=> ↺ It’s #MagPiMonday, show us your makes
Every Monday we ask the question: have you made something with a Raspberry Pi over the weekend? Every Monday, our followers send us amazing photos and videos of the things they’ve made.
Here’s a selection of some of the awesome things we got sent this month – and remember to follow along at the hashtag #MagPiMonday!
=> ↺ Samsung A54 phone review - Solid all-rounder with big flaws
Do sit down, because today, you get a pretty long, detailed, thorough review of the Samsung A54 mid-range smartphone, covering reasons for purchase, specifications, first-time setup and data migration from an existing Android device, privacy-focused configuration and tweaking, problems with default apps, permissions and requirement for Samsung account, security updates, everyday usage and performance, problems using Play Store - ads and difficulty finding right software, ergonomics - weight, feel, audio quality, and screen scratching, camera quality, charging speed, battery life, some other considerations and observations, and more. Have fun.
=> ↺ Penguicon Auction, or: How To Make Me Shut Up
I’ve been a fan of Penguicon since they invited me as a GoH back in 2013. Some of the con staff even troll me. Like many cons, Penguicon is struggling to reboot post-lockdown. They will make enough on registration to cover expenses, but that money arrives late and they need some cash up front. >
=> ↺ My experience starting as a technical writer
I am a technical writer, and have been for around four years. I work at Roboflow, where I help people learn about computer vision and document various open source software projects we maintain (supervision, Autodistill, Inference, and more).
In this post, I am going to reflect on some of my experience as a technical writer, in the hopes that I can impart some information that is useful to you. This is not a "how to become a technical writer" post, or anything of that nature; there are plenty of other places you can go for that. Instead, I want to speak about technical writing from my viewpoint; from what I have seen, heard, and worked on. I will talk exclusively about software technical writing since that is what I know.
