📰 Raspberry Pi 6 won’t arrive before 2028 – and is skipping an NPU

The Raspberry Pi 6 won’t be released before 2028 and won’t feature an onboard NPU to handle AI compute when it does. Insight into their plans for the Pi 6 and when it’ll arrive were shared by three of the company’s key engineers and leaders in an AMA (ask me anything) session on Reddit on 21 May, 2026. Based on past launches the gap between major Pi models (Raspberry Pi 2, 3, 4 and 5) is around 3-4 years. The Raspberry Pi 5 launched in 2023.

📰 Radxa Dragon Q8B is a single-board PC with Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3, PCIe 3.0 and dual 2.5 GbE LAN

Last year Rada introduced a credit card-sized computer called the Dragon Q6A that looks like a Raspberry Pi, but which features a Qualcomm DragonWing QCS6490 processor and a PCIe 3.0 x2 connector. Now the company has launched a new model that’s a little larger, but which also brings a higher-performance processor and more I/O capabilities. .

📰 This Raspberry Pi e-ink display looks like framed wall art, and the software behind it is open source

One of my favorite things about e-Ink displays is that they don't look like displays. Sure, they are screens, and you can put whatever you want on them, but unlike LCDs, you can put an e-Ink display into a picture frame, and it won't look out of place. One excellent example just appeared in the Raspberry Pi community, and while the end product looks amazing, the software running it is an excellent tool for smart home displays.

📰 This maker built a daily briefing printer with a Raspberry Pi Zero, and the code is open source

Getting your daily briefing printed out on a little piece of paper is so much more satisfying than an email. Maybe it's the fact that the paper is a tangible thing you can hold, or maybe it's just because it looks like you're getting a briefing from some kind of secret agency; either way, it's a lot cooler than receiving your daily digest digitally.

📰 A $15 Raspberry Pi Zero 2W does Pi-hole better than any spare PC you have lying around

Every time I had to reboot my mini PC to update a Docker container, a VM, or just to apply patches, my entire home network went down with it. My family often noticed that before I did. My mini PC wasn’t struggling with the Pi-hole's load, but there was a simpler, yet just as problematic issue.
