TOKYO!

Wanna play with a Raspberry Pi 5? Then get thee to Raspberry Jam #Tokyo on October 24th.

#Pi5 will be on show along with Pimoroni's Pibow 5, and there'll be a power supply evaluation, as well as other talks.

... This will affect a lot of people, and we understand it will be disruptive for many as we all get used to the new way of doing things. Our documentation about this aspect of using Python on Raspberry Pi is at rptl.io/venv; if you try to use pip the old way, you'll see an error message which includes that link. There, we set out exactly what you now need to do in order to install packages via pip.

#RaspberryPi OS Bookworm, released last week, brings a big change for Python users, as we implement a change introduced by the Python community in upstream Debian: from Bookworm onwards, packages installed via pip must be installed into a Python Virtual Environment using venv.

Every time a new Raspberry Pi is released, there are mutterings around thermal control of the new board.

This time around, with the release of Raspberry #Pi5, we’re introducing two new official hardware solutions for cooling, priced at $5 and $10 respectively.

:raspberrypi: Raspberry Pi 5 is coming :raspberrypi:

With more than twice the speed of Raspberry Pi 4, and featuring our brand new RP1 chip, we’ve refined the Raspberry Pi experience.

It’s the everything computer. Optimised.

Priced at $60 for the 4GB variant, and $80 for its 8GB sibling, units are already available to pre-order from many of our Approved Resellers, and will ship at the end of October.

Retro #gaming is a massively popular Raspberry Pi application, and while loading your favourite old #videogames onto an SD card is pretty straightforward, building the physical shell of a gaming system can be daunting for those of us without 3D printers or design skills of any kind.

PiBoy Mini bridges that gap by providing partially-assembled devices to their customers. The rest is BYORP: bring your own #RaspberryPi.
