## Summary

Editors Elliot Williams and Tom Nardi discuss the future of single-board computers, noting that the Raspberry Pi Foundation's educational goals may be met as mini-PCs become cheaper, while the RP2040-based Pico handles simpler tasks. They review the Beat Barry, a handheld Linux device built around a Raspberry Pi Zero and a repurposed Blackberry keyboard, and a tiny 3D-printed robot using an ESP32. The hosts also cover reverse-engineering a Philips Sonicare toothbrush's NFC chip, the rise of electric and autonomous farm equipment, and a DIY tipping-bucket rain gauge.
