C'mon, a mini-hdmi hdmi cable is 50kr ($5), surely you can just buy one and be done with it, no adapter needed. https://www.netonnet.se/art/ljud-och-bild/kablar/hdmi-kablar...

You make it sound like they are being unreasonable, but just like USB-Micro to USB-C and X to headphone jack, it's a huge inconvenience when you can't find/don't have it to hand. I used to lose the Micro to C adapters all the time, I lost the C to headphone for my OnePlus6T while travelling and was unable to find a replacement so no headphone use for me. Also, I have about 12 Raspberry Pis, as many display devices, a…

So just have the adapters plugged into the Pi all the time. I mean, what else would you use them for? Problem solved, no drama.

Local golang work with docker but mostly as a dumb terminal interfacing with a remote k8s cluster and using the web as a reference.

Can I build and run golang programs natively, or do I need to run them in docker? (I'm new to all this, also unclear on the "dumb terminal interfacing" scenario... is that specific to using Kubernetes?)

> dumb terminal interfacing

I think GP means terminal access through SSH/MoSH

The Raspberry Pi Foundation is a nonprofit.

How are you a non-profit if you pay a salary to you employees and allow your suppliers to make a profit?. They act as a 'low profit' company, but they do make profits.

Do you realise that non-profit means that you just don't have leftover cash at the end of the year in your balance sheet? Non-profits pay their employees and their suppliers, their financial situation has absolutely nothing to do with what you are implying.

This stated intention and rpi.org's actions are simply not isomorphic. If they want to make Raspberry Pi more open, firstly, why do they publish only abridged (read: fake) schematics?

It's just a standard squatted domain, I don't see any spam trap.

The addition of gigabit ethernet and USB 3.0 means that a Pi no longer feels like a bottleneck in one’s home network. I know that the Pi was invented as an educational product, but thanks to the Linux distribution OSMC it is commonly used as a media center for playing films, music, TV, etc. I have had gigabit internet for a few years now, and every day on average, I torrent a Blu-Ray image onto my main computer. Howe…

at 2-4 Gbps maximum because of shared bandwidth, slower than a single USB 3.0

Too bad the USB-C slot is only used for supplying power instead of being a proper Thunderbolt slot with support for acting as a USB device or attaching external PCIe cards. But well, that's a thing for the 4+ then I guess...

Yaeh, it would be awesome if you'd be able to just plug in that RPi into a dock. We're not there yet!

Still I'm very glad to get rid of any and all USB except USB-C.

Depends on what you are doing.

Yes, but you're running off a sloooow sd card which may slow you down a bit if you compile stuff. Other than that it's just a normal linux computer. Mind, I've only done command line and text mode editors, if you want the full desktop and a ram hungry IDE it's going to hurt more.

Another important thing to mention: if you're compiling and logging to the sd card, buy a lot of them because they'll die on you. They're not designed for this many writes.

The Raspberry Pi 4 B uses ARM VideoCore IV. As far as I can find HDR will only come in the updoming VideoCore V. So no. No HDR yet.

That's really too bad. It makes the 4K support useless for building an HTPC, which is a common use for the Pi. As far as I can determine, several of their competitors already support 10bit decoding, although specifics (about stable HDR support) are sometimes hard to come by.

As a fifty seven year old, I don't have 4k eyeballs. agree you have a limitation, not one which is holding me back since osmc does 720p just fine, for Olde telecine mp4s of B&W movies

It feels like every time I get round to doing a project with a Pi they create a new one with literally no indication or advertising. Suddenly out of the blue a new one appears.

I hear you, just bought 4 rpi 3 b+ for a k8s cluster last week and this drops today. Urgh.

I hit this with the release of the model 3.

But it is sort of refreshing not to have the early announcements and then wait for ages for the actual release. And to then either have further delays or find a half finished product that was rushed out to meet some promised deadline. Plus I like waking up to surprise rpi announcements!
