Given the ongoing stock availability issues for the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, I was wondering if anyone has had satisfactory success using a Raspberry Pi Zero for running OpenCPN instead, or is it (as I suspect) definitely preferable to wait patiently for a 4B?

    Hi. Does anyone know of a fridge (not freezer or combined) that come with a guarantee to work in ambient temperatures of sub 10ºC? This is for a household situation (so 230V), but must surely be an issue on boats too? Beko do a range of freezers with what they call Freezer Guard technology...
