and now they offer an 8gb model. I still have a couple of 1gb RPi 3s as well (one running Pi-Hole DNS for my network). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunrat Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 They definitely have matured well and could take the place of a lot of other larger computers for most tasks. I've considered one for ages but the only thing I'd use it for would be a media player and my old LG G3 phone does a great job at that. Plus I have 2 desktops, a notebook, and an old EeePC.

securitybreach Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I just noticed that Raspbian is now called Raspberry Pi OS https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspberry-pi-os/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachy Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 The nice thing is that Canonical now supports the Raspberry Pi. They have a 64-bit Focal Fossa server image now and last week they said they will be bringing out soon the Raspberry Pi Desktop edition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abarbarian Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 This Anti-Tracking Tool Checks If You’re Being Followed Quote The Raspberry Pi-powered device can scan for phones around you. If it keeps spotting the same one, it’ll send you an alert. Quote The anti-tracking tool, which can sit inside a shoebox-sized case, is made up of a few components. A Raspberry Pi 3 runs its software, a Wi-Fi card looks for nearby devices, a small waterproof case protects it, and a portable charger powers the system. A touchscreen shows the alerts the device produces. Each alert may be a sign that you are being tailed. Neat use for a Pi an on the cheap too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
