You might be thinking of Progress Quest!


Yes! Thank you.


There's been much debate about Raspberry Pi straying from its mission to provide affordable computers. I disagree.

Raspberry Pi offers models ranging from $10 to $120, all readily available — more so than ever.

Adjusted for inflation, the original $35 Raspberry Pi Model B (launched 2012) would be $50 today. The Raspberry Pi 5 2GB is also $50 today and vastly outperforms the original, delivering far greater bang for buck.

Though I can’t speak to their internal decisions, it’s seems from the outside that they continue to try to maximise the value of the Raspberry Pi while maintaining the original price point.

It is still cheap and accessible. The cheapest Pi model is just over $10 [1], the most expensive is $120 [2].

And within that range there are a number of options with different CPU power, connectivity options, and RAM. Take your pick!

[1] Raspberry Pi Zero - https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/raspberry-pi-zero

[2] Raspberry Pi 5 16GB - https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/raspberry-pi-5


Because now there is a large range of options.

Here's your $20 Pi (still supported and available to buy): https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/raspberry-pi-zero-2-w

Here's your $120 Pi (many times faster and with 32 x the RAM): https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/raspberry-pi-5

The choice is right there for you with many other options in between...


We have a pre-order up for these while stock is limited during launch in case you want to get in the queue! https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/raspberry-pi-ai-kit


It's not.. `light-color` refers to the colour you want presented if the user's preference is for a "light" theme.

It's not declaring the relative brightness of the two colours - I agree it could be documented a little less ambiguously with something like `light-theme-color`.


I got confused because I thought it would set a background color. For text it's inverted and hence correct.


It sets the foreground/text color because it's used with the `color` property (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/color). You can use it to set the background color too in which case you'd do `background-color: light-dark(white, black);`



For UK customers we also have 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB Raspberry Pi 4 in stock, things are finally starting to improve meaningfully! https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/raspberry-pi-4

We do ship worldwide but other resellers worldwide are also stocked right now - happy days! :-)

Home baked bread freezes really well so take advantage of that! I also bake a lot of bread at home and usually make a batch of 1kg of flour at a time, that results in two good sized loaves - one goes in the freezer until the other is finished.

I freeze it in an air tight bag, and I take it out of the freezer a day before we want to start using it and let it thaw at room temperature.


+1 for freezing. Additionally if you want less planning around when to thaw, I slice my bread before freezing, and then put it in the toaster to reheat it, with a bit of added crisp.


I've been in America only once while overnighting in a hotel near LAX en-route to New Zealand from the UK.

Everything I ate at that hotel tasted sweet from the pizza I ordered that night to the toast I had in the morning. What should have been delicious and savoury was instead sickening and unpleasant - it was so weird.


I’m from Europe and had a similar experience on the first visit to the US. It’s like the sugar level is set to max for everything lol.


The food industry is really trying hard to kill Americans. Sugar everywhere, and all kinds of additives and processing everywhere else.
