Naughty Dog Layoffs - The developer is slimming down the QA department it would seem. Not renewing 25 contracts of temp workers mostly in that area. Though this round of “layoffs” has apparently massively delayed the development of the Last of Us multiplayer game.

Raspberry Pi 5 - Said to be 2 - 3 times faster than the previous generation. If you opt for a cased version this time around it will feature a cooling fan because the processor, while cheaper on power for individual tasks, has a significantly higher peak performance. 4GB model runs for $60 and the 8GB version runs for $80. Raspberry Pis can now support dual 4k60 monitors, and double the I/O.
