🎉 I MADE THE COVER! 🎉 My feature, Build a 4K @Raspberry_Pi Media Player, is in the latest issue of the fab @TheMagPi Magazine - check it out here: magpi.raspberrypi.org/articl…
Bit late to the party, but if any @home_assistant users have @pimoroni's Mote and want to control it as a native RGB light, I've put together a quick lightweight add-on here: github.com/raspberrycoulis/m…
Erm @BBCNews, what about Taylor Hawkins? bbc.in/3hGUunK
As a backer of their successful LYRA project a few years back on @Kickstarter, the team at @creoqode have just launched LYRA+ which utilises a @Raspberry_Pi CM4 to really pack-a-punch for handheld #gaming on-the-go. Check it out at kickstarter.com/projects/cre…!
Yikes! Just placed yet another order (my 24th apparently) with @pimoroni. My go-to @Raspberry_Pi supplier since 5 September 2013 according to my order history... Also realised I've spent over £1k on goodies since then too! 🤓 Don't tell my wife... #shh #addicted
Can't beat a bit of #8bit retro (and the twinkly LEDs just draws me in somehow...!) @NostPop - I can imagine this being something you'd like too perhaps? pixeltime.kckb.st/e9014bca
What has @DerbyCC done to the traffic lights at #pentagonisland? It is now chaos in rush hour as people seem to be blocking the island due to how the new traffic lights are set up. No problems before this installation! @derbyshire_live anybody else noticed this?

Thank you to @raspberrycoulis for this fabulous review of the new 4th Edition of #RaspberryPi @ForDummies, co-written by @Wee_Grumphie and myself. raspberrycoulis.co.uk/review… #Python #Scratch #Linux #electronics
Anybody who's interested in IoT / maker projects, take a look at @fingoti's Pebl that is live right now on @Kickstarter. I'm already an early bird, and they're about 50% of the way there: kickstarter.com/projects/fin… #fingoti #pebl #kickstarter
After 2 years, @fingoti has just re-launched their Pebl IoT device on @Kickstarter. I was a backer in 2019, and I am again now. Looks like a great piece of kit for any IoT fan - and are UK based too! kickstarter.com/projects/fin… #IoT #getbacking #digitalmaker
Is your @Raspberry_Pi tucked out of sight? Worried about network connectivity issues? Then you should try my simple bash script… No WiFi? Reboot! #selfhosted #problemsolver github.com/raspberrycoulis/n…

I guess @AldiUK don’t care about quality control in their supply chain then... no reply to my tweet yesterday! 🤨 #fail #CustomerService #CustomerFeedback – at Derby, England
@AldiUK I’m not quite sure, but I think this packet of Snackrite Onion Rings we bought from your Derby store isn’t quite right. It’s only half full btw (one packet worth). Manufacturing issue perhaps? 🧐

Wow. what fantastic guys and gals they have over at @ThatCable. @dhlexpressuk appear to have lost my order, yet despite this, the team at That Cable have gladly sent a replacement out - no charge - so it arrives in time for my DIY project on the weekend. #NowThatsWhatICallService
Ok, so now @BBCWatchdog. Please can you note that @curryspcworld and @TeamKnowhowUK are totally incompetent at customer service. They still owe me 2/3 of my refund that has taken weeks to get this far. Waiting on gift cards but the team seems to skim read complaints. – at Derby, England
Because I paid with a mix of credit card and gift cards, they need to refund in the same ratio - I get that - but so far I’ve only received £76.86 of my £180 payment yet nobody at @TeamKnowhowUK seems to care. @BBCWatchdog I’d be amazed if others aren’t in the same boat. – at Derby, England
Good lord. @TeamKnowhowUK just replied, and yet again they didn’t read my message properly! Telling me stuff I already know. Where are my gift cards that form my refund? It’s been weeks since I started this complaint and so far it’s just farce after farce. – at Derby, England
