Would you pay $385 for a Raspberry Pi?
The 16GB Raspberry Pi 5 just went up $80. That is more than three times its $120 launch price from January 2025.
Raspberry Pi blames a shortage of 16GB DRAM. Lower-memory boards and the Pi 500+ keep their prices.

Can India ever compete with China in PCBs?
@MuraliSrinivasa of @LionCircuits says yes. The catch: nearly every raw material is imported, and small humidity swings hurt solder mask quality.

Swat it, crush it, and it still takes off.
Researchers at UCLA and UC Davis built a flying robot that weighs just 185 mg. It survived a flyswatter hit and being flattened under about 11,000 times its own weight, then flew again.

A 1984 Tomy Omnibot just got the brain it was promised: a Raspberry Pi 5 and an AI Camera that knows 80 objects.
The twist: its original 1984 motor board still drives it. The Pi sends it audio tones over a Bluetooth cassette adapter.
