We made our own BBC Micro!… kinda…

Raspberry Pi Weekly

Howdy,

Wanna hack us? There’s a cash bounty waiting to be claimed…

So far, we don’t have a winner for our second RP2350 Hacking Challenge, so we decided to evolve it by removing one of the core defence-in-depth features: the randomisation of memory accesses.

Our Maker-in-Chief gave a polite nod to Raspberry Pi's legacy by disguising a Raspberry Pi 500+ as a BBC Micro, one of the machines that sparked our CEO Eben Upton's journey into computing.

We had to announce another set of price rises due to an unprecedented increase in the cost of LPDDR4 memory, driven by competition for memory fab capacity from the AI infrastructure roll-out. We look forward to unwinding these increases as soon as possible and will keep you posted.

It was nice to hear from Caleb Olson of Poopcopter fame, who got in touch to show us his latest Raspberry Pi build. It's an automated system that captures family moments in real time, leaving you with authentic audio snippets from ordinary days that you might otherwise have missed or forgotten. (Side note: can't believe one of our favourite makers from way back has kids now?!)

Peace,

Ashley
