First #Hackster round-up of February. Let's see what's keeping me busy today!
First up, something I mentioned this morning: the second price hike from #RaspberryPi in the last two months. This time the $25 added to top-end SKUs is joined by another $60(!). Why? Well, the AI bubble: RAM is expensive now, everything has RAM, so everything is expensive.
It won't be the last price hike of the year, either, I'll tell you that now.
Rather more welcome news from the world of #science next, as engineers develop a chip capable of turning waste heat into useful computation - which could mean more efficient computers.
Maybe. If it scales: they haven't proven it can be used for more than a single operation yet...
The Serial Wombat 8B ecosystem - cheap WCH RISC-V microcontrollers loaded with an open-source firmware and installed on boards that act as smart dev-board expanders over I2C - grows four boards larger now, as Jonathan Broadwell launches a new #crowdfunding campaign.

And last but not least, a project from Max Reble which makes it possible to develop with the .NET framework on* the #Arduino UNO Q - adding support to the Arduino Router that lets the single-board computer side talk to the microcontroller side.
* Where "on" is expanded to mean "when tethered to a desktop running the full-fat .NET software development kit," anyway.

"Say the line, Bart!"
And all of that is available ad- and tracker-free (though with rumblings that I might add, shock horror, pictures at some point in the future maybe possibly) via the #GeminiProtocol, too:
