Wasted a whole bunch of hours trying to get the 5Gz #wifi working on #RaspberryPi5 and #Ubuntu. Turns out that combination doesn't work as of now with the stock hardware. Added a post about it.

I'd like to install #Debian on my #RaspberryPi5.

https://raspi.debian.net/faq/ says, "We cannot plan for including RPi5 support at least until regular, upstream, mainline Linux kernels are able to boot on it." That's perfectly fair.

I wonder how close we are to having mainline #Linux kernels that work on the #RPi5? I see kernel 6.17 is now available in Unstable.

Among other distributions, it's supported by RaspberryPiOS (of course) and Ubuntu.

Whoever designed those tiny HAT cables for #RaspberryPi5 are a freaking sadist.

Lilbits: Raspberry Pi hikes prices due to rising RAM costs, Netflix ends (most) Google Cast support, and MyArcade launches two Sonic the Hedgehog-themed game systems

With tech companies investing heavily in building out the infrastructure for AI systems that you may or may not have asked for, prices for certain PC components have shot through the roof as manufacturers struggle to keep up with demand. GPUs were the first casualty, and now RAM and SSDs are seeing major price hikes as well.

While that’s most likely to take a toll on your wallet if you’re […]

Raspberry Pi is raising the price of most Raspberry Pi 5 models due to increased LPDDR4 RAM costs, but also introducing a new entry-level $45 model with 1GB of RAM. Raspberry Pi 4 models with 4GB or more are also seeing price increases. https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/1gb-raspberry-pi-5-now-available-at-45-and-memory-driven-price-rises/ #RaspberryPi #RAM #RaspberryPi4 #RaspberryPi5
