Five generations in and it finally gets radical features such as: - a power button - a real time clock Crazy it took this long but finally, seriously. Downsides here are that it might need more active cooling whereas previous generations worked without it. Also, ugh: > Gigabit Ethernet, with PoE+ support (requires separate PoE+ HAT)
So a Raspberry Pi 27W USB-C Power Supply and they also showing an active cooler. Seems like this thing is running even hotter than the previous version. Btw am I the only one who hates to buy their power supply because the USB-C cable is not removable?
All laptop power supply with USB c have non removable USB c cables. Probably that no one can blame them for burning or low power with third party cables.

I've gone to unholy ends to syncronize large herds of Pis using a patched NTP server and several other dirty tricks. The RTC is a huge deal to the people who care about it.
How many applications would you have where timing is critical but you won’t have an external time reference that would be still viable without a guaranteed power backup?
TBH the thing I hate most about this category of SBC is the reliance on SD cards. They are both too unreliable to trust and so slow that they often bottleneck the SBC. Buying them is often a crap shoot too, I've purchased cards batches of cards from the supposed reputable manufacturers that were all over the board when benchmarked, and rarely did they hit the claimed speed spec. I would love if there was an alternati…
Not going to buy for now but curious if a 16GB RAM version is going to exist.
Not according to the video. 4 or 8GB.

This implies there will be either smaller or bigger SKUs at a later date. The 8 GB SKU of the Pi 4 wasn't available at launch, either.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Just a shame they didn’t add actual POE without extra hardware.
PoE requires a few beefy components that would blow the board size (and BOM) up quite a bit, for a feature probably only 10-20% of users require. I'm happy with a separate accessory, but wish they could've kept compatibility with the previous versions.
Anyway, I have been wondering whether a headless-oriented SKU wouldn't make sense. Pay for the PoE BOM by jettisoning the video output.
What is (or would be) the "Tsundoku" equivalent for Raspberry Pi? I started with Pi-Hole a few years back but ended up with a commercial paid DNS resolver. The timeline usually goes like this -- will stumble on another interesting video of Jeff Geerling, then spend the weekend tinkering with the Pi, keeps running, forget about it, found it to be not needed, plugs off and is lying around.

anyone could tell me how did you use raspberry pi?
* Download agent (i.e. torrent, JDownloader, ARIA)
* Tailscale exit node
* Endlessh tarpit
* Sadly more reliable than my Mac Mini when running server workloads (lots of open SMB files crash MacOS)
And all of this at quite a low power dissipation, which is the primary expense in running a home server.
I don't do these things, but could:
* PiHole
* Kodi or Plex STB
* Add a hat and have an indoor air quality monitor or similar

That said, LibreElec has been beta testing the RPi5 and will support it. Dev images are ready: https://libreelec.tv/2023/09/28/rpi5-support/
I am surprised they still haven't figured out how to accept USB power with higher voltage than 5V. It'll thus continue to be a pain to power.
Apparently it isn't all that efficient anymore as evident from their active cooler add-on.
It looks like the performance will be similar to the incoming (was meant for release this summer but seems to be late) new SiFive RISC-V development board with P550 CPU.
