• The Raspberry Pi 500 is here for $90.  (Liliputing)
  
  The Pi 500 is to the Pi 5 what the Pi 400 was to the Pi 4.  That is, it's a computer in a keyboard based on the Raspberry Pi 5.
  
  It's twice as fast as the Pi 4 and has twice as much memory.  It's capable enough for basic computing and not just a novelty.
  
  It also almost has an M.2 slot.  Which is to say it doesn't have one at all, but it has a place where one could go.  In theory.
  
  The existing Pi 400 has received a price cut to $60.
  
  The Pi 500 will be available in a kit including a mouse and power supply for $120.
  
  At the same time Raspberry Pi announced a 15" 1080p monitor for $100.

• Indie game hub Itch.io got taken offline because some kid uploaded a fan page for a Funko Pop game.  (Torrent Freak)
  
  Funk Pop apparently uses a third-party service which acts like a rabid badger whenever it spots the term "funko" anywhere.  To make matters worse, Itch's domain registrar is kind of stupid.
  
  
  
• Intel's Arc B580 looks like a strong competitor at its price point.  (Tom's Hardware)
  
  Compared with Nvidia's 4060, AMD's 7600, and Intel's own previous generation A750, the B580 wins pretty consistently - and also offers more memory.
