I really have no excuse, I don’t live far from Cambridge and I guess I’ve just only ever seen Raspberry Pi content from American YouTubers like Jeff Geerling.
Since Maplin died I’m not aware of any tech stores I would go to when in search of something like a Pi or Arduino.
I’ve got an old Atom mini PC which I’m planning to install HomeAssistant on, but once that’s operational I’ll get some Pi bits and look into web hosting, email, NAS and voice assistant options.
I was under the assumption that Raspberry Pi was a US based company, but I just found out they are European and almost all made in Wales.
It’s probably the most European computer you can buy, with a massive following of enthusiastic developers creating alternatives for all the cloud services we are trying to stop using.
This has confirmed my choice to try and replace the US based cloud services my family and I are currently using.
Still in warranty or less than 3 years old? I saw the Reddit post on this issue, might still be worth asking, they may have developed a hardware of software fix, and if not they may allow you to switch model.
That noise is the heads being cleaned, which needs to happen on all inkjet printers. It may be that your one was simply broken. I bet if you call Brother and ask for some advice they will help you.
I’m thinking about putting a kit together to leave under windscreen wipers…
Option 1: dental floss to remove the Tesla badge. Option 2: a swastika sticker to put next to the Tesla badge.
That way we will know for certain if they are Nazis or not.
Called brother about this and talked through the issues raised by Rossmann, they convinced me enough to buy 3 printers from them this month.
Which printer and why? I just bought three L8690CDW Colour laser printers for me and my family after calling Brother who were happy to talk me thought my concerns, they informed me that this model does not have chipped cartridges so it’s ineligible for their cartridge subscription program and they also can’t tell if the cartridge is genuine or not. They don’t care if you use 3rd party toner.
Hey UK!
Can we just try not to be last for once, please?
Now you’ve done it! Just got clearance from the finance director to plan a day in Cambridge for some punting and Pi.
