After just over four years, today will be my last day at @Raspberry_Pi. It’s been a great place to work! I’ve really enjoyed my time there and hope I’ve visibly made some difference to the quality of writing and documentation around the products. Because documentation is always just about helping people get things done.

Yup. A year on, you should still just buy that Brother laser printer that everyone else buys. https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/2/24117976/best-printer-2024-home-use-office-use-labels-school-homework

We’re now far enough along the adoption curve for 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

It took me a little while to get around to it, but I've finally updated the "how to build a cluster" tutorial on the @Raspberry_Pi site for Raspberry Pi OS #Bookworm. So if you want to take a go at building your own #bramble, now you can! https://www.raspberrypi.com/tutorials/cluster-raspberry-pi-tutorial/

Well, that explains that then. No, my phone isn't broken. Apple broke haptics in iOS 17. https://www.reddit.com/r/iphone/comments/16o4rwv/has_the_vibration_and_haptic_feedback_gotten/

So I'm currently poking at the RISC-V tooling on MacOS. In theory the RISC-V tools package in Homebrew should be compiling with multilib enabled by default, but I don't seem to end up with a riscv32-unknown-elf-gcc binary? Anyone know what's going on? https://github.com/riscv-software-src/homebrew-riscv

If the top Google link(s) that answer a question is a YouTube video(s), I'm probably going to write an article on it after I figure out WTF I'm doing. Then I'll earn more than your YouTube video did. For the love of the little gods, video first is not the answer! 🙄

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.

The thing that is annoying me today? Having to explain for the nth-million time that a charger is not a power supply. They're designed differently. Chargers are designed to provide constant current, power supplies are designed to provide constant voltage.

Today we have double standards, is that better than having a double PE lesson? Time to get stuck into the Raspberry Pi Connector for PCIe and the new HAT+ Standard. #RaspberryPi #Pi5 #PCIe #HATplus https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/double-standards/
