The Raspberry Pi began life as a simple teaching instrument designed to make it easier for young minds to learn to program. Today that’s still the primary purpose of Raspberry Pi devices, but the product has also taken on a new life as a hobbyist mini computer. In these two capacities, it has been used to create numerous other devices from TV boxes to robots. Although the Raspberry Pi is relatively easy to program by design, learning to set up the Raspberry Pi and create devices with it remains a challenge. That’s where course comes in. This course aims to teach you everything you need to know to enable you to develop your own Raspberry Pi devices.
The got most of the attention at Samsung’s recent Unpacked event, and quite understandably. also talked about its upcoming PlayGalaxy Link game streaming platform.

Kicking things off for today is an inexpensive Kingston 960GB SSD for just $89.99. If you still haven’t made the jump from a hard drive to an SSD, now is a perfect time. This 960GB SSD with its read/write performance of 500/450MB/s lags behind many other competing 2.5-inch SATA-III SSDs on the market, but it’s still far faster than any HDD. It’s also one of the least expensive SSDs of this size, and Amazon has it discounted further from $112.99 to $89.99. Now Read: Dell upgraded this laptop with one of Intel’s new 10th generation Core i5-10210U processors that has four CPU cores clocked at 1.6GHz.
Apple unveiled its upcoming trio of new iPhones today, covering the iPhone 11 and the new iPhone Pro product family. The company is retiring the confusing “XR” and “XS” brands that it deployed last year, in favor of a simplified structure. The iPhone 11 is just the iPhone 11, while the professional model will come in two flavors: iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max. As expected, these devices make camera features and technology a major component of their own value propositions. But the iPhone 11, at least, subtly nods to the fact that Apple’s price increases were anything but well-received last year.
Apple’s annual product refresh has just wrapped up, and it was a big one. Apple announced new online services, and updated versions of several mobile devices. We’ve already got a full rundown of the new , but here’s everything else Apple announced including the new iPad, Apple Watch, and more. The new iPad Apple’s fall event usually focuses on the iPhone and Apple Watch, but the company also squeezed in a new tablet: the 10.2-inch iPad (above). Surprisingly, this device keeps the physical home button and larger bezels than the current iPad Pro models. Apple is notoriously bad at providing details and specifications in events, so it’s unclear if the new iPad has a Lightning port, but that seems likely.
About 65 million years ago, the and countless other creatures were going about their business on Earth when a space rock dropped out of the sky and brought about the end of the Cretaceous Period. But what was that fateful day like? We have a better idea today thanks to the International Ocean Discovery Program, which . The asteroid struck near the present-day Yucatan Peninsula, producing the Chixculub crater. Most of the crater sits under the Gulf of Mexico, so that’s where the researchers collected their samples more than 1,600 feet below the seafloor. The rock cores taken from the crater paint a bleak but fascinating picture of that day 65 million years ago.
One ongoing question reviewers have been digging into for the past few weeks is the expected behavior of AMD 7nm Ryzen CPUs at high boost clock versus the actual, measured behavior. AMD promised to update the user community today, September 10, as to the expected behavior of its CPUs and what changes would be incorporated in upcoming UEFI revisions. To briefly recap: Reports in late July showed that some AMD CPUs were only reaching top boost clock frequency on a . Last week, overclocker Der8aurer reported the results of a user survey showing that AMD 7nm Ryzen CPUs were hitting their full boost clocks (the exact percentage varies by CPU model).
If you’re a fan of Apple products then today is your lucky day. You can take advantage of ongoing sales to save on several of Apple’s products, including one of its MacBook Air laptops.

On September 9, 1999, Sega launched the Dreamcast in North America — it’s last, best hope for relevance in the console market. The console, which was intended to put Sega on a more even footing against competitors like Sony, wound up being the company’s hardware swan song. Sega never launched another console — the company’s Genesis Mini, which releases on September 19, is the first Sega-branded hardware to ship in 20 years (not counting the products Tectoy produces in the Brazilian market). The Dreamcast is a rare example of a platform that failed despite having relatively few weaknesses or flaws relative to other consoles at the time.
