Both #ThePiHut and #Pimoroni have the @Raspberry_Pi 4, 4GB, in stock right now. Both are based in the UK, but ship worldwide. If you've been looking for a board, here's your first chance. You'll have more and better chances as we move towards Q3. Supply is improving. Both are authorised resellers, so you're buying at RRP. Some restrictions — one per customer, your account in good standing — are in place to avoid scalpers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HrbU2G6fU4

OMG. Boomers and their phone that still make noises. I couldn’t even tell you what my ring tone sounds like. 🤷‍♂️

There are 181 lines of green on @rpilocator right now. That's 3 full pages of in-stock #RaspberryPi boards. I'm sort of calling it at this point, the days of shortage are behind us. https://rpilocator.com/?instock

For everyone that's been saying, "Oh, what about CM4, I can't get CM4!" when I'm saying supply of #RaspberryPi is normalising, go look at https://rpilocator.com/?cat=CM4. There is plenty of CM4 in channel, yes, including the US🇺🇸 where Digikey has literally hundreds of units in stock!

I've seen some folks posting they've already received shipping notifications, or in some cases hardware, over the weekend. But today is the day. #RaspberryPi 5 is now available! #Pi5 https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/raspberry-pi-5-available-now/

Well if it holds up it’s a Nobel prize for them, and maybe the solution to climate change for the rest of us. If it holds up. If it's cheap enough. There's going to be a lot of fuss in the media about this (and rightly so), but bear in mind it hasn't been through peer review yet. So it could just disappear. If you never hear about it again, that's the reason. https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.12008

For folks that have been asking about the new #Pi5 power supply. Our upcoming 27W USB-PD capable USB-C supply can deliver: 5.0A at 5.1V, 3.0A at 9.0V, 2.25A at 12.0V, and 1.8A at 15.0V. It comes with a 1.2m 17AWG captive cable.

Did we get your attention with #RaspberryPi5? In the first of our development diaries which are going to be posted between now and late October, Eben Upton and James Adams talk about the architecture, and how we went about designing the Raspberry Pi 5. https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/james-adams-and-eben-upton-on-designing-raspberry-pi-5/

Right. That’s it. I hate all of the live train time apps for British railways. I’m going to have to write my own that does it properly. Urgh.

The only reason not to demolish every bit of brutalist architecture we built in the post-war period is to serve as a reminder to never build any more of it. Because people will forget how awful it looks, and more importantly how cold and awful it is to live and work in.

Lift-off for the #SpaceX #Starship from Boca Chica, Texas. Successful flight past MaxQ all the way to the end of the first stage burn. They lost multiple Raptors engines on the climb, I counted at least 5 engines down. Then the stack started to Kerbal just before stage separation. The flight was terminated by the FTS.

Still have Clubhouse installed for some reason, haven't used it in ages (to be fair I don't think I ever used it). Saw the icon had changed, tapped it, and couldn't work out their pivot. Read this article, still don't understand what their pivot is? 🤷‍♂️ https://techcrunch.com/2023/09/06/clubhouse-is-trying-to-make-a-comeback/

We’re now far enough along the adoption curve for #AI that we’re seeing the collapse of the smoke and mirrors stage, as we enter the trough of disillusionment. https://gizmodo.com/amazon-reportedly-ditches-just-walk-out-grocery-stores-1851381116

I've just found out we make a micro-HDMI to VGA cable. Apparently, we did a run for a customer and we've still got some. We should sell this? Would folks want this for their @Raspberry_Pi? #RaspberryPi #RaspberryPi4 #HDMI #VGA

Getting on a plane to the States on Sunday, and I've just realised that every single American will greet me with "What did you think of the Coronation?"🤦‍♂️

Overclocking and underclocking the #Pi5. Looks like I don't have to write that post now, thanks

I touched very briefly on regulation of #AI during my #NDCOslo keynote yesterday, and then this morning I saw this from #OpenAI. We saw very similar reactions from the Valley to #GDPR. https://www.reuters.com/technology/openai-may-leave-eu-if-regulations-bite-ceo-2023-05-24/

Okay Google. You know who I am, I'm logged in. I'm using Chrome, I'm also logged into Chrome. Why when I'm abroad do you insist on using not-English. I'm searching for hotels in London, and you're pricing things in Danish Kroner just because I happen to be in Copenhagen!? WHY?
