Can anyone tell me if the 400 supports Kali with frame injection, as they say the Pi 4 does? Thinking of a Xmas gift for a security student.

#692This is so very tempting!

#693Can this be used as a keyboard for a PC?

#694Why not 8GB? Shouldn't it Rpi be swappable?

Most people’s TVs at this point are basically a 1080 monitor hooked up to a computer (cable box) so I don’t see this as a big challenge. If a monitor is needed they are quite inexpensive at this point compared to what they used to cost.
The issue is that the Pi uses a relatively uncommon port (mini-HDMI) for their devices, and while the “Christmas Morning” kit that they’re selling includes the correct cable, it would’ve been nice if this larger device upgraded to use the far more common full-sized HDMI port. This way, they could’ve used a cable they likely already had available instead of needing something special or keeping track of a new cable.
Yes! This was such a terrible decision. At a first approximation, 0% of users will use two monitors. Including two HDMI ports on the board was a marketing gimmick ("look ma! two 4K monitors!"), which forced us all into a world of dongles and non-typical cables.

#697I really wish they would have gone for at least one full size HDMI port with the 400. There is room on the PCB for it.

[Unpopular opinion] having been spoiled by a working case† of USB-C, I wish there were 6 of those at the back instead of all the different plugs (save for Ethernet and GPIO)... [Even more unpopular opinion] ... even if they were functionally different and marked explicitly as USB 3 x3, HDMI x2, power x1. † I hear this is not everyone's case, but I just decided to buy a bunch of USB-C whatever cables and stash the old…
I would imagine that a USB-C controller, would add a fair bit to the price, maybe a later SOC will support it.
If I'm not mistaken the power-input is via USB-C: does that imply the existence of a USB-C controller already?

#699It's irrational how much I want this. I don't need it. I already have an absurd number of computers, even more absurd if I include all the SBCs scattered around. And yet I want this anyway.

It's not even mini HDMI. It's micro HDMI. And those cables are insanely fragile. I went through 3 in as many days when I got my Pi 4 recently.
