New Raspberry Pi - RISC OS - Upgrading to RISC OS 5.28

see this from my 8GB RPi4

Hmm, so instead of having nine hundred megabytes free, I’ll have seven thousand nine hundred… :-)

You lost me at “custard” – that’s just all wrong!

I quite like Birds (which I’m quite aware isn’t technically custard, more a yellow gloop). It goes well with chips.

I won’t say other peoples’ rates, and mine do vary depending on the nature of the job, but it is generally not expensive – think “meal out for two”, and often less.

I do hope you’re not talking “meal-deal for two down at the local pub” rates of pay. :)
I’d hate to think of you being forced to move to a cardboard box “home”

I do accept Custard Doughnuts donations

There’s a sign on the wall at work:
“It is NOT a network problem”
“If I have to spend time proving that you will owe me a bag of doughnuts”

Gabor put on a fair bit of weight in the 6 months after putting that up. These days the “doughnut fine” applies to any misattributed alleged problem, voluntary payments are made by anyone making a mistake.

“It is NOT a network problem”

Wait, what? B..b..but it’s always DNS. The Register told me so.

It goes with fish fingers, surely?

I might be Scottish, but I’m not the Doctor.

Damn, looks like I have missed all the fun here :)

I’ll just stir the “rage” for tomorrow’s morning lol Custard Doughnuts are the best ever!!!! (and runs away)

Now that’s the way to do it! I need to step up my game too at work :)

Wait, what? B..b..but it’s always DNS. The Register told me so.

Actually, last week it was DNS (after a fashion)
Segments of the network behind our “Medical Firewall” instances weren’t working.
After a bit of remote poking yours truly noted inability to resolve names.
Firewall said it was passing traffic (lots of accepts)
DNS saw the packets arrive and the replies go out, plus DNS was fine outside¹ the firewall
On a guess² I looked for out of state fails on the firewall for DNS replies – tada!!

¹ Medical equipment comes from suppliers that are precious about having anti-virus on their (still) Windows 7 based kit.

Now that’s the way to do it! I need to step up my game too at work :)

Birthdays count as mistakes :)

Ones that have lots of Birthday’s – live longest. :-)

Not if you exceed doughnut limits :(

Mind you, for my 60th I went in to work with a good collection of doughnuts and goodies.
I came home with a number of items including a bottle of single malt

Doughnut limit? What is this heresy?

Here in France it’s expected to take sweets/chocolates to work on your birthday.

I think after a decade they’ve finally got the hang of my celebrating six months late. ;-)

What is normal for birthdays in Britain? I didn’t really have birthday parties as a child, it was just mom and me doing something special… like surprising me by going to a tea room I liked…. in Cornwall, 250 miles away!

Rick for president!!!!!! :D

Doughnut limit? What is this heresy?

It’s the number at which you can maintain a healthy body while repeating the dose.
Apparently some people have a low doughnut limit

Thank you.

This is not RISC OS, but is it possible to run Windows 10 on a Pi 4 4GB or Pi4 8GB?

Andrew R,

Still not sure how to make a post with quotes, but will take a look at CJE, and look at your prices and what my options are. At the moment I’m thinking Pi6 4GB or a Pi 400, I would like to see what Pi if any is able to run Windows 10, I have everything else, wireless keyboard and mouse, cable leads etc, but would like to get and once setup, is get RISC OS connected to the internet.

But will order today for sure.

There is a separate forum for testing things like this, but to answer your question, I think you just pressed g instead of q. bq. – “block quote”

bg. See below, the bottom of the page bq. enables quotes. Click here for more information. bg.

The bg. probably does not help.

Once I have placed an order for a Pi 4 or Pi 400, what type and what size micro SD card would you recommend to used?

Andrew,

I’m still not sure how to make a post with quotes, do I need to click on a link below near Formatting Help. If so what do I actually need to type. Or do I need to click on a link below near Formatting Help, what I move my mouse in this area below, nothing happens.

I’m a macOS user.

Not q.[space] or bg.[space], but bq.[space]text to quote

Not q.[space] or bg.[space], but bq.[space]text to quote

SO, to quote the above I typed in:

bq. Not q.[space] or bg.[space], but bq.[space]text to quote

The space after the first bq. is very important! The second one is part of the quoted text and only coincidentally seems to be at the start of a line here due to formatting of the text!

There are loads of other “tags” you can use, which was what all that “see the links below” was about! Click on the blue “here” after Textile reference under this or any subsequent last posting.

Thank you.

bq.

Where can I find the full list of tags to use.

John,

Looks like I can now quote, what do you need to type to end a quote. Type normal text, then below start another quote. As you can see my post above, not all the text is in quotes, have I made an error here.

It’s the newline that turns it off. So you can do the bq.[space] again to quote further lines.

There is a way to quote paragraphs with line breaks, but get used to this one first!

To do the bit in different type I enclosed the text in
<code> and a corresponding finishing tag like in HTML, but you need newlines as well after the start tag and before the finish tag.

If you want to practise, you can always use just one posting, deleting the contents for each retry. It’ll annoy the hell out of everyone else, but…

I’ve had multiple gos at trying to get this right and failing!
