News about Raspberry Pi 6 and Microcontroller Development
On Thursday, three of the lead Raspberry Pi engineers hosted an AMA on the r/engineering subreddit. Raspberry Pi 6 One of the most interesting tidbits was on the Pi 6. Looking back at previous launches: 2012: Raspberry Pi 2015: Raspberry Pi 2 (+3 years) 2016: Raspberry Pi 3 (+1 year) 2019: Raspberry Pi 4 (+3 years) 2023: Raspberry Pi 5 (+4 years) Following that cycle, one would expect a Pi 6 3-4 years after the Pi 5, which would put it in 2026 or 2027.

He spent two years building a worse watch and a worse Game Boy. He also became an entirely different engineer. Nobody asks a powerlifter why they're lifting something they're just going to put back down.

The Project Isn't the Point. You Are.
"Obsolete" is a marketing word, not a technical one. Your old phone is a processor, GPU, touchscreen, WiFi, and camera that's already paid for. Open the drawer.
