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.

Open-hardware carrier converts the computer-on-module in to a mini-ITX board, complete with full-size 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.

Fresh new Rev. 2 models address a flaw in the original designs, and finally let you mount both the heatsink and fan at the same time.

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.

Back to #science again next with the "Speech-to-Reality" system, a chain of machine learning models - including, yes, #LLMs - which attempt to turn spoken instructions into physical objects built from standardised parts.

A Replicator. They've built a #StarTrek Replicator. Kind of.

There's still one in the queue (and one embargoed until tomorrow,) but here's my latest for #Hackster - starting with one from last week I hadn't mentioned yet: a project to generate sound which can be picked up by smartphone microphones to help locate people (or, I guess, their phones) buried under rubble after a disaster.
