Speaking of the #RaspberryPi CM5, there's a new carrier board coming out - an open-hardware design which adapts it into a mini-ITX form factor complete with x16 (mechanical, it's still one-lane) PCI Express slot.

When the #RaspberryPi Compute Module 5 came out, you couldn't use the IO Case's bundled fan and heatsink at the same time - which was spun as letting people try out passive and active cooling separately.
Well, that definitely-not-a-design-flaw-honest has been fixed: the latest IO Case shifts the fan to allow clearance underneath for the heatsink.
More #LLM news, but even I can't get mad at the idea they could help with accessibility (although there's the slight problem that you can't trust their output, which kinda pours cold water on this whole project): A11yShape, which uses an LLM to allow blind and visually-impaired developers to iterate on #OpenSCAD 3D models.

And finally, assuming the one waiting in the wings doesn't appear sharpish-like, more work on the rePalm project from Dmitry Grinberg as he ports Palm OS 5 to the Fisher-Price Pixter family of turn-of-the-century kids' toys.
I miss my Palm T|X. Lovely thing, that was.

Exciting news for Sinclair ZX81 owners with the launch of the OpenSpand, an open-hardware expansion cartridge which adds loads of memory, high-res graphics, SD Card storage, AY-chip and sampled audio, a joystick port, and even a fixed composite video output compatible with modern displays.
