So over a year on YouTube, a video that shows people how to install LibreElec on a Raspberry Pi 5 to play your own, local, legally-acquired content on a TV...
My video was removed because it contains 'dangerous or harmful content', and my appeal was just rejected.

Oh boy. I had clicked off MKBHD's latest video a minute in since I realized it was full sponsored and just hitting DJI talking points.
But doing driving reckless for a short clip in a video is always wrong. Don't drive 60 over the limit. Not ever, esp for content.

Chrome is hot garbage.
A long time ago it was a snappy rebel browser that took the Internet by storm.
Today it's worse than IE ever was, tracking your browsing habits and sharing them with advertisers even if you take efforts to protect your privacy. It's all out-out too.

Raspberry Pi just announced the Pi 500+
It has a quad-core CPU, 16 GB of RAM, 256 GB SSD (built-in NVMe), and an RGB backlit mechanical keyboard (Gateron KS-33 blue switches).
Cost: $200 - and in this thread I’ll go through some testing notes 🧵

Initial findings with the @LinusTech screwdriver:
1. It has a very thin shaft (compared to other ratchets, not normal drivers lol), good for tight spaces
2. Good hand-feel for the ratchet, though this adds a tiny bit to runout (worse for some types of work)

M4 efficiency is stunning. First machine I've tested getting over 5 Gflops/W with HPL, and in fact it goes beyond 6 Gflops/W... with fan only spinning up to a quiet 2500 rpm.

Raspberry Pi just launched a new 16 GB Pi 5 for $120.

Re: Honey scam
A free product that has enough money to sponsor *every* huge YouTuber immediately raises alarm bells.
At least with overpriced stuff like the Ridge wallet or Raycons, you get something and the company doesn't actively harm the creators it is purportedly helping.

If anyone asks why I prefer to work with Raspberry Pis when I want to tinker on a random project, consider:
I just spent the past hour with a brand new ArmSoM Sige7 board. This has been on the market for months, with some glowing reviews...
And it took about 30 minutes before I could get it to boot (20 of those minutes finding an image that would flash properly and at least *start* booting). Then 20 to try getting logged in. And the last 10 trying to set up an account on ArmSoM's forum to ask what the default user/pass for Ubuntu is.
github.com/geerlingguy/sbc-r…
This is not an isolated incident. So many times I hop on board a new SBC board train, and end up spending more time just getting to the point I can start doing a project... than actually doing a project 🤦♂️
The hardware looks cool, though. Hopefully I can get logged in next week!

Two more RISC-V cores to add on to the 8 inside this laptop!
This is a neat little RP2350 GPIO expansion card for Framework devices, which is plugged into the DC ROMA Mainboard II, with an 8-core P550 onboard :)
Our RP2350 expansion cards produced by @HQ_NextPCB arrived last week, and are fully functional with @FrameworkPuter PCs! We have tested them with @DeepComputingio's DC-ROMA RISC-V PC and they just work as intended!
Thanks all for sponsorship!
