    @Ympker also has a Pi4, as do I. Problem with the 4 GB RAM model is heating. I suppose the issue will be bigger with 8 GB model.

    Ympker did not have that problem because of his location.

    Depending on where you live, you may or may not be happier with a 4 GB

    Thinking of getting one of the two below:

    https://www.amazon.in/REES52-Raspberry-Armor-Aluminium-Heatsink/dp/B07X5XXKTZ

    Reading the reviews now. Concerned about noise levels from the latter.

    Squats are the new Push-ups

    Great to see this place doing well! I remember when you were first talking about starting it.

    @jamesmd those are pi model 1B's? How do you plan to fix them? Do any work? They have full sized hdmi output right? I might be interested in buying one or two, if you're in the US (not sure). Purpose is to make a TV typewriter for my mom's TV as she is hearing impaired.

    That's a compact re ryzen box on special for $400. Nice alternative to a Mac mini or NUC but not in anything like the sbc space.

  • seenuseenu

    if i want to use pi for only pi-hole, which product do you recommend?
    https://www.pishop.us/product/raspberry-pi-zero/

    also those who used both pi-hole and adguard....which one do you think is better?

    thanks.

    any speculation how soon RPI 5 will be coming and what specs?

    I bench YABS 24/7/365 unless it's a leap year.

    Pico...I'd rather get the version with wifi Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect Board

    Still a fair time out last I checked

    I'm hoping at least for an Rpi 800

    @jamesmd The blogs were interesting until I came across this:
    "I was unable to continue the repairs on the boards with failed Ethernet due to waiting on solder wick to arrive however I found some in a draw! "
    What a lucky draw? Grr. The word is drawer. Which accent drops the "er"?
    Sorry, just one of my many pet peeves, frequently seen on feeBay, along with lense.

    Still read to the end of Part 3, 'cos clever folks can't all speak proper. :p

    It wisnae me! A big boy done it and ran away.
    NVMe2G for life! until death (the end is nigh)
