Had a bit of a frightening moment this morning: our #RaspberryPi wouldn't boot. That's annoying because it runs our Pi-Hole. It wouldn't have been so bad if I weren't laden down with a stinking cold and due to cook Easter Sunday lunch as well.
It eventually turned out that the cheap no-name #USB #DiskCaddy had failed in a way that stopped the Pi from booting. I didn't know that was possible. I replaced the disk caddy and now all is well.
Insights welcome!
Hey #Apple... please release an updated #iPod Classic.
My wish list:
* Same size as the “thin” Gen 5.5 (doesn't need to be wafer thin! We want battery life!)
* #Bluetooth audio (needs to work with AirPods etc)
* #USB-C connection, USB 3.x (fast data transfer)
* 256gb - 1Tb versions (upgradable would be awesome but you keep doing you, I guess)
* #MagSafe charging
* #OLED screen, same size as Classic (not using it for movies, or internet etc)
* *NO APPS (please... it's a ‘#headspace' device)
Please, and thank you.
