Computer Engineering for Big Babies Jeff Geerling 2024-03-24 | The book is 'Computer Engineering for Big Babies,' the second in the 'Computer Engineering for Babies' series. I just love these little books, and so far the original has held up to four kids' rambunctious usage. It's not perfect—it relies on light hitting optical sensors to denote the current page—but it's fun, and the kids mostly love pressing the buttons.

Overclocking Raspberry Pi 5 to 3.14 GHz on Pi Day Jeff Geerling 2024-03-14 | Some said it couldn't be done. In fact, *I* said it couldn't be done, this morning!Then I did it! Happy Pi Day, here are some resources if you want to try overclocking *your* Pi 5 beyond 3.0 GHz—but be warned, you will be running experimental firmware if you do this: - github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/1876 - Argon THRML 60mm tower cooler: amzn.to/43gYmPM - My video on Pi silicon: youtube.com/watch?v=WKrt1E5fxLgSince many people have asked for a link, here's the set of mini needle-nose pliers I used in the video: amzn.to/3TBA6EQ (Hakko CHP PN-2007). I probably use them more than any other pliers I've bought, in fact I just bought another pair so I can have one up front with the Macs :)Argon sent this particular cooler unit as a test sample, though I have another one I purchased separately at home. This video isn't sponsored, and there are a variety of great cooling options that should work with most overclocks (even the $7 Pi Active Cooler), and an Ice tower cooler would give pretty similar results.Support me on Patreon: patreon.com/geerlingguySponsor me on GitHub: github.com/sponsors/geerlingguyMerch: redshirtjeff.com2nd Channel: youtube.com/c/GeerlingEngineering#PiDayContents:00:00 - I was wrong.01:13 - Cooling for an overclock03:18 - Flashing the OC firmware05:29 - From 2.4 to 3.0 GHz08:01 - From 3.0 to 3.1 GHz09:50 - From 3.1 to 3.2 GHz10:42 - From 3.2 to 3.3 GHz (fail)13:07 - Back to 3.2 GHz14:16 - World-record Pi 5 single-core (for now)
