In this video, we take a look at a new release for the Raspberry Pi 4 called Raspbian XP Professional. This is a modified version of Raspbian and the creator has takin it to the next level with Everything you need on the Pi4 built right in from Box86, Emulators Like PPSSPP and Redream plus everything you need to get work done and its all made to look just like Windows XP or Windows 95!
This was put together by Pi Labs over here on YouTube and it’s available for download right now.
ESP32-CAM: Remote Control Object Detection Camera
In this project I am going to build an IP surveillance camera with the ESP32-CAM board. It would stream video via TCP to PC where we can do some AI tasks such as object detection, classification or segmentation.
Moreover, the ESP32-CAM board can control the servo motors to rotate from user request on PC.

The RaspberryPi based server that could transform edge computing
Cloud servers, you might think, are big expensive pieces of kit. But you’d be wrong, at least where the Turing Pi project is concerned.
This mini ITX format board costing under $200 allows seven Raspberry Pi systems to be combined into a desktop Kubernetes cluster that’s smaller than a sheet of A4 paper.
The board has 1 Gbps network capability, multiple I/O options including HDMI, and features like nodes power management via a I2C bus. Turing Pi is a platform for developing and hosting cloud-native apps locally or at the edge. Turing Machines, the company behind the project, believes that this hardware architecture could lay a new foundation for edge computing hardware principles.

Nintendo plans to produce 22 million Switch devices to address supply shortages
Nintendo’s Switch has sold more than 52 million units in just over three years, but the console remains a hot commodity. Right now, it’s nearly impossible to buy a Nintendo Switch without paying nearly two times the usual list price.
On Amazon, the only available option is resellers charging nearly double the standard $300 pricetag. The digital storefronts of Target, GameStop, Best Buy, and Walmart are simply out of stock with no refresh date in sight.
Terraonion Is Releasing An Optical Disc Emulator For The Sega Saturn And Dreamcast
We all live with the knowledge that everything put together eventually falls apart, but in the case of consoles based around optical media, the issue is pretty grave. Optical drives are prone to all kinds of problems – especially when they’re over 20 years old – and as a result, many of the CD-based systems out there will develop difficulties which can lead to them becoming totally useless.
That’s where the guys over at Terraonion come in. The company has already solved this issue on the PC Engine and Mega Drive / Genesis, but its next project is on a whole new level – it’s an optical disc emulator which effectively replaces the disc drive inside your Sega Saturn or Dreamcast, giving your machine a whole new lease of life.
How RollerCoaster Tycoon’s Shuttle Loop encouraged murder (lol)
By Alex Alusheff
I remember three things about playing RollerCoaster Tycoon as a kid: Leafy Lake, the carousel music and sending people to their deaths on the Shuttle Loop.
Come on, we’ve all done it. Just shorten the track, add some boosters and watch the show unfold.
I played RollerCoaster Tycoon a lot as a kid when it released in 1999. Who didn’t play this game back then? Aside from Legos, it was the closest thing to Minecraft for 90s kids.
I was 7 years old at the time and still very innocent. My mind didn’t automatically go into slaughter mode. RollerCoaster Tycoon presents you with the opportunity. But after a few hours, the game basically forces you to commit premeditated murder.

– 1/2″ or 3/4″ wood screws – Wood
Building a rude talking trashcan robot for TEDx Copenhagen // Omnirobot E1
I’m building a rude robot trashcan for the breaks at TEDx Copenhagen 2019. They asked us to build a rude moving trashcan with a voice and drive it with an “in your face” attitude at TEDx Copenhagen in Tivolisalen… so we did.
The robot is built around an Arduino Uno used as the main controller and an Arduino Nano for the motor control. Commucation is via an USB Host Shield and a Bluetooth dongle. 2 MDD10A 2.0 motorcontrollers were used to control the 4 JGB37-550 motors.
The mp3 player is a Serial mp3 player v1.0 and the amplifier and speakers come from a set of Z150 Logitech computer speakers. Battery is a Tattu 22000 mAh, 14.8V 4 cells LiPo battery. A DC-DC converter was used to deliver 5V for the controllers.
