As I find new Raspberry_Pi 5 news stories and products I am updating the Tom's Hardware Live Blog. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/live/raspberry-pi-5-launch We will also be running a few more tests and posting the results there.

@biglesp how does the combined DSI/CSI ports work.
Can the same cables be used?
Will new cables be needed?
Or will totally new Displays and Camera be required?

@winkleink@mastodon.social avatar

@biglesp Thanks.
Looks like RPT were thinking about these connectors back in the PiZero days.

Dual DSI display for Signage.
Dual CSI cameras for AI Vision.

Suspect for most 'normal' people a USB camera will be an option.

It's Friday, so that means another "Tale From Tech Support" on my blog. Enjoy!

@popey I remember in a computing magazine in the 90 an article where a reporter shadowed a field tech support person.
Main takeaway was if the person was a fault they were usually more horrible to deal with while if it was a genuine technical problem they were more relaxed.

Did my time doing phone support around then and definitely rings true.

Had my iPhone 13 Mini since June last year. Just noticed the battery maximum capacity is now 87%. Apple support ran diagnostics remotely (which was neat and easy to do) and said this is normal. Is around one per cent per month drop in capacity about right?

@popey Have you 'Optimised Battery Charging" on?

iPhone SE at 85% after 2 years.

I leave mine plugged in most of the time. (I know, not ideal but, old habits....)

@nixCraft A Raspberry Pi GPIO cable.
At least the jumper is set right to make it easy.

@racesimcentral Motorsport Games feel like smoke and mirrors for the past few years. Hopefully, the changes coming in now are to stabilise and build a viable business so we can all continue to enjoy their sim racing games.

@popey of the smartphones I’ve had my favourite was the HTC Windows Phone. I had a few Blackberry phones before that and iPhones since.
First phone was Bosch branded phone that I bought as part of a charity donation scheme. Didn’t need it, but nerd….

my least favorite category of pitch is "incredibly successful rich person finds work/life balance" because it's never, ever about the vast resources the person in question can command to do so (domestic help, child care, coaching, etc.)

obviously, we'd all rebalance our lives if we could just outsource more tasks

@winkleink@mastodon.social avatar

@exchgr @mimsical I read it and my takeaway was work like a slave until you can coast by outsourcing the crappy bit.
Also, gaming the system (sumo champion) isn’t a valid win.
I’m still working away
