Raspberry Pi 5 – What's New? New Features and Capabilities Explored

• Running Home Assistant on my RPI 4 and Pihole on my RPI5. Really looking forward to official POE Hat for RPI5. Saves space on the desk and don't have to run extra cable de.

• Raspberry Pi supply chain garbage. Never do business with a "partner" you can not trust

• 6:22 So RP had an entire generation to fix their broken USB-C power implementation and they STILL screwed it up?

  I’m freaking done with them at this point. I’m not going to be burned twice by this company’s inability to implement proper power standards.

• 平衡 旅

• I have absolutely NO NEED for an SBC, I have a Pi 3B+ I don't use for anything, as it's only the 1Gb RAM version, so rather useless for most things. It was bought to run a 3D printer software, for a printer I still haven't bought, and probably never will. The Pi 5 for me would be around $200AUD when I include the PS, Cooler, Case(either with the cooler or not at all, as there doesn't appear to be a case big enough to take the board with the big cooler yet, but I'm sure someone is building a version in CAD as I type). It's still fairly cheap, but is it a better option than some of the OTHER SBC's on the market now. I would only be buying it as a LAB TOY, and have no real need of either this or any other SBC…..DOES NOT STOP ME WANTING ONE THOUGH !!!!! I'd rather spend my money on shit for myself while I'm alive than have it go into consolidated revenue when I die….NOW, time to go shopping !!!

• I'm waiting for my Pi5 to arrive to be my new Kodi media center. I need more CPU and GPU power for higher resolution video.

• Cortex A76 is old….why didn't they use A78

• Using a PI5 as a media center with 120TB (yes, TB) of online storage and also a PI4 CM as a router/WiFi Hotspot

• Will get one soon.

• i bought the Official case in Singapore. One thing i hate is, it does not come with 4 screws to hold the Pi5. What are they thinking? i hav to use 2 x cable ties to hold the opposite side of the board. Simple things, they cannot get it right. i did not use that fan. i went with the Offiical Active cooler.

• In my opinion it should have been 8 cores like orange pi 5

• What does the [0] mean between your user and machine in the terminal?

• I always thought it was the RP1 that was designed in house – still quite an achievement.

• Jay! What are you running on your pi cluster?

• What was once attractive about the pi in general was the low cost. Now they are pushing it into the low end computer arena running linux and it's very capable at that. The problem is this… I can buy a fully encased mini-computer with ssd storage, etc… windows installed if I want to bang my head on the wall… wifi, bluetooth et al for around the same price as an 8G pi 5 with power supply, heat sink, fan and case… without any ram. They've priced themselves out of the market as competition in the mini-computer market has driven fully functional and usable computer prices down. So, the pi 5 is mostly usable for hardware experimentation and has reached overkill.

• I made the power supply mistake, thinking I have I USB-c Dell laptops and enough USB-C fast chargers: You live and learn 🙂

• Another great video! I especially loved, "Your Pi 5 will provide you with more power… As long as you provide it with more power." You have a very personable, friendly style. It's like having a friend over for the afternoon to talk shop about Linux and Linux devices. Keep up the good work!

• The RPi is no longer a competitive device. Back when it was first introduced, It was revolutionary; it brought SBC price into the range of a microcontroller board (like the Arduino).

  Today, Arduino's are replaced by a $5 ESP32. And an 8GB RPi5 (with case, power supply, NVMe and daughter board) cost more than a fanless N100 with 8GB RAM, dual 2.5Gb interfaces, 256GB NVMe, case, and power supply included (about $160). And the N100 is X86_64 and twice the performance. You're free to run any off the shelf x86_64 OS; Windows 11, Linux, a router OS, whatever.

  I loved RPi; I've bought several, and still run an RPi4 as a Wireguard termination for our LAN. But I don't plan on buying any more. Times have changed, and with that the price/performance equation has tilted to low-cost x86_64 hardware.

• I hate the new direction for rp. It was a 35$ board for entchusiasts and children in poor countries. Now its get the board, nothig is enough to power it, so buy this or buy that. Better to buy a chinise knockoff or a full size computer based on requrements for projects

• You're keeping your shirt in the wrong directory. Probably /usr/share/shirt would be a better location. I'd personally keep it in my home/Downloads directory

• Does it really have cryptography extension? finally?

• Can't watch this guy with all the hand movements, it's like his mouth is moved by his hands.

• I have a half dozen PI 5s, replacing out Pi 3B+ boards (still using PI 4s). For NVMe, the Pimoroni NVMe Base and Geekworm X1001work fine though I personally prefer the Pimoroni option. Its a nice base for the Pi while also putting the NVMe drive under the Pi board itself – Leaving better airflow above (also potentially more HATs). My PI 5s can run PCIe 3.0 without issue… SK Hynix P31 Gold NVMe drives work fine and run cool enough to be plenty happy sitting under the Pi. Only part I have trouble with? The FFC is a bit tricky to get lined up perfectly between either NVMe adapter and the Pi 5 itself… I (somehow) already managed to pop the retaining clip off 2 Pis and have it go flying, never to be seen again… Fortunately I was able to order a bunch of spare connectors from DigiKey, pull off their retaining clips, using them as replacements for the wayward originals.

• The easiest way is just to enable the max power support by modifying the file and using an old power supply. Or installing an other OS, since other OS don't disable the USB power by default. I am using a 3A power supply and it is running fine. I even know a guy that is using a 2A only without problems.

• Thank you very much for your hard work!
