"Most of what we make starts the same way: a part we needed ourselves and couldn't find done the way we wanted," explains Jimmy Paputto's Dariusz Domański by way of background to the company, which specializes in robotics powered by the Raspberry Pi and NVIDIA's Jetson computer-on-module family. "The M.2 M-Key HAT is one of those parts. We run test clusters and CI [Continuous Integration] for our GNSS [Global Navigation Satellite System] HAT software, and we wanted fast NVMe [Non-Volatile Memory Express] storage on the [Raspberry] Pi 5 without giving up...

How many cars’ worth of CO2 will US data centres really emit?

A new study out of Cornell has handed the AI industry’s climate critics a fresh statistic to wield, and the internet has duly rounded it up. Planned US data centres, one widely shared headline announced, are set to produce as much carbon dioxide as 24 million cars. The figure
