Welcome to my little corner of RU-vid that has some great videos on stuff... all sorts of stuff.

This is not really an unboxing channel; other people have done that. My approach is to take every-day items old and new, use them for an unspecified duration, and then tell you how they are... simple. I might even make some cool how-to videos if you think I should. Sit back and relax, put the kettle on for a brew, crack open your favourite snack, and enjoy.

If you like any of my videos please subscribe, comment and like.... every click helps.

** This channel is for educational purposes only **


** If you see anyone in the comments claiming to be WTT and say you have won something, it is a scam. If my channel gets big enough to do giveaways, it will be announced in the video with instructions on how to participate **

Thanks for sharing. NOTE: I tried this on the Zero 2 (yes, I know the title says Pi 5), and it only works on PI 4 or higher.

Thank you. If anyone is remotely into using BOINC i think running a Pi5 for is very cost affective, unless your a power user that needs to run it on a beefy graphics card. My Pi5 crunches far better than my very old Mac mini for far less power consumption. Ive run BOINC on Pi's for over six years now 24/7 still got a Pi3 crunching away but I intend to replace my Pi3s and Pi4s with just a 2 or 3 of Pi5 and they will do the same amount of work for less power.

Had the atari 130xe that came with a disk and cassette drive. Had played alley cat on the cassette drive and man loved every bit of it and specifically how I had to wait for the game to load up. Unfortunately, the cassette drive had stopped working and had many other games on the cassette tape. Love the sound effects of the game, and the graphics were great for the Atari.

Same my original was on tape also, I started with 600XL and moved to the 130XE which I still have. My tape deck stopped working years ago so I need to fix that one day. Its was always the sound and graphics that amazed me on Alley Cat, Thanks for watching.

What I always say to people that have issues. Temporarily get another spare SD card install a fresh latest Pi OS then update and apply the new eeprom Once the update is done it’s in the firmware on the Pi so then you can just pull that SD card out and go back to your normal card the update will be install OK

The Pi 4 has a different bootloader so the version number is different. The Pi 4 has had this feature for well over a year. But you can update the Pi 4 bootloader with the same command in the same way as the video to make sure your running the latest version.
