Trying to be better at posting more regularly, and what better way to train myself than a daily thread of stuff I've written?
To start: a near-future-gazing piece which predicts price rises to come for the #RaspberryPi and other single-board computers, thanks to the "AI" industry's insatiable demand for RAM.
Next up, #Prusa's announcement that all its 3D-printing filaments will come on "smart spools" - but it's not locking things down, it's launching a new open ecosystem dubbed OpenPrintTag. It'll be interesting to see where this goes!
The Bluetooth SIG has hit its new bi-annual release schedule with a couple of months to spare: #Bluetooth Core 6.2 is out now, with latency-reducing and security-enhancing new features for Bluetooth Low Energy.
Absolutely fantastic news from @ricci: the discovery of a tape reel which, it's hoped, contains the only known surviving complete copy of UNIX V4 - the first version to be written in C.

Also on the topic of classic computing, a look at a project to create a 386 PC emulator capable of running on an #Espressif ESP32 microcontroller - powerful enough, incredibly, to run Windows 95 with acceptable performance!

And finally, something for those with #3DPrinting capabilities and a blank bit of wall: a wall-mount arcade cabinet, powered by a #RaspberryPi or mini-PC, with quick-change control panels - easily swapped out for the needs of particular titles, from traditional joystick control to a full keyboard-and-mouse setup.
