Welcome to the Tech Meme Right Home for Monday, November 2nd, 2020.

I'm Brian McCullough today.

Raspberry Pie launches the Raspberry Pie 400. All the big platforms plans for

election day and beyond.

Huawei is going to make its own chips because it has to.

Gaming continues to lead the way into the future in so many ways, and the Kafka-esque nightmare

power supply micro-sd card, hdMI cable and user manual that will run you a hundred bucks

right that's because the pie 400 is just a compact keyboard

that you're supposed to plug into any sort of screen

and just go with, you know, a computer attached, quoting the verge.

The Raspberry Pie 400's form factor immediately brings to mind early home computers like the BBC micro or

ZX spectrum and that's no accident. Although Raspberry Pie's small computers have become a popular

tool for hobbyists to do everything from building inexpensive airplay receivers to automating smart homes.

At their core, they're designed as accessible computers to help children learn to code.
