The $5 Pi Zero price, and the $10 Pi Zero W price are a One-Per-Customer introductory price (so everyone can get at least one cheap computer). This is what we were told years ago by representatives of RPF, and nothing has changed (and is not likely to change, ever). When mentioning this it would be...

I think OP asked for visual dark mode of this forum

Sometimes it is quite dark even with shiny colours.

Spot-on prediction! I decided to revert back to Raspbian's chromium-browser so I purged everything chromium-related, disabled the deb.debian.org repository, then installed chromium-browser and rpi-chromium-mods. But now when I run chromium-browser, I get a segmentation sault. pi@raspberrypi:~ $ chr...

Its a prime number benchmark heavily dependent on 64-bit division. Of course in 64-bit mode that division is one instruction and very fast, but in 32-bit mode it is a library call and obviously very slow. Hence the large performance gain for 64-bit. That's the trouble with simplistic benchmarks. Wa...

Did I mention the codes I'm testing are 30% to 40% faster running as 64 bit. Despite the fact they only do 32 bit integer maths. Try to compile sysbench from source (e.g. the 0.4 version https://github.com/akopytov/sysbench/tree/0.4 ) under both and run its standard cpu benchmark computing primes '...

you don't need qemu-system to run x86 linux kernel, for your case qemu userspace emulation should be good enough and probably much easier and faster see https://wiki.debian.org/QemuUserEmulation This will keep your arm kernel and translate just the code in x86 binaries

For windows 10 check Winaero Tweaker, it can disable or tune many annoying features. Each tweak is also documented what it does to registry so you can do it by hand if you wish. This is first thing I install in each new win10 vm to keep some sanity.

Just a heads up. If you are interested in this concept of running javascript on your watch, things got more professional now. There is kickstarter done by Espruino author which started today and is already funded after few hours. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gfw/banglejs-the-hackable-smart-w...

You don't need that experimental kernel, there will be one preinstalled for you, but you need to enable it yourself in config.txt
Then after booting (still 32bit) raspbian with 64bit kernel you can run other distributions inside raspbian via chroot or schroot or systemd-nspawn or any other way.

So maybe that documentation can be changed to prevent confusion and either remove those two places mentioning 60GHz mode The possible values for hw_mode are: a = IEEE 802.11a (5 GHz) b = IEEE 802.11b (2.4 GHz) g = IEEE 802.11g (2.4 GHz) ad = IEEE 802.11ad (60 GHz) or clearly say that this mode is no...

Check https://github.com/christinaa/rpi-open-firmware There is also gcc port so with enough motivation porting some RTOS is possible.

fanoush

you can also add i2s audio, see e.g http://www.lucadentella.it/en/2017/04/2 ... t-via-i2s/
there are small cheap i2s boards with headphone sockets on ebay that may work out of box

Actually - I was considering having two Pis (due to memory constraints of one): one connected to monitor and keyboard running X windows and another on network using first as X terminal. Also, first (with SSD) would share disk over nfs (at least /home if not more!). That way I would be able to decid...

You would not for one instant consider joining 2 PCs or Laptops together. I guess that's true but looks like it would be for wrong reason as we get this question again and again. Maybe two laptops are too big or too expensive or it would be confusing to have two screens or two keyboards. Pi is smal...

There is https://packages.debian.org/buster/gcc- ... -linux-gnu however on the bottom it shows that it is availablle only for some limited set of architectures including i386 and ppc64el (!), it does not include armhf.

I’m still looking for the case by the way

Which one? Got that strange one shown here https://www.pishop.co.za/store/wdlabs-enclosure only in black

However it is for normal full size Pi s not for Zero but looks mostly the same.

Actually I have two unused unopened ones, one the 314GB PiDrive with the raspberry logo on the box and part number WD3140LMCW and one in blank box with part number WD3750LMCW. I also have two extra plastic bags with some special splitter cables and AC adapters that WD sold for them. I wouldn't mind ...

wow, all that 64bit focus is great news, good stuff! Before starting to install arm64 packages you should be running a 64-bit kernel. See https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=250730 for more info on that. The 4.19-75 64bit kernel is part of updated raspbian images, then the packag...

But what about Pi 2, wouldn't [pi2] match both BCM2836 and BCM2837 models?

maybe set arm_64bit=1 would just silently fail on 32bit cpu and load 32bit kernel? And if not it could be changed to work like this? Would it solve the issue?

EDIT: a bit of necro qouting from first thread page :-) (because at first I didn't notice I see first page instead of last page of the thread) If you are daring, edit /opt/Wolfram/WolframEngine/12.0/Executables/mathematica find lines: armv?l) SystemIDList="Linux-ARM";; and add after: aarch64) System...

What I mean is that right now I can only use one for example if I turn on the light from the physical switch I can't turn it off from the relay and if I turn on the light from the relay I can't turn it off from the physical switch. Is there any way I can fix that Sonoff mini can do that. It can be ...

[1a] Simply keep a separate 3.3V power supply alive that only drives the SDC, and thus maintain only a modest voltage and current to keep the SDC comms and FLASH activity alive for a short amount of time. i.e. Tens of milliamps for a few hundred milliseconds. [1b] The intent is to 'wait-out' the co...

Beware the odroid firmware.

Which one you mean? Some specific one from https://wiki.odroid.com/odroid-xu4/soft ... _fw_update ?
There are several versions inside jms578fwupdater.tgz linked there, the v173.01.00.02 is even from 2019.

Is the green light (sd card activity) almost constantly on? I have similar experience with Chromium in Buster on Pi4 2GB. I leave it alone with couple of tabs open and no SD activity and enough free memory left and over night I often find it with green LED constantly on like if it is out of memory a...

As you note, price is kind of a big deal when it comes to a $5, well, anything. Indeed. However the OP asked about Zero W and that one is $9. And the WH variant without quantity limits is even more. So while the $5 Zero is difficult for many reasons related to price, the W/WH price hopefully allows...
