Raspberry Pi's profits are up. So is its DRAM bill

The AI gold rush is proving good for Raspberry Pi's bottom line, but it's also forcing the low-cost computer maker to borrow money to keep enough memory chips in stock. In a trading update published on Friday, Raspberry Pi said it expects full-year earnings to come in significantly ahead of market expectations after a stronger-than-expected first half driven by healthy demand, higher average selling prices, and the benefit of lower-cost memory inventory purchased earlier. Raspberry Pi...

UK's Raspberry Pi shares hit record as industrial demand boosts outlook

UK's Raspberry Pi shares hit record as industrial demand boosts outlook June 5 : Britain's Raspberry Pi on Friday upgraded its full-year profit outlook, sending shares of the single-board computer maker to an all-time high. The Cambridge-based company said strong pricing and demand from industrial customers helped it weather soaring memory-chip costs, though its profitability per unit would moderate in the second half as the inventory of chips secured at lower prices begins to shrink....

UK's Raspberry Pi lifts annual profit forecast on strong first-half results

UK's Raspberry Pi lifts annual profit forecast on strong first-half results June 5 : Single-board computing company Raspberry Pi on Friday raised its full-year 2026 profit forecast, saying strong AI-related demand was expected to result in adjusted core profit "significantly ahead" of market expectations for the year. The company expects first-half core profit of at least $38 million, with unit shipments of over 4 million for the six months ending June 30. The performance is likely to be...

Scheduling Analysis of UAV Flight Control Workloads on PREEMPT_RT Linux Using a Raspberry Pi 5

arXiv:2604.19275v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Modern UAV architectures increasingly aim to unify high-level autonomy and low-level flight control on a single General-Purpose Operating System (GPOS). However, complex multi-core System-on-Chips (SoCs) introduce significant timing indeterminism due to shared resource contention. This paper performs an architectural analysis of the PREEMPT RT Linux kernel on a Raspberry Pi 5, specifically isolating the impact of kernel activation paths...

Raspberry Pi raises profit forecast as AI demand grows

The firm said it expected to deliver adjusted earnings of at least $38m (£28.2m) for the first half of 2026.

Avian Visitors

Avian Visitors I was initally planning on leaving this as a ‘true’ personal project of sorts. I love a good project writeup of course, but frankly I thought this was too quick an afternoon project to warrant any more documentation than a tweet. Twitter thought otherwise … i mounted a tiny microphone on my apartment balcony to listen for any birds passing by and built a site to collage them as they're heard pic.twitter.com/85KrLRL5tu —

I tested every IP KVM in my Homelab

I tested every IP KVM in my Homelab Since the PiKVM came out in 2017, there's been an explosion of IP KVMs. I've tested almost every one. But what are they good for?

RIP software hackathons. Long live the hardware hackathon

I took part in a hackathon in Vilnius the other weekend (courtesy of Basedcollective) during the pink soup festival. I brought along an old rotary phone and our two-man team spent the next 48 hours sticking our fingers in it. We wired a Raspberry Pi into the phone which interfaced with all of its IO and communicated with our server via a single websocket connection which controlled everything from two-way audio, the bell ringer (with custom frequency and audio patterns) and the hangup switch.
