Daily Tech News 26 September 2025
Top Story
- Raspberry Pi has announced the Raspberry Pi 500+, which is what everyone had hoped the Raspberry Pi 500 would be, but. (Raspberry Pi)
Specifically, it includes an M.2 slot - and comes with a 256GB M.2 SSD - so storage is many times faster than using microSD cards.
It also includes 16GB of RAM instead of 8GB on the Pi 500, and 4GB on the Pi 400.
If also has a mechanical keyboard. Including the Four Essential Keys, which the 400 and 500 are both missing.
Unfortunately, all this comes at a price: Compared with the $66 Pi 400 and $90 Pi 500, it costs $200. Not unreasonable given the capabilities and quality, but something that is not quite as easy an impulse buy.
Tech News
- Meanwhile over at Beelink's online store, the Me Mini is selling at one third off MSRP - cut from $329 to just $209. (Beelink)
Since I was already considering one when supply reached Australia, and that comes with free shipping and a choice of power cords, I bought one. The blue model, in memory of the classic Cobalt Qube.
$209 for a six-drive M.2 NAS is a steal, and this seems to have fewer issues than some of the four-drive models. It's not a high-end solution with its Intel N150 CPU and 12GB of soldered RAM, but it's $200.
- TikTok is being sold, with 45% of the US company going to a consortium headed by Oracle, Silverlake, and MBX. (The Verge)
35% will be held by investors in parent company ByteDance, and the remaining 20% will simply evaporate or something.
- Zen 6 and apparently also Zen 7 are headed to current AMD motherboards. (YouTube)
According to latest leaks, not only next year's Zen 6, with up to 24 cores, but 2028's Zen 7 with up to 32 cores will be continuing on with current AM5 motherboards and chipsets, and DDR5 RAM.
Lots of discussion also on next-generation RDNA5 graphics - including low-end models that will use LPDDR5X or LPDDR6 memory instead of GDDR6/7, and interchangeable GPU chiplets.

477 Dilemma. The fentynyl addict's girlfriend will be released from a detox center in Charlotte NC tomorrow morning. Her parents reside in Charlotte and place her in detox after driving to Dallas to visit her over a month ago. I assume this has been very expensive for them, both in terms of money and trust. But the life of a daughter is priceless.
The fentynyl addict himself has let slip he plans to pick the girl up when she is released tomorrow morning. He is still addicted and will drag her back down into the hell her family just rescued her from.
I feel obligated to warn the father. I can probably find Mr Rose by reverse searching his daughter's phone number on people finder until I find a Lauren Rose with addresses in Boston (born there), Dallas and Charlotte.
Part of me says don't get involved. The other part says Lauren will die homeless if I don't warn her father. I don't see a downside to warning the father. Am I missing anything?

Restrictions on TikTok in the United States
The short-form video-hosting service TikTok has been under a de jure nationwide ban in the United States since January 19, 2025, due to the US government's concerns over potential user data collection and influence operations by the government of the People's Republic of China. However, the ban has yet to be enforced. ... On January 18, 2025, the day before the deadline of the law, TikTok voluntarily suspended its services in the United States, even though Biden had declined to enforce the ban on his last day in office. ... On January 20, [2025], the first day of his term, Trump signed an executive order that halted enforcement of the ban for a 75-day period while his administration pursues a potential sale of TikTok to American owners. ...

The missus touched off a nasty spat concerning a proposed plan for how best to set up equipment in two large halls for any upcoming event (and was right to do so, I must add). The whole thing was touched off by the action of an incompetent and unprofessional newbie to the same task last year, and the proposed plan in essence awarded that person for their prior selfish behavior
After a couple of rounds of cannonading, she told them that she was done with the matter. Now the "arties of the first art" are begging and pleading with her to come back to the fold of "comity and let's all get along-ness" because they "value her input". She's having none of it -- "I have better things to do with my time."

Many of the other drivers I talk to tell me similar tales as well. It's what the bus monitors have to deal with (those people we put on problem buses who try to keep control while the driver concentrates on driving) that really makes me wince. Those people have seen things. One of them told me tales in the yard the other day. No I'm not going into details here, you don't want to know. Just... Yikes.
Also: I'll mention you and your family situation in my prayers today, for the desire that the rough spots be smoothed out, and also for your rummage sale and the desire to pray with people who need that.

He had been doing fine, as much as fine can be in his condition, for the past few weeks.
But on Tuesday he started having problems breathing which got worse over Wednesday to the point we had to give him a small dose of Morphine mixed with Lorazepam to calm him down and help him sleep early Thursday morning. I had to give him more later in the morning, and he slept again.
He left us peacefully in his sleep sometime after that as I found him around 5 p.m., discovered he’d passed, and had to call the hospice nurse in who pronounced him deceased after 6.
I’ve been watching him deteriorate for a year and a half, so I was prepared as I could be, I suppose, but I thought we’d get a few more months with him, because he seemed to be doing well with little pain from the cancer.
He’d only been in hospice care for about a month. So there is comfort knowing he did not have to suffer for too long. I just didn’t expect it yesterday.
He is with my mother again, now.
They were married for over 58 years, and he was heartbroken since she passed.
He lived a good & decent life and did his best always.
The good Lord has now called him home.

Remember the good times with your father, tell others tales of him in the years to come.

>>Hegseth orders hundreds of senior military officers to Virginia for highly unusual meeting
Not sure why a boss having a meeting with his subordinates is unusual but that's what the MSM are going with as their stray voltage tag line.

I seem to have suddenly sprung a leak around the face writing all of this, so I’ll just say thanks again, and you should all know it helps.
I’ve got a long day ahead, so I will be back when I get the chance and feel up to it.

A congressional aide told CNN that unless Hegseth planned to announce “a major new military campaign or a complete overhaul of the military command structure, I can’t imagine a good reason for this.”

The military is different. I assume the most unusual parts of this are that he's pulling in all the theater commanders and he's doing all the branches at once.
Generally speaking, even if he wanted face time with all of them, they'd be likely to split the branches.

MILLER: George Shultz, for many of us, was like God. He was a really good guy… He’d have all new ambassadors in to his office, one at a time, as they went out for a five, maybe 10 minute chat.
And he’d say, “OK, Mr. Ambassador or Madame Ambassador, you’ve passed all the tests. You’ve been confirmed by the Senate and you’ve passed your security investigation. You’ve done all the things to get the position of ambassador, but you have to pass my test. I have one more for you.” And he’d take them over in the Secretary’s office to where there was this massive globe, and he’d say, “I’m going to spin the globe and I want you to put your hand on your country.”

"...and did his best always," is a great tribute to your father's character. Seems as if you learned well from him, did your best, too, and now he's in peace.
