Ticketmaster and Adafruit Announce Groundbreaking Merger, TicketFruit, to Revolutionize the Purchase of Raspberry Pi 4s

New York, NY - April 1, 2023 - Today, global ticketing and event technology platform Ticketmaster and electronics manufacturer Adafruit announced their plans to merge, with a new company, named TicketFruit, marking a pivotal moment in the technology and entertainment industries. The merger is set to create unprecedented opportunities for consumers, making it easier than ever to access the popular Raspberry Pi 4 and other innovative products.

This unique partnership between the ticketing giant and the renowned electronics company will offer consumers a seamless experience, integrating cutting-edge technology into the event ticketing process. The merger will also improve the distribution and availability of the Raspberry Pi 4, a popular single-board computer widely used for educational and hobbyist purposes.

"We are excited about this unprecedented merger with Adafruit," said Michael Rapino, CEO of Ticketmaster. "By combining our expertise in event technology with Adafruit's dedication to creating innovative products, we aim to redefine the consumer experience. This partnership will not only make it much easier to get a Raspberry Pi 4, but also offer new and exciting ways to use this versatile device in the entertainment industry."

Limor Fried, CEO of Adafruit, echoed Rapino's enthusiasm, stating, "This collaboration with Ticketmaster opens up endless possibilities to create transformative experiences for our customers. By leveraging Ticketmaster's extensive network, we can now bring the Raspberry Pi 4 to a much wider audience and introduce unique applications for this powerful platform. We are committed to breaking boundaries and exploring new horizons in technology and entertainment."

The merger is expected to be completed within the next few months, after which customers can anticipate a more streamlined process for obtaining the Raspberry Pi 4, as well as other innovative products from Adafruit. The combined company will continue to focus on providing exceptional customer experiences and creating new opportunities for technological advancement in the entertainment and electronics sectors.

Video from "Tariff talk!"

[neat dock]

High tariffs become 'real' with our first $36K bill

We're no stranger to tariff bills, although they have definitely ramped up over the last two months. However, this is our first 'big bill', where a large portion was subjected to a 125%+20%+25% import markup. Unlike other taxes like sales tax where we collect on behalf of the state and then submit it back at the end of the month, or income taxes, where we only pay if we are profitable, tariff taxes are paid before we sell any of the products and are due within a week of receipt which has a big impact on cash flow.

In this particular case, we're buying from a vendor, not a factory, so we can't second-source the items (and these particular products we couldn't manufacture ourselves even if we wanted to, since the vendor has well-deserved IP protections). And the products were booked & manufactured many months ago, before the tariffs were in place. Since they are electronics products/components, there's a chance we may be able to request reclassification on some items to avoid the 125% 'reciprocal' tariff, but there's no assurance that it will succeed, and even if it does, it is many, many months until we could see a refund.

We'll have to increase the prices on some of these products, but we're not sure if people will be willing to pay the higher cost, so we may well be 'stuck' with unsellable inventory that we have already paid a large fee on.

Tiny Machine Learning on the Edge with TensorFlow Lite Running on SAMD51
https://youtu.be/cn9PEDX_qLk

You've heard of machine learning (ML), but what is it? And do you have to buy specialty hardware to experiment? If you have some Adafruit hardware, you can build some Tiny ML projects today!

We've wrappered the TensorFlow Lite micro speech demo to Arduino so you can do basic speech recognition on our SAMD51 boards. In this demo we'll hook up a microphone to our PyGamer to detect "yes" or "no" speech and display some mini videos to play if your voice was detected by TensorFlow Lite, all on a Cortex M4 processor.

and with this... we've added a #machine-learning channel!

THE MONSTER MASK!
https://youtu.be/gyVryzlF_hc

I was hacking in the lab quite late one night
soldering pins and debugging the bytes
When suddenly a bang exploded with sparks
And a figure emerged from the hazy dark

It wore a mask
It wore a monster mask

The monster mask
Its eyes were LCD glass

It wore a mask
It had some chips on the back

The monster mask
And a sweet solder mask

Soon I discovered, I had nothing to fear
This ghoulish rage wasn’t how it appeared
This creature didn’t want to do me in
It just wanted new eyes, so I plugged them right in

It wore a mask
I was coding so fast

The monster mask
I used some pictures of cats

It wore a mask
uploading firmware to flash

The monster mask
And the results were a smash!

Wah-oooohhhh
Those programmable eyes …

Wah-oooohhhh
So easily customized …

Wah-oooohhhh
And once we got it all right …

Wah-oooohhhh
We would party all night

The monster mask!

All the Internet of Things – Episode 6 — Digi-Key IoT Studio #digkey #adafruit #iot

https://youtu.be/_u8yrGhaDX8

Adafruit and Digi-Key have teamed up to present All the Internet of Things - a six-part video series covering everything you could ever want to know about the Internet of Things.

http://www.digikey.com/alltheiot

We are excited to release Episode 6, the final episode of this series, which incorporates all the different subjects we discussed in our previous episodes and shows off an incredible resource: Digi-Key IoT Studio.

Unlike most other IoT platforms, Digi-Key IoT Studio is code-less — all sensor interaction and storage is done automatically by the drag-and-drop IDE. You don't need to install toolchains, code editors or compile any code on your computer! Digi-Key Studio runs in your web browser, handles all aspects of developing an Internet-of-Things project, and even compiles your code remotely.

If you aren't already using it, check out this guide to get started now.

The COVID-19 Detect & Protect Challenge

COVID-19 is an unprecedented global health and humanitarian emergency. It threatens to create devastating social, economic, and political crises that could leave deep scars for years to come. This impact could reverse the progress made in tackling global poverty over the past 20 years, putting at risk the lives and livelihoods of billions of people.


In addition to the many lives at stake, developing countries could lose at least US$220 billion in income. COVID-19 could have an enormous and tragic longer-term impact, with the potential for mass unemployment, the further weakening of already-fragile health systems; and the risk of increasing inequality, marginalization, and poverty. In some of the world’s most vulnerable areas, the impact of COVID-19 could be catastrophic.


This extraordinary global situation demands a global response. As an answer, the United Nations Development Programme and Hackster.io are joining forces with the world’s brightest technology companies. We are calling on hardware and software developers, product designers, scientists, hackers, makers, and innovators to come together to work for those who will be hardest hit by this pandemic.

OSHWA Open Source Hardware Survey –

http://bit.ly/oshwa-community-2021

This only took 10 mins and had some really good questions. This is also a good spot to let OSHWA know if Adafruit’s open-source hardware and software has helped you, your company, or in any way and why/how. From Feather to CircuitPython and the investment in open, we’re looking forward to making and releasing even MORE open hardware and software in 2021!

There are now over 200 boards that support CircuitPython!

ADABOX 019 UNBOXING LIVE TONIGHT! 7/28/21 8pm EDT! https://youtu.be/8FZ3_7q59tQ

We have an Adabox 20 shipping update – it’s good news, sorta! Due to the global supply chain crisis, and global shipping crisis, we were almost going to need to let customers know this Adabox was going to be SUPER-LATE, however, we are starting to ship boxes and that means it will arrive, however – for some folks it will not arrive for Halloween. We did everything possible, months in advance, it’s just how it goes right now.

Our request – if this is the worst things that ever will happen to you, please cancel/pause your subscription. We’re “full” and a lot of people would love to get this box, or others, and it’s a way to make room for them (we’ll be adding more slots later, it’s just super challenging with supply issues).

So! short version, we’re shipping – some might not make it by Friday of next week (10/29/2021).
