Also featuring a Rubik’s Cube-solving robot and an interview with a most excellent maker

Raspberry Pi Weekly

Howdy,

What's better than an ordinary Christmas present? An early one. So we've gifted Raspberry Pi OS users the option of Dark Mode. Rest your weary eyes; it's been a long year.

Peace,

Ashley
