Certainly of the Half dozen USB keyboards I own Of course, children and home users in general own half a dozen of keyboards they can chose from.. I suppose you also have half a dozen of spare PSU to chose from too... Like most of us .. ;) By expensive, I meant that suppliers are surfing on this to ...

That's the problem with pre loaded SD cards, almost always they are old images and the Pi has a whole range of different OSes and updates. If you loaded the SD card yourself, there's a very good chance you could tell us what image you used and we'd have a starting point. The recentish versions of th...

Oye ! But reading this thread I'm really confused about the aim of this board... it aims to be cheap/affordable but then you need to buy expensive class 10 SD card, expensive good PSU, expensive good keyboard... So it is cheap for the foundation, it is not for the poor children... Really good for s...

Not quite public yet, but I have a Google account so I could log in and see it. If its doing the same on 3 different supplies, its back to Pi's number two problem after power supplies - the SD card. Do you have the technology to re-flash the card ? (Basically a SD card reader on your PC). Reflashing...

Posting the image on a publicly accessible server would help.

If enough Pi's get used in a system critical scenario, somebody somewhere will be flogging a UPS to suit. To do it right, it communicates with the computer and tells it to do a controlled shutdown before its batteries give out. Hmmm, using a cheapo Pi for something system critical probably isn't th...

Join the growing band who use both : http://www.pluggy.me.uk/raspberry/piduino3.jpg The arduino bit of this is a fraction of the cost of an actual Arduino. The arduino's real time and analog with the power and flexibility of the Pi. The pi is little more expensive than an Ethernet shield for an Ardu...

I got really disappointed of model b, first of all you should make the pi use the same language as windows I bought it and downloaded debian pi os, really hard to use and understand (did 3 hrs of googling and found nothing) make it support vga because i had to buy a screen that supported dvi which ...

sudo passwd root Will usually enable the root account on any linux. There has to be root account but running as root on a desktop type environment isn't a good idea. The root account is disabled by just not giving it a password in all the distros I've met. Giving the root user a password enables it...

Very little will protect against loss of power if its being written to at the time of failure. The computer will tend to "scribble" to the storage device in its dying milliseconds, whatever the file system used. And scribbling isn't very well structured so what you're left with in in the lap of the ...

I'm firmly of the opinion that the Pi should have had a 2.1mm DC socket and be supplied with its own power supply rather than trusting to the lottery of using phone chargers. The Arduino had it right.......

Its finding one who stocks ones to fit NZ sockets and who will ship there. I can pretty much guarantee that 98% of the companies that sell over the internet on their own website also sell on Ebay. A vendor on Ebay I've dealt with several time runs a local computer shop. And my distributer of choice ...

With the number of fakes around and general cheap c**p stuff what it says on the label doesn't mean much......

I think the choice of LXDE has as much to do with the limited CPU performance of the Pi as its memory. I don't think that will be changing any time soon.

pluggy

In this neck of the woods there are small firms that sell into the electronics/micro-controller world that also deal with the Pi. But I can't find anything for NZ. It probably hasn't reached 'critical mass' over there yet. Many of the firms that deal with the more established 'Arduino' deal with the...

I'm a fan of 'Pi power supplies' sold on Ebay, since if it doesn't work with a Pi you have a valid complaint. The internet has convinced me that NZ uses the same power connectors as Aus so : http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Aus-Power-Supply-Raspberry-Pi-/110965495031?pt=AU_comp_dekstop&hash=item19d60f14f7...

I think having a nice setup for making a firewall/router/filter is possibly a little specialised for the Pi's intended market. OK, probably 90% of 'em have been bought by geeks who know what 2 NIC ports could be used for...... Networking (wired or wireless) that wasn't dependent on the Pi's flawed U...

Linux is flexible enough to handle what will run in 512 in 256, it starts paging like Windows does and does a good impression of a slug on Valium (not just a slug like an unstressed Pi), but it will will still work. I'm happy with my 2 Pis of 2 different revisons with 256mb, the next one being 512mb...

Since the overclocking doesn't back off until 85 C (and these chips typically run in totally non ventilated smartphones and stuff) I wouldn't consider 60 or 70 C a problem. I've measured the gizzards of some perfectly ordinary desktops with good ventilation where the Northbound chipset runs at 60 C+...

so it doesnt matter wether I have or have not those polyfuses then what is wrong with my RPi ? :( It does matter, but it depends on several variables. The polyfuses vary wildly in how much voltage they drop between individual Pi's and wifi adapters pull more power the further you are from your rout...

You are indeed being unnecessarily cynical.
