Very proud of this one - just fitting it all onto a 6 layer PCB while keeping it looking pretty was a huge challenge. Not to mention all of the other challenges getting a product like this to launch! Well done to everyone involved, this is a huge step for Raspberry Pi.

In the final episode of the season, @Lucy_Worsley looks at women who were mad, bad And dangerous to know.
Lucy is joined by @rosalindcrone and @helenlewis as they look at what makes women 'difficult' in these final cases.

Fascinating thread!
I went to one of the world's biggest glass factories & it was REALLY cool.
Here's what I saw👇
The factory is the @Encirc plant in Cheshire.
It's enormous. Acres & acres.
If you poured anything from a glass bottle in the UK this Xmas there's a good chance it came from here...

Batteries are often described as resource-intensive. With a 95% proven recycling rate and a 10yr life, over 50% of battery minerals mined today will still be in use in *130 years*. Add 5% performance improvement per cycle, and they will be delivering services *forever*. Boom! 1/2

Less known facts about Raspberry Pi SBCs:
1. Raspberry uses OSP plating for finishing the PCBs
2. For inserting THT parts in the PCB: in the past, they use manual placing (for a long time by workers) and automated assembly line based on the co-robots (e.g. for Model 4B)
