  • Are you using the working keys on the builtin keyboard?

    It would be great to find a software solution.

    A hardware solution would be to unplug the keyboard if you are always using an external keyboard. As long as it will bolt with the internal keyboard unplugged.

    Plus, the other person’s suggestion to replace the keyboard.

    Kinda risky, but you could also see if you can unsolder or cut the track to that specific broken key. There is the risk of completely borking the keyboard, though.










  • We could keep the 0 hour as the “middle” of the night and 12 being the “middle” of the day (though I’m not sure if that’s really the sun’s high spot for the day for any places).

    But with fully controlled mirrors, we could make it exactly 12 hours, so we could just then switch to the 0 hour being when the sun comes up.

    It’s pretty simple, actually. A village somewhere in Europe that is completely in the shade all day for part of the year has already proven it.

    Mirrors.

    We just need a ring of motorized mirrors around the Earth.

    At hour 0, the mirrors will rotate to show sun all across the entire Earth.

    At hour 12, the mirrors will rotate to put all of the Earth into night time.

    That lets the entire Earth have the exact same synchronized time synchronized with the daylight.

    The mirrors will block the sun from parts of the earth facing during the night.

    The mirrors will constantly be rotating to keep the proper amount of sun light facing each part of Earth as the Earth rotates.

    The mirrors will be solar powered.

    This will fix it, right?









  • Raspberry Pi Connect needs your Raspberry Pi to be running a 64-bit distribution of Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm that uses the Wayland window server. This in turn means that, for now, you’ll need a Raspberry Pi 5, Raspberry Pi 4, or Raspberry Pi 400.

    At the moment, the Raspberry Pi Connect service has just a single relay (TURN) server, located in the UK. This means that if rpi-connect chooses to relay traffic, the latency can be quite high.

    Our intention is that Raspberry Pi Connect will remain free (as in beer) for individual users with non-relayed connections, with no limit on the number of devices.
