With the #RaspberryPi5 releasing, don't forget how they boasted about hiring an ex surveillance cop, then ridiculed the people who criticized them for it.
Also remember how you weren't able to buy a Pi for months because they prioritized supplying their business customers.
I'm not buying #RaspberryPi products any longer, nor do I recommend them to my friends and clients. The Pi Foundation has become seriously out of touch.
Look I’d love to get a new #RaspberryPi5 - I love playing with this sort of tech. I have a few older ones kicking around still too! But I won’t be buying one because I don’t like to support a company that belittles people for taking an ethical stance against hiring known surveillance police to help support that particular market. It was dismissive, exclusionary, and pushing minority groups out of making spaces. And they still don’t think they’ve done anything wrong.
Der #Raspberry Pi 5 sollte ca. ab 23. Oktober verfügbar sein. So das versprechen vieler Shops. Aber überall in Deutschland: Nicht verfügbar. Infos zur Lieferung / Datum nicht aktualisiert.
Happy New #RaspberryPi5 Day! It's been four years in the making, but the successor to the Raspberry Pi 4 is here - and it's a beast. The new BCM2712 chip is faster, it's got full-bandwidth USB 3.0 ports, PCI Express at one end, dual-camera support, and there's even a real-time clock.
If your first thought when you hear that a company that makes computers and writes curricula that trains kids how to use computers proudly hired a spy cop and gave the middle finger to those who raised ethical concerns is to defend the company and the spy cop in question, you should take a moment, stop what you’re doing, and give yourself a firm slap in the face.
It won’t change anything but it’ll make me feel better at least.
Petit point sur le #RaspberryPi5 après 2 soirées passées à jouer avec sous @ManjaroLinuxARM : Tout marche remarquablement bien, ce qui est vraiment étonnant sur une machine à peine sortie dont tous les pilotes ne sont pas forcément "matures"et avec une distro #Linux tierce.
The newly announced #RaspberryPi5 looks really cool, but I have to admit that I'm a little disappointed the form factor is going to change enough that I probably won't be able to swap out the #Pi4 in my #Mycroft#Mark2 easily. Upgrading the #SSD has been really helpful, but faster RAM, faster USB, and a just straight up faster system would have been really a welcome change. I guess I'll just have to stick to my plan of offloading some services from the device to see if it's enough.
When I take a bit of a break from The Amp Hour, it sure is nice to return with a bang! I talked with James and Liam of the @Raspberry_Pi hardware group about the #RP1 custom silicon going on the #RaspberryPi5.
Thoughts and prayers (but no more carbonated soft drinks) for @lproven who has just posted this on The Register:
The new Raspberry Pi 5 – which, we can exclusively reveal today, does not cope well with having cola spilled over it so readers may not see a long-term test of the device
Yay, I received my Raspberry Pi 5! Original shipping estimate was back in October. I ordered this one without a plan for it because last time I waited to buy a 4 and they became very hard to get.
