Then a neat project to build a seven-segment clock out of nothing but a crystal and a bunch of discrete CMOS logic chips - schematic available if you want your own!

Dilshan Jayakody's Desk Clock Keeps Great Time in Nothing But CMOS Logic Chips

Who needs a microcontroller just to know what time it is? Not you, if you build this clever clock.

A quiet design change to the #RaspberryPi 4 next, as the company tries to battle ongoing RAM component price rises caused by the #AI bubble: it can now take either one full-capacity or two half-capacity DRAM chips, just like Sinclair's classic ZX81!
