Very proud of this one - just fitting it all onto a 6 layer PCB while keeping it looking pretty was a huge challenge. Not to mention all of the other challenges getting a product like this to launch! Well done to everyone involved, this is a huge step for Raspberry Pi.

🚨New product alert🚨

The Raspberry Pi USB 3 Hub provides extra connectivity for your devices by turning one USB-A port into four. It's compatible with all Raspberry Pi devices, and is priced at just $12.

@Zarch1972 @plumbers_urban @RichMWPHS @energystatsuk Thanks for this a great write up! Sadly looks like I have the faulty firmware :/ Super annoying it needs a new PCB and not a simple firmware Flash of some sort!

🚨 Meet Raspberry Pi Pico 2, our new $5 microcontroller board 🚨

The next big tiny thing, built using RP2350: a high-performance, secure microcontroller designed here at Raspberry Pi.

@DavidAGraham UART or SPI depending on how much BW you want...

[James Adams @JamesAdams314]

Pico 2 on sale now- RP235x with double the SRAM, M33 and Risc-V cores, OTP, new security architecture, new power states and lots more! https://t.co/tr5C9WhJqr

In ep03 of #BritainBehindBars, I introduce @RobbieRinder to the penal treadmill, a hard labour machine invented to punish & rehabilitate.
Want to know more? @OUCymru colleagues & I have created a short film on the history of the machine & its legacy. https://t.co/SjjGRVdW3Y

[BBC Radio 4 @BBCRadio4]

In the final episode of the season, @Lucy_Worsley looks at women who were mad, bad And dangerous to know.

Lucy is joined by @rosalindcrone and @helenlewis as they look at what makes women 'difficult' in these final cases.

@Zarch1972 @Jmrheating @Damon_BPHR @chrisdunham70 @MixergyLtd @Openenergymon @FraserLiam Thanks will take a look- I need more time to play with all this 👍

[James Adams @JamesAdams314]

@Zarch1972 @Jmrheating @Damon_BPHR @chrisdunham70 @MixergyLtd @Openenergymon @FraserLiam I need to get an ebus reader! Other than that I am not differentiating heating and DHW (like you we use a lot of DHW and heat the tank quite hot so drags overall COP down). Monitoring the valve would seem the simplest way otherwise, but I haven't looked at that...

[rosalindcrone @rosalindcrone]

It's a big day! #Ladykillers with @Lucy_Worsley series 3 lands this morning, 11.30, @BBCRadio4 & @BBCSounds . And we have just released another video in our series on the history of prisons on YouTube: https://t.co/W5bDtbxr8g

[Lucy Worsley @Lucy_Worsley]

From 11.30 today! A brand new #LadyKiller and one of my favourites.  Meet Maria Manning, aka The Lady Macbeth of Bermondsey. This time I’m joined by superstar author @katemossewriter and Professor @rosalindcrone.

Fascinating thread!

[Ed Conway @EdConwaySky]

I went to one of the world's biggest glass factories & it was REALLY cool.
Here's what I saw👇

The factory is the @Encirc plant in Cheshire.
It's enormous. Acres & acres.
If you poured anything from a glass bottle in the UK this Xmas there's a good chance it came from here...

[rosalindcrone @rosalindcrone]

Delighted to see Lady Killers with @Lucy_Worsley in the top 10 @BBCSounds podcasts for 2023. A big milestone for women's history, demonstrating its appeal & relevance. More good things to come in 2024 (there's a clue in the slideshow below...)

Batteries are often described as resource-intensive. With a 95% proven recycling rate and a 10yr life, over 50% of battery minerals mined today will still be in use in *130 years*. Add 5% performance improvement per cycle, and they will be delivering services *forever*. Boom! 1/2

[James Adams @JamesAdams314]

@rtomasal I think I see what you are asking and yes this should be fine.

[James Adams @JamesAdams314]

Want to design PCIe peripherals for Pi5? Or a HAT+? Or a PCIe HAT+? Specifications available now! https://t.co/EbgoJw1Hlv

[James Adams @JamesAdams314]

@rtomasal Not sure if I understand the question, but the x1 interface on the 16W FFC is separate to the x4 that talks to the RP1 so you can use both at the same time.

[James Adams @JamesAdams314]

@leo60228 Surprisingly, nobody picked up on the HAT+ text on the Pi5 silk...

[James Adams @JamesAdams314]

@0xC0DE6502 Need the time to give it a full strip down and clean / inspection before applying power. Perhaps a Christmas holiday project...

[James Adams @JamesAdams314]

First computer I owned myself. Lots of fun memories. I should probably try to get it going again!

[James Adams @JamesAdams314]

@kevsmac Yes I liked the Electron keyboard too, but it was quite noisy. They packed most of the logic into a single ULA chip, which can be a source of problems, it got really hot too! Unfortunately the hobbled memory architecture meant a lot of Beeb programs didn't run properly.
