The sweetest slice of Pi: Raspberry Pi 500+ sports mechanical keys, 16GB, and built-in SSD

lovely, now…

…if there was a numpad to go along with this I'd known what to ask Father Christmas for this year!

Toys can tell us a lot about how tech will change our lives

I’d love to see The Reg’s take on this generation’s Google Glass, the Meta Rayban Display glasses. They seem to have a distinctly “Joe 90” aesthetic.

I know it’s not necessarily what you want to hear, but many areas of education need professionals to deliver industry-based lessons.

Hopefully it’s relevant to your experience.

HMRC: Crooks broke into 100k accounts, stole £43M from British taxpayer in late 2024

No they won't, because they're afraid of "tariffs" that the man in the orange mask will apply.

Raspberry Pi adds more memory to the Compute Module 4S

If apple didn't need anymore than that, why would a pi?

Lazy? Pssch.

There's no financial incentive to check _before there is an issue_ if there is an issue.

Samsung Galaxy S21: Lots of little downgrades, but this phone is more than the sum of its parts

Re: Already switched away....

I opted for an even cheaper xiaomi model, the poco x3 nfc.

I paid £200 and a 10000mAh battery bank free, plus used the offer & got a band for £10 more.

The Poco is an amazing phone for the price, which makes me wish the s21 reviewer would have a look at the poco x3. It’d be an education to see how the value phone is compared to this well worth it £700+ Samsung phone.

Up yours, Europe! Our 100% prime British broadband is cheaper than yours... but also slower and a bit of a rip-off

An epitaph for the age

This is a wholly different comment on Maggie (for me), perhaps it can be etched into the plinth once they finish installing her statue in Grantham?

Das Keyboard 4C TKL: Plucky mechanical contender strikes happy medium between typing feel and clackety-clack joy

Optional separate number keypad please!

I'll occasionally use the number pad more than the rest of the keyboard, but there are so few separate number pads that aren't white label junk :'(

Three UK goes TITSUP*: Down and out for 10 hours and counting

Return of Service after 12hrs of no to little service.

Hurrah!

Getting you vultures involved 'must have put a rocket' under Three, cause almost 5 hours after your posting, _my service_ returned!

Re: Gah

Maybe they didn't realise how impractical that 'solution' is when you're in the car and have driven out of the saved map only to find Google maps can't load the next bit of the map?

Niche problem, I know.

No service for Three UK customers

No service for Three UK customers

No-one has created a post on Three UK's major page at the moment?

They've acknowledged the problem on Twitter, but refuse to inform customers on their own sites?

Too hot to handle? Raspberry Pi 4 fans left wondering if kit should come with a heatsink

Moto fires BROADSIDE into the flagship phone's waterline with X Play and Style

Re: upgrade...

it's not you, the Moto E's camera is bad. Otherwise how would they be able to make an improvement for the next version :)

Lenovorola TRIPLE-ola: New Moto G, Moto X and 360 wristputer UNZIPPED

moto no no

One of the biggest things motorola had going for it, was the pocket friendly proces of the moto devices. Well, they've just pushed these items out of reach of those how needed them most.

So, nice phones, shame about the costs.
