Waveshare have a lot of good options these days: https://thepihut.com/collections/adafruit-lcds-displays?sort... I like the look of 1.83" IPS LCD Display Module (240 x 280) for £9. But as another comment already m

I don't use Dolphin so I don't know what this really means in reality but the article states > These are proper release builds however, with the full infrastructure and support that comes with them. They are tagged as releases

The only good thing about not lubricating your drivetrain is that replacing/fixing it won't be so messy!

Please do be careful and monitor the condition of your chain if you're going to deliberately let it degrade. You can cause yourself quite a nasty accident when your chain snaps, or even slips on the teeth at an unfortunate moment. I&#x

Except for idioms like "I've got a guy" where you just mean you've got someone in mind. And that's where I was coming from with "silicon guy" or "hardware guy", "software guy" etc. Just

There's no maybe about it. And it goes beyond greetings. But I do agree it was non-sensical here

I don't think this is the case. Isn't it that "guy" is essentially gender neutral in this context? In the same way you can reasonably say "hi guys" to greet people of any gender. "Silicon person", &qu

Are machine generated podcasts also a thing? My gut feeling is that it would've harder to make passable AI podcasts but I can't give a rational reason why. Spotify would be all over that.

Right, so $80 worth of processing and the HAT itself ($10). $70 is decent.

The temperature inversion effect is more pronounced at 16nm (Pi 5) than older nodes. This results in high VT cells performing better when warmer, the opposite of what we are used to. At the "normal" operating conditions (temp and

They designed and built their own microcontroller. This chasing performance narrative doesn't make sense. And let's be real, it doesn't have 25W power consumption. You can attach enough things to it to get to 25W if you try r

I would like to think it's also partly a message that this move isn't about profit seeking. British companies do not have legal duty to maximise their profit. NYSE investors might not appreciate this foreign idea.

Do you know why that is? The Zero 2 W (and Pi 3) support the 64-bit verison of Raspberry Pi OS. Don't they also run Wayland? Not enough RAM? EDIT: I should have taken a minute to check the Pi OS release notes: > Desktop now runs on

They are 16nm, so yeh, "old". Newer tech means a newer node and considerably more expensive. At which point, why are you buying an SBC over some small intel/amd thing?

But isn't that GDDR option something like 3-4x the bandwidth? So you'd fit far fewer chips to hit the same bandwidth.
