Crowdfunded Pilet handheld PC redesigned to use Raspberry Pi CM5 for brains… even though backers expected it to work with a Raspberry Pi 5 CM5 More than a year after launching a crowdfunding campaign for a pair of Raspberry Pi-powered handheld computers, the folks at Soulsircuit have announced a major change... and backers aren't particularly pleased.

I also feel silly because I didn't read the section that says it doesn't come with the raspberry […]
