Greetings! I hope that you are all keeping safe and well.

I thought that you may be interested in some forthcoming unboxings, as pictured. For a start, we have the Gold Play Button, which I plan to release from its packing in a special, extra video to post tomorrow (Wednesday 17th April). As you can see, Mr Scissors and Stanley are on hand! :)

And my opening-up tools will be kept busy, as there's also a Radxa X2L to be investigated, in a video that will post this Sunday (April 21st). This is a new SBC with an Intel J4125 processor, plus an RP2040 to handle GPIO. And with a $62 price tag for the model I purchased, including an active cooler, its pretty price competititive with a Raspberry Pi 5, or a mini PC (storage does need to be added, unless you pay an extra $10 for eMMC, which was not in stock  when I got mine). So I think the X2L already holds promise to be my top new SBC of 2024. We shall see!

Happy Times & Places,

Chris.
