Given that they made custom silicon for the IO module, I'm disappointed that they didn't include a couple PIO cores in there. It would've been great to be able to use the GPIO pins to drive serial LEDs, as extra uart peripherals, or for any of the numerous other things people have developed for the RP2040 PIO.
Higher wattage PD chargers and powerbanks that I have here all work with voltages of 9/12/15 at 3A and 20V at up to 5A
I question whether it's wise to launch a new product before the supply chain issues which have plagued Raspberry Pi for years have been fully resolved. Granted, the situation has improved slightly over the past few months. But you will still find Pi 4s out of stock more often than not. The CEO said last year not to expect a Pi 5 in 2023, because they wanted to take the time to recover. Why the u-turn? https://www.the…
I'm much more surprised that they decided to launch with a GPU that would have been considered awful if it had been released with previous pi four years ago.
5v/5A seems weird. Can normal power supplies even deliver this? One of the big benefits of rpi has always been to reuse power adapters and isn’t that all PD standard today? Higher wattage PD chargers and powerbanks that I have here all work with voltages of 9/12/15 at 3A and 20V at up to 5A
A quick Google search suggests they aren't hard to find:

Why does everyone choose Python for that? Maybe a weird question for HN, but I still have no idea.
In my case at least, it's because Python has a strong ecosystem. Everybody's heard of it - parents, kids, and teachers. There are lots of good kid-friendly education materials. Of course, that begs the question "how did that ecosystem develop in the first place?", but I can't answer that.
It's a very clean language.
anyone could tell me how did you use raspberry pi?
My Pi4 (8GB ram) runs: 1. Mox mail server at home (PTR record set up with ISP) - https://github.com/mjl-/mox . 2. Web server (no external hosting hurray); TLS set up via LetsEncrypt. 3. Navidrome for streaming my music collection to my phone/computers. I ripped my thousands of CDs to MP3. I use subtracks on my phone for listening to it, and sonixd on my computers (Mac/PC). https://github.com/navidrome/navidrome 4. mp…
I’d love to find something low power that can be a nice little home server to host various projects. Mac Minis might be the best perf/watt but they’re still coming in pretty expensive in comparison.
No word on price. When Raspberry Pi first launched, this was the prime feature of the thing. Can we expect same price as the Raspberry Pi 4? (at the respective RAM level) Edit: found it here: https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/introducing-raspberry-pi-5/ So the 4 GB model is 60$, which is 5$ more than the 4 GB model of the Raspberry 4 when that was launched: https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/raspberry-pi-4-on-sale-now-.…
My gripe is that the original Pi cost $35 at launch and while they have made a better Pi...They have not made a Pi at that price ever again, even accounting for Inflation. Furthermore, increased power consumption and features have added big price jumps to the required Accessories. Now you need miniHDMI adapters rather than more common HDMI, you need cooling, you need more expensive power adapters. a fully set up Pi 1…

It depends on what "need" means. I'm pretty sure you can take a 400W TDP Threadripper and run it without active cooling. It will throttle down to run at whatever speed (well, TDP) that doesn't fry it. The Raspberry Pi does the same thing. If your goal is to get the highest score on every benchmark, then yeah, you need active cooling. That has been true on every Raspberry Pi, I think. (I don't remember if the 1 needed…
Threadrippers use 50W+ at idle, so no, it won't just "throttle down"
