Now what?
It’s a Pico 2 W and don’t call me Shirley. I don’t know what I’m going to do with it, I got it free with the Raspberry Pi subscription. It’s a microcontroller; the robot suggested hooking it up to a chickenhouse flap and a light sensor so it automatically lets them out in the morning.
Nah.
I do have a whole-ass Raspberry Pi coming. They’ve been out of stock everywhere due to data centers slurping up all the RAM – unless you bought the 8 or 16-gig version, which is more expensive than a Chromebook. They finally got 4 gigs in stock at not stupid money. I have no idea what I’m going to do with that, either.
Any pi-heads read this blog?
p.s. Aw, nobody played with Eleven Labs?

Esther Rantzen has finally left us. Uncle B will tell you who she was. A year ago she said that she was close to death with terminal lung cancer and was hoping to arrange her departure at the Davos euthanasia clinic. In the end she got too ill to travel and had to accept a natural death. Either Mrs Carl or I have been choosing her regularly for the Dead Pool.
