I may do that on my Pi400. I did an update upgrade didn't think to do full-upgrade. Thanks for the reminder.

mine is saying 988 low

Barometer is a low 983mb and dropping rapidly. It will soon be in the Very Low Red Storm Zone on my Weather Clock. It's raining heavily and blowing a gale outside. I brought in all my Bird feeders and anything else that I don't want rocked and rolled around by the wind.

Interesting .i will stick with the regular Pi.

I like it as a desktop replacement. Nice and compact no great big box on the floor etc. Browsing is OK, I haven't tried to watch a video on yet but have been looking up install instructions for my other Pi builds on it etc.
Not all that fussy for how the GPIO is situated but there aren't a lot of options. A fair number of keyboard issues posted on the Pi Forums. I'm happy I bought one, not so sure I'd buy a second one though?
The one main complaint that I saw was no audio jack for speakers. No camera or DSI port either which doesn't seem to be an issue for most. Just use a USB camera and put it on top of your monitor etc.
One thing I find weird is they used the scroll lock LED etc for the Power function. It doesn't have the dedicated number pad so I would have thought using the numlock a better choice?

i have 2 usb sound devices ,not sure where or when I bought them ,ill have to try them ,one us a soundblaster bought it years ago ,, other one might have got on Aidafruit
