Although [Thomas] really likes the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 and the RP2350 MCU, he absolutely, totally, really doesn’t like the micro-USB connector on it. Hence he jumped on the opportunity to source a Pico 2 clone board with the same MCU but with a USB-C connector from AliExpress. After receiving the new board, he set about comparing the two to see whether the clone board was worth it after all. In the accompanying video you can get even more details on why you should avoid this particular clone board.
Two months ago, we announced increases to the prices of some Raspberry Pi 4 and 5 products. These were driven by an unprecedented rise in the cost of LPDDR4 memory, thanks to competition for memory fab capacity from the AI infrastructure roll-out.
The Raspberry Pi has been a revolutionary computer in the maker space, providing a full Linux environment, GUI, and tons of GPIO and other interfacing protocols at a considerably low price. This wasn’t its original intended goal, though. Back in the early 2010s it was supposed to be an educational tool for students first, not necessarily a go-to for every electronics project imaginable. As such there are a few issues with the platform when being used this way, and [Vin] addresses his problems with its power management in his latest project.
Setting up access to a headless Raspberry Pi is one of those tasks that should take a few minutes, but for some reason always seems to take much longer. The most common method is to configure Wi-Fi access and an SSH service on the Pi before starting it, which can go wrong in many different ways. This author, for example, recently spent a few hours failing to set up a headless Pi on a network secured with Protected EAP, and was eventually driven to using SSH over Bluetooth. This could thankfully soon be a thing of the past, as [Paul Oberosler] developed a package for SSH over USB, which is included in the latest versions of Raspberry Pi OS.

Specifically I’m using the OrangePi Zero 2W and the Banana Pi M4 Zero (both are Pi Zero form factor), but I figure if it works in a Raspberry Pi it should work in these. Wondering if they’re worth the cost, if they work at all, and/or if it’s just asking for trouble.
Public safety rules should be dull in the best possible way. Clear. Predictable. Written by people who understand what actually causes harm in a crowd of thousands. New York City usually gets this right. It has decades of muscle memory for doing hard things in public, under pressure, without panicking.
Which is why the prohibited items list for the January 1, 2026 NYC mayoral inauguration block party seemed… off
Before the Raspberry Pi came out, one cheap and easy way to get GPIO on a computer with a real operating system was to manipulate the pins on an old parallel port, then most commonly used for printers. Luckily, as that port became obsolete we got the Raspberry Pi, which has the GPIO and a number of other advantages over huge desktop computers from the 90s and 00s as well. But if you really miss that form factor or as yearn for the days of the old parallel port, this build which puts a Raspberry Pi into a mini ITX desktop case is just the thing for you.
If you do, then you’re in luck, thanks to the Suptronics X1013 expansion board for the Raspberry Pi 5, which adds ten USB ports for a total of fourteen

I’ve found that my Pi 400’s built in web browser is almost unusable with bloaty script-heavy sites, so I’m wondering if the Pi 5 or 500+ is any better. There would be an NVMe SSD present if that helps.
Raspberry Pi’s Tom Dewey released today the first update to the major Raspberry Pi Imager 2.0 series of this cross-platform utility for installing Raspberry Pi OS and other operating systems to a microSD card.
Less than two weeks after the November release, Raspberry Pi OS received its December update with a collection of usability improvements, desktop refinements, and important stability fixes.
“The current pressure on memory prices, driven by competition from the AI infrastructure roll-out, is painful but ultimately temporary,” CEO Eben Upton wrote in a blog post. He also said that the company looks forward to “unwinding these price increases once it abates.”
Raspberry Pi announced today a new variant of the latest Raspberry Pi 5 single-board computer with 1GB RAM to provide the community with more flexibility for their Linux and Open Source projects.
Raspberry Pi Imager, a tool that helps users easily write OS images onto an SD card, which can then be used to boot the Raspberry Pi, has just released version 2.0, now available for download.
After debuting its Debian 13-based release at the start of last month, Raspberry Pi OS—the recommended, freely distributed operating system for all Raspberry Pi devices—has received a new November update that brings desktop improvements, HiDPI enhancements, and upgrades across key system components.
I just got my second RPi5, put LibreElec on it via microSD, and for some reason the boot menu appears and goes through it’s thing first before booting LibreElec. Is there a reason it doesn’t boot straight into LibreElec? How can I have it skip the boot menu screen?
The built-in keyboard on my Pi 500 is acting up and, while I found a way online to fix it that looks simple enough, it’ll be a few days before I have a chance to do it. In the meantime I’ve got another keyboard plugged into a USB port as a substitute.
Raspberry Pi 500+ boasts a high-quality mechanical keyboard with removable keycaps and individually addressable RGB LEDs, an internal M.2 socket pre-fitted with a 256GB Raspberry Pi SSD, and 16GB of RAM.
I'm running octopi on an rpi zero 2 w it had been working flawlessly for weeks until I unplugged it to move the printer. Now it won't connect to Wi-Fi sometimes. If I connect a monitor it will connect. If I connect the monitor after booting it has no network IP address just the 127... Local address. I've gotten it to connect one time without a monitor but it was in the wrong location. I thought it might be proximity related, and it still could be, but that doesn't explain why it doesn't always connect near my Wi-Fi access point where it was working before. I've tried multiple other power supplies and with the printer both turned on and disconnected.
I guess using LVM on an old raspberry pi 3B+ was not the smartest idea :/ ! As expected the pi 3b+ can handle qbittorrent and piHole without to much load average...
I have a pile of hard drives sitting around that need to be securely wiped. Does anyone know of something similar to DBAN or ShredOS for ARM that I can use to turn a Pi into a disk wipe station? It doesn't need to be a dedicated OS, just a package that I can run on top of armbian or whatever.
