For the first time we now also offer ARM64 builds for devices that boot with UEFI. This means you'll be able to run OS 8.1 on M-series Apple Silicon and devices where you can load UEFI-supporting firmware like Raspberry Pi. This version of Linux also supports certain Qualcomm and Rockchip processors, for example

hey, people knowledgeable in #electronics , I have a dumb question:
I have a 16x16 panel of rgb leds (WS2812B ? not 100% sure, but 5v IN)
I want to pilot it with a RP Pico 2W.
If I have a beefy enough USB charger / battery, is it safe for everyone to use the usb plug of the RP Pico, and get the 5v Vin power for the panel from the Vbus pin of the RP pico? Will it provide safely the multiple amps the panel needs? (how much exactly? can't find) for full white light?

I just published the code of the first prototype of Diapasonix, a bass-like synth and MIDI controller I'm developing.
It uses the fabuolous AMY synth engine and runs on a Raspberry Pi Pico 2. Loads of presets and effects!

Yesterday was the third anniversary of Raspberry Pi announcing that they'd hired an ex-cop (specifically a Technical Surveillance Officer) as their "Maker-in-residence", and then pissing off a huge segment of their target market by acting completely oblivious as to why that might be a problem.
I missed my calendar reminder about it, so instead you can celebrate the third anniversary of Buzzfeed writing an article about it:

Speaking of the #RaspberryPi CM5, there's a new carrier board coming out - an open-hardware design which adapts it into a mini-ITX form factor complete with x16 (mechanical, it's still one-lane) PCI Express slot.

À chaque fois que je veux sortir, je trouve ça frustrant de sortir mon téléphone pour regarder quand passe le prochain métro, alors j'ai fait un programme qui me l'affiche sur un écran e-ink dans mon salon

Yep, it runs MacOS 7.5 really wide 🙃

A small computer in beige plastic that resembles a slabtop from the mid 1980s. A rainbow backlit keyboard with beige, dark gray, and orange keycaps is in the front with a small LCD screen on the upper left tilted up toward the viewer. On the screen is flying toasters screen saver from After Dark.

On the screen is the MacOS boot screen with icons of control panels and extensions loading.
I added an internal speaker (from an old iPad) and headphone jack to my Typeframe. Since I used a Pi 5 with no on-board analog audio, I used a USB audio dongle.
I was delighted to learn of the simplicity of switching 3.5mm headphone jacks. They have 5 poles instead of 3. The audio source and internal speaker are wired to the headphone jack pins. They're normally closed and the internal speaker works. Plug in headphones, it switches. So simple!
