First #RaspberryPi earned a shitstorm by hiring a cop formerly specialized in hidden surveillance.
Now they accept an investment by Sony for their proprietary AI engine to be included in the next Pi. Which "only sends metadata to the cloud".
Here's a fine list of alternatives to that now-garbage company:

these arrived today! thought the fediverse would appreciate them.
the design is from my wonderful girlfriend @mimi 
In the box there was also a "ww interface". Must be a previous version of the #www 😅
But where should I plug it in?
Set up a hardware donation in the #makerspace
What a beauty 😃
The 1541 seems to work, but the bread box does nothing.
Found the answer:
To connect to a #wifi that is hidden (suppressed SSID broadcast), on #raspi you need to configure wpa_supplicant manually by adding
scan_ssid = 1
Thanks to this blog post: https://www.linuxadictos.com/en/how-to-connect-to-a-hidden-wi-fi-network-from-our-raspberry-pi.html
Not so easy to find and not so easy to explain imho. :)
Security by obscurity. We learned about that during study. Burnt into the brain. Don't hide shit, someone will find it on the internet. Then came public key cryptography. 😍
Hmm, can not upload webp images to #mastodon
Is it me or myself?
-Best- most funny response:
Search harder. It's a well known problem.
Someone said hiding the SSID is the equivalent of wrapping a safe in tissue paper.
raspi-config connect to hidden ssid does not work
