Your new Raspberry Pi 4 won’t power on? USB-C cable problem now officially confirmed
The Pi’s co-creator Eben Upton has confirmed that not every USB-C cable will power the Pi. The Raspberry Pi Foundation has confirmed that the recently released Raspberry Pi 4 won’t work when powered using some USB-C cables.

Raspberry Pi 4 running hot? New update will cool your board down
Firmware update should reduce board temperatures by 3C to 5C. If you thought your new Raspberry Pi 4 was running a bit hot then help is at hand.

New Raspberry Pi 4 Firmware Reduces Temperatures, Boosts Performance
The Raspberry Pi 4’s improved specifications promise significantly improved performance compared with the Raspberry Pi 3B, but benchmarks have shown there’s a snag: heat. Under significant multi-core load, the RBP4 can hit 80C fairly easily, causing the chip to throttle.

Raspberry Pi: Bring the chill to your Raspberry Pi 4 for just US$20 with an ICE Tower CPU Cooling Fan
Single board computers (SBCs) tend to passively cool their SoCs, primarily because they generate little to no heat compared to even their laptop equivalents.

RPi USB Wi-Fi Adapters
Many of these are applicable to many adapters. These adapters are known to work on the Raspberry Pi. This list is not exhaustive, as other adapters may well work, but have not yet been tried. You can help by expanding it.

Witty Pi 3: Realtime Clock and Power Management for Raspberry Pi
Witty Pi 3 is the third generation of Witty Pi, and it is the descendant of Witty Pi 2. It adds realtime clock (RTC) and power management to your Raspberry Pi, and can define complex ON/OFF sequence with simple script.

GPD P2 Max 8.9 inch mini laptop will come with a USB LED light (since the keyboard isn’t backlit)
The GPD P2 Max is one of the better mini-laptops I’ve tested in recent years, thanks to decent performance and a bigger screen and keyboard than you’ll find on any GPD device to date. But one issue I noted in my review of this 8.
