Arduino ☛ This Arduino device helps ‘split the G’ on a pint of Guinness
Guinness is one of those beers (specifically, a stout) that people take seriously and the Guinness brand has taken full advantage of that in their marketing. They even sell a glass designed specifically for enjoying their flagship creation, which has led to a trend that the company surely appreciates: “splitting the G.”

CNX Software ☛ Tips to use a touchscreen display with Raspberry Pi OS in 2025
I’ve just reviewed the SunFounder 10.1-inch touchscreen display with Raspberry Pi 5 running Raspberry Pi OS, and the experience was not quite as smooth as I had expected, so I’ll report some tips to save people time. The first is the software keyboard. Matchbox keyboard used to be the go-to solution, but two years ago, my preferred keyboard became the Onboard keyboard.

Tom's Hardware ☛ Voice controlled Raspberry Pi paper towel dispenser turns a prank into reality
Before we get too deep in to the story (its not April 1st yet), yes, we are well aware that the source of this project is a prank. We've seen stickers for "voice activated printers / photocopiers and even a lift" but until now, they were just pranks. With the power of a Raspberry Pi 4 we can now make these pranks a reality.

Android Police ☛ Supernote takes a page out of Framework’s playbook with new DIY tools
Among electronics manufacturers, everyone likes to pay lip service to repairability and sustainability, but few companies actually put their money where their mouth is. All-cardboard packaging is en vogue with most OEMs at the moment, and many e-reader companies are using recycled plastic cases on their devices, but no company has fully embraced the DIY scene quite like Supernote has.

Tom's Hardware ☛ Meta is reportedly testing its first RISC-V based AI chip for AI training
Meta is reportedly testing its first RISC-V based Hey Hi (AI) chip for Hey Hi (AI) training
Meta is evaluating its Hey Hi (AI) training accelerator, which could reduce its reliance on Nvidia's Hey Hi (AI) GPUs for training. [...] Meta was one of the first companies to build its RISC-V-based chips for AI inference several years ago to cut costs and reduce reliance on Nvidia. Reuters reports that the company went one step further and designed (presumably with Broadcom's assistance) its in-house accelerator for AI training. If the chip meets Meta's goals, it may reduce its reliance on high-end Nvidia AI GPUs —such as H100/H200 and B100/B200—for training advanced large-language models.
