Yes I've expired the post Thanks :)

Expired

You can use one to repurpose and old (or new if you like) monitor in to a smart mirror. Just Google rpi smart mirror.

So many uses: https://www.ubuntupit.com/20-best-raspberry-pi-projects-that-you-can-start-right-now/

What exactly do u use these for? Never used one and I’m interested

Yeah back to oos :(

Out of stock during checkout (lol) (lol) (lol) (lol)

Looks like there's 1 left!

I think it might be back in stock.

Finally ordered one of these, does anyone know what the best OS to install is if I want to connect it to my router and TV to use as a pihole and a media server?

"I did not have sockets with that woman" as President Clinton almost said.

I tried a Pi Zero W once a while ago, but I didn't inhale...

thanks worked for me.. super cheap!!

Not for all Amex cards.

Wow. Offer of the year. Got one ordered. Thanks VERY much indeed.

Is that really a fair comparison though? They’re quite a bit different in price. I use 2 of these around the house connected to a central kodi library and it works really well. Inclusion of CEC so the tv remote controls it makes it very seamless. Only downside of the pi as a kodi box is its inability to output HD audio if you have remuxes.

I HATE this about mine. I have to get a blade to sort of pick at the surface of the card to pull it out of the slot. Could just stick a bit of tape on it as a tab I suppose, but it's still annoying. A little recess so I could pinch the end of the card is all it would take.

It would be good if they re-routed/covered the ports the same way the RetroFlag cases do. The little MegaPi case is great because of that: it routes the power, audio, HDMI and ethernet to the back, 2 USB to the front and covers the other 2 USB and SD in hatches at the side - Even includes a safe shutdown and reset.

Merkins and their aluminum upto no good!

Basically they're knocking the p&p off. I do love a good deal but it smacks a bit when they slap on p&p. I know it's not free to send stuff but it still hurts my wallet.

Now £28.09! Veritable bargain :-) Or - £27.53 if buying from Amazon Warehouse!

Thank you for the post just ordered one. Purchased a 128gb retro pi image from eBay and hope for of the more demanding games work on this as struggle on my Pi2 .

Can't comment about cool things, but the most practical benefit I've found of the Pi is to use it as a PiHole. This basically turns the Pi into a local DNS server, which blocks undesired web traffic, while accelerating desired traffic. You get faster web browsing, with ads, tracking, malware, and various unwanted service providers all blocked. It does take a bit of work to get it running optimally, but it's worth it. Looking at the info panel on mine, it's currently blocking 60% of DNS requests, with no loss of desired functionality.

Wow like Mario or contra.. Pretty good

You know you can use this for retro games, media streaming and other things right? :D

Yes it does.

Cheaper on amazon with Prime https://www.amazon.co.uk/Raspberry-Pi-1080p-Camera-Module-x/dp/B01ER2SMHY

Does it work with motion eye?

Wow thank you for the links (highfive)

https://www.raspberrypi.org/magpi/issues/ You can download the Raspberry Pi ones there https://wireframe.raspberrypi.org/issues/ and the game magazine ones there.

All of the magazines are availible for free on their website https://hackspace.raspberrypi.org/issues

Did anyone that ordered from around the 14th get a refund over the weekend? Apparently it's to do with it not being ready to deliver yet, I assume they'll just recharge me when they do end up posting

Not entirely. Depends on the OS. Android is always improving in their emulation. Saturn being a prime example as systems unable to play it can now. Its about the coding. Even n64 plays differently depending on what you use. This will definitely play many things others can't. Many demos on YouTube already show that. Given time and users it'll be one of the best next to the shield tv... Which is rumoured to get a new version this year.

I know what you mean, that there is always an overhead, it's a matter of how much. For example is a particular instruction doesn't exist in hardware, then you have to software emulate it, and hence it takes a lot of time. In this case it should be much easier.. or less work .. For example We're not doing a x86 to Arm RISC core... We're doing a similar generation arm RISC core to similar gen arm RISC core.

Yes it would, you need to read about how emulation works. Emulation doesn't run the original machine code directly, you need the equivalent of several times the processing power of the original hardware to emulate the hardware in software; all of this needs to be done on a CPU.

Ordered looking forward to a bit of AI

Something was wrong with my browser it seems, delete history and cookies and now it works fine! To anyone having the same issue, try this. :) Thanks again for sharing

Just tested and its working fine.. Code : comp

It free just now tested .. Add this code manually if any issue - KNOWLEDGEISPOTENTIAL

Don’t see a free course on passive income (as mentioned in header). Can anyone help?

Apparentely every ape already has udemy certification rendering it useless?

I need the SNES version of this!

Arrived today. Blown away with the quality. Awesome buy.

Thanks OP, mine arrived today. WIll be fitting it tonight.

I also have a pstv somewhere as well. As I understand it, these work pretty much like a vita?

I was thinking of doing the same. Got a wii and wii u sat gathering dust so might have a play about and see what I can do

I bought the individual items the other day (due for delivery today) and paid £46.39 in total. Not sure why there is a difference in price - perhaps a different seller?

£52.99 on amazon with prime for a kit: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07BNQ2TWW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I actually ordered this one yesterday.

Not really a deal for a RPI 3b+ still cheaper at Amazon. Pi-hut are always overpriced so never use them. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Raspberry-Pi-Model-64-Bit-Processor/dp/B07BDR5PDW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1553172569&sr=8-2&keywords=rpi+3b+ £33.25 with prime from Amaazon.

The retro gaming bundle is great. The pads are solid and work really well. I 'invested' in some heat sinks for mine as well and have had no issues

https://www.raspberrypi.org 8) (cheeky)

Can anyone tell me how these work? I hear a lot about Raspberry pi mods for gaming etc. How does it work with one of these? Do I need a PC to run emulators through it? Sorry to sound naive, just wanted to know what all the fuss is about and if it's easy to do

Wait for this to drop in price or sometimes USED like new can be had for around £25 on the warehouse. Wouldn’t use the £5 voucher on this unless your desperate and have nothing else to buy.

That assumes one has not used the code for something else as it is a one off code for today only. That amazon is giving £5 off today doesn't make every bad price in amazon a cracking offer.

Probably best to use the code then.

It’s linking a different book for me, about Generative Adversarial Networks. Shame, the Python Pi one sounded pretty good

Technically it's still an ebook, just not a downloadable one. Annoying but for free I'm not complaining. Voted hot by the way

Yea it looks like packt has changed their policy for free ebooks this year, used to be able to download but not anymore :/

Are you sure this is an eBook? I think it's a read online rather than downloadable for free. Apologies if I am wrong. Heat added in any case as I supose it's not too difficult to read, just didn't want to keep logging in to continue reading. Thank you.

Thanks for the heads up!

Can the script only be installed via USB keyboard?

Hi any links to compare the differences between the Snes & Megadrive cases and fake ones ?

I saw this and I am very interested. Wondering if it can be modded to use the compute module rpi 3. Zero doesn’t have enough power for the games I like to play

I have a Pi Zero W, will this fit in this case? If not any recommendations for a similar case for the Pi Zero? Thanks!
