I’ve tested a lot of Raspberry Pi cases over the years, for all budgets. I know how hard it can be to pick the right one for your project and budget. The Pironman 5 Max and Pro Max are clearly the best options right now, but they are not cheap. So when Elecrow sent me…
I’ve tested so many accessories for RaspberryTips over the years that my closets and drawers are full of things I never use. But I also have a few ones that rarely leave my desk. They are essentials to my daily tests with Raspberry Pis. If you are looking for your next gadget, here are some…
Lots of people are saying “Raspberry Pi is dead” on social media or Reddit. If you spend some time there, you’ll quickly get the feeling that Raspberry Pis are a relic of the past, no longer relevant for various reasons. I get why they might think that, but I’m not fully on board with that…
I’ve tested and written about countless Raspberry Pi projects on RaspberryTips, and I usually focus on what makes them worth using. But over the years, I’ve also changed my mind about a few projects I once used regularly. Popular services like Plex, Pi-Hole, OpenVPN, MotionEye and Samba are no longer part of my tech stack….
Raspberry Pi isn’t really a skill in itself. It’s not something you’ll put on your CV like Windows administration or Office use. So if you’re buying a Raspberry Pi just to become “good at Raspberry Pi”, you’re missing the point. For me, Raspberry Pi is like a training ground where I can try out different…
After testing so many Raspberry Pi projects over the years, I have a pretty good idea of what works well, what is genuinely useful, and what I would keep even if I only had one Raspberry Pi at home. A Raspberry Pi can support many home projects, but the three I rely on most are…
Pi-Hole, with Retropie or Magic Mirror, is one of those projects that somehow always makes it to the “best Raspberry Pi projects” lists. If you have a Raspberry Pi, it’s hard not to know about it. So obviously, I’m a big fan and using it myself at home, right? Well, not so fast… Setting up…
I know, I know. When you see the current Raspberry Pi prices and compare them to the much cheaper boards on AliExpress, it’s hard to resist. Some of them even have better specs on paper. So why pay more for a Raspberry Pi when all those “fruit Pi” boards seem to do the same thing?…
After writing 600+ Raspberry tutorials on RaspberryTips, it’s easy to think a Raspberry Pi can do pretty much everything. And basically, it does. But does that mean it’s a good idea to use a Raspberry Pi for anything? Probably not. The Raspberry Pi is an excellent tool to experiment with Linux servers or electronics and…
Raspberry Pi starter kits are already getting pretty expensive these days, and it’s easy to think you need everything to get started: a case, keyboard, mouse, and… a dedicated monitor. Well, in most cases you don’t really need any of that stuff. You’ll only need a Raspberry Pi monitor in a few specific situations, like…
