Seems that ICASA finally approved, the 5 is now in stock at PiShop.

I saw the mail. Bought 3 now. Hoping I can run home assistant off of it soon.

Ordered my kit this morning. Hopefully I'll have it within the next couple of days.

Still micro HDMI and the same crappy case with no airflow? No thanks.

4GB is in stock now!

Sadly, after not thinking too long, decided not do buy... 1080p60 YouTube videos still dropping frames... Can be lowered from 12% to 2% with overclocking as per ETAPrime on YouTube. Maybe Pi 6?

Great news! Your PiShop order has been shipped and your goodies are on their way to you and should arrive soon.

Delivered about an hour ago. Unfortunately I have actual work to do, so can only get into it later.

There's probably a chance that this can be improved with drivers/firmware down the line.

I just realized that I didn't order a case - only the official cooler. Guess I'll have to 3D print one!

Ok no I am looking at building a weather station. WTF?
Any tips?
