If there’s anything that Raspberry Pi does so well, aside from making cost-effective computer machines, is that they listen to their consumers’ opinions and apply them. With the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, this model has made a lot of progress compared to the earlier ones.
Raspberry Pi users were asking for a computer machine that could provide a complete desktop experience, and the demands did not fall on deaf ears. The latest model has a higher speed, efficiency, and overall performance. It allows users to do multiple things at once, like opening multiple tabs and running several programs, without any lag issues.

Compute Module 3+
The Compute Module 3+, also known as the CM3+, is the model that serves to replace the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3. It differs from other Raspberry Pi model boards in the sense that it comes in a thinner or slimmer and more compact structure because it is for use in industrial appliances and not to operate a home computer.
The notable feature that we find the need to point out is its ability to work for long periods without issues. It can sustain a heavy load of work without overheating. The heat spreading feature is there to ensure that the CPU will be able to maintain a lower average temperature, or it will take a longer time …

Introducing the Raspberry Pi Commander
The gaming scene has taken a turn ever since the 80s and 90s. Until now, gaming wouldn’t stop rising to popularity. Kids used to ask their parents to buy them the latest games for their latest Nintendo 64 or Playstation consoles.
Nowadays, the gaming industry has dramatically evolved. Anyone who is tech-savvy or someone willing to learn can produce a promising gaming unit as long as one has the right components and makes some tweaks here and there.
Take, for example, Adrien Castel. He made The MagPi 95. He recycled an old toy and re-structured it into a video game controller that still had the 80s vibe.
The MagPi…
