Yeah a voltage regulator would be a bad idea, however a well designed DC-DC buck converter can be in the 95%+ efficiency range and produce very little heat.

The Pi can actually be higher in some cases in my experience.
I have a pair of passively cooled PCs with i3-7100u CPUs, RAM, and a single NVMe drive each, and they draw around 1-2W when idle.


Digikey has the official espressif dev boards, if you want decent quality ones.

Everything about how they’ve handled the release, including their new ‘slow reveal’ where they reveal tests for 1 feature a week, but are just showing fairly useless stuff, just screams scam to me.
If they really had the battery they claim I feel like showing verified wh/kg numbers would be first priority. As they could easily sell it without all this weird ‘suspense’ they’re trying to build.


Yeah I see a lot of projects where people are trying to use Pi’s for things better served by an x86 box with a low power CPU or similar.


For now at least, google will likely remove that option in the future.


uBlock Origin too if you don’t already have it.


Yeah from what I’ve seen OSM is really well filled out over there. I add what I can in my town in the US, but it’s a lot to keep up with businesses changing hours and whatnot all the time (small town things)


I think this is a good example of how Matrix does support most of the things we expect from Discord, but the defaults are sometimes wrong (showing rooms from spaces if not in a space), and the sheer number of client apps that are all slightly different and outdated in various ways adds a ton of friction to using it.
Yet another one of these systems, they pop up every year or so. They’re always less effecient than a chain, and rather pointless as pedaling normally on an ebike works better anyways.
