The circumstances in which we find ourselves are challenging, but in the future they will abate. When they do, we will reverse our price increases, and until they do, we will continue to work hard to limit their impact in every way we can.
What separates this from a standard Raspberry Pi build is the pair of breadboards soldered directly to the GPIO pins, seated inside the case, and accessible through a removable back panel. Connecting a sensor no longer means hunting for a separate breadboard and a tangle of jumper wires. PickentCode plugged in a temperature and humidity sensor and had it reading live data within minutes.
The viral AI personal assistant, formerly known as Clawdbot and Moltbot, has dominated the feeds of AI boosters over the past few weeks for its ability to perform everyday tasks like sending emails, managing calendars, booking appointments, and complaining about their meatbag masters on the purportedly all-agent forum known as MoltBook. More level-headed voices have already flagged a wave of security vulnerabilities.
First, the RAM is up to 16GB of LPDDR4X-4267 SDRAM. As someone who grabbed a handful of units with 16GB of RAM when they were released back in January, I can honestly say that the power and versatility this amount of RAM offers is worth the money, and I can understand why it was chosen for the 500+. Whether you're building a system to handle AI workloads or run a browser with loads of tabs open, this is what you need.
There's a lovely device called a PiStorm, an adapter board that glues a Raspberry Pi GPIO [General-Purpose Input/Output] bus to a Motorola 68000 bus. The intended use case is that you plug it into a 68000 device and then run an emulator that reads instructions from hardware (ROM or RAM) and emulates them.
