Here is a collection of all the questions and answers:

Question: [Link](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/z1c9z/i_am_barack_obama_president_of_the_united_states/c60mnkw)
>I am recent law school graduate. Despite graduating from a top school, I find myself unemployed with a large student loan debt burden. While I'm sure my immediate prospects will improve in time, it's difficult to be optimistic about the future knowing that my ability to live a productive life -- to have a fulfilling career, to buy a house, to someday raise a family -- is hampered by my debt and the bleak economic outlook for young people. I know that I'm not alone in feeling this way. Many of us are demoralized. Your 2008 campaign was successful in large part due to the efforts of younger demographics. We worked for you, we campaigned for you, and we turned out in record numbers to vote for you. What can I say to encourage those in similar situations as I am to show up again in November? What hope can you offer us for your second term?

Answer:
>I understand how tough it is out there for recent grads. You're right - your long term prospects are great, but that doesn't help in the short term. Obviously some of the steps we have taken already help young people at the start of their careers. Because of the health care bill, you can stay on your parent's plan until you're twenty six. Because of our student loan bill, we are lowering the debt burdens that young people have to carry. But the key for your future, and all our futures, is an economy that is growing and creating solid middle class jobs - and that's why the choice in this election is so important. The other party has two ideas for growth - more taxs cuts for the wealthy (paid for by raising tax burdens on the middle class and gutting investments like education) and getting rid of regulations we've put in place to control the excesses on wall street and help consumers. These ideas have been tried, they didnt work, and will make the economy worse. I want to keep promoting advanced manufacturing that will bring jobs back to America, promote all-American energy sources (including wind and solar), keep investing in education and make college more affordable, rebuild our infrastructure, invest in science, and reduce our deficit in a balanced way with prudent spending cuts and higher taxes on folks making more than $250,000/year. I don't promise that this will solve all our immediate economic challenges, but my plans will lay the foundation for long term growth for your generation, and for generations to follow. So don't be discouraged - we didn't get into this fix overnight, and we won't get out overnight, but we are making progress and with your help will make more.

>What's the recipe for the White House's beer?

Answer:
>It will be out soon! I can tell from first hand experience, it is tasty.

Question: [Link](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/z1c9z/i_am_barack_obama_president_of_the_united_states/c60mnz9)
>What are you going to do to end the corrupting influence of money in politics during your second term?

Answer:
>Money has always been a factor in politics, but we are seeing something new in the no-holds barred flow of seven and eight figure checks, most undisclosed, into super-PACs; they fundamentally threaten to overwhelm the political process over the long run and drown out the voices of ordinary citizens. We need to start with passing the Disclose Act that is already written and been sponsored in Congress - to at least force disclosure of who is giving to who. We should also pass legislation prohibiting the bundling of campaign contributions from lobbyists. Over the longer term, I think we need to seriously consider mobilizing a constitutional amendment process to overturn Citizens United (assuming the Supreme Court doesn't revisit it). Even if the amendment process falls short, it can shine a spotlight of the super-PAC phenomenon and help apply pressure for change.

Question: [Link](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/z1c9z/i_am_barack_obama_president_of_the_united_states/c60mmg8)
>What was the most difficult decision that you had to make during this term?

Answer:
>The decision to surge our forces in afghanistan. Any time you send our brave men and women into battle, you know that not everyone will come home safely, and that necessarily weighs heavily on you. The decision did help us blunt the taliban's momentum, and is allowing us to transition to afghan lead - so we will have recovered that surge at the end of this month, and will end the war at the end of 2014. But knowing of the heroes that have fallen is something you never forget.

Question: [Link](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/z1c9z/i_am_barack_obama_president_of_the_united_states/c60mm2v)
>What is the first thing you'll do on November 7th, win or lose?

Answer:
>Win or lose, I'll be thanking everybody who is working so hard - especially all the volunteers in field offices all across the country, and the amazing young people in our campaign offices.

Question: [Link](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/z1c9z/i_am_barack_obama_president_of_the_united_states/c60ml11)
>How are you going help small businesses in 2013 and 2014? and what if any bills are you going to implement for small businesses, in 2013, and 2014?

Answer:
>We've really focused on this since I came into office - 18 tax cuts for small business, easier funding from the SBA. Going forward, I want to keep taxes low for the 98 percent of small businesses that have $250,000 or less in income, make it easier for small business to access financing, and expand their opportunities to export. And we will be implementing the Jobs Act bill that I signed that will make it easier for startups to access crowd-funding and reduce their tax burden at the start-up stage.

Question: [Link](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/z1c9z/i_am_barack_obama_president_of_the_united_states/c60mlwx)
>We know how Republicans feel about protecting Internet Freedom. Is Internet Freedom an issue you'd push to add to the Democratic Party's 2012 platform?

Answer:
>Internet freedom is something I know you all care passionately about; I do too. We will fight hard to make sure that the internet remains the open forum for everybody - from those who are expressing an idea to those to want to start a business. And although there will be occasional disagreements on the details of various legislative proposals, I won't stray from that principle - and it will be reflected in the platform.

Question: [Link](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/z1c9z/i_am_barack_obama_president_of_the_united_states/c60mm41)
>Are you considering increasing funds to the space program?

Answer:
>Making sure we stay at the forefront of space exploration is a big priority for my administration. The passing of Neil Armstrong this week is a reminder of the inspiration and wonder that our space program has provided in the past; the curiosity probe on mars is a reminder of what remains to be discovered. The key is to make sure that we invest in cutting edge research that can take us to the next level - so even as we continue work with the international space station, we are focused on a potential mission to a asteroid as a prelude to a manned Mars flight.

Question: [Link](http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/z1c9z/i_am_barack_obama_president_of_the_united_states/c60mmaf)
>How do you balance family life and hobbies with, well, being the POTUS?

Answer:
>It's hard - truthfully the main thing other than work is just making sure that I'm spending enough time with michelle and the girls. The big advantage I have is that I live above the store - so I have no commute! So we make sure that when I'm in DC I never miss dinner with them at 6:30 pm - even if I have to go back down to the Oval for work later in the evening. I do work out every morning as well, and try to get a basketball or golf game in on the weekends just to get out of the bubble. Speaking of balance, though, I need to get going so I'm back in DC in time for dinner.

HE KNOWS

He's the president, he knows everything... Like Jesus.

I am a Canadian.... Just want to say that George Bush took 8 years to wreck your country... You should give Obama 8 to fix it....

>Just want to say that George Bush took 8 years to wreck your country

He didnt take 8 year to wreck it...he was *given* 8 year to wreck it. We handed him that shit on a silver platter.

Holy- I didn't think about it like that until you pointed it out.

… his staffers do, anyway. Did you see the ‘meme’ on Obama’s campaign site: “Is president of the USA” / “does AMA” — oh, wow, they sure got ‘that internet thing’ figured out.

Yes, I had a look and I saw it! Thanks for the tip anyway. :)

It is always nice when *they* (the real-life people who became memes somehow) not only acknowledge but also jokingly contribute to their own meme (like McKayla recently also did, for instance). That shows some sense of humour which apparently some other people lack.

He said he would do an AMA for 30 min. That looks like 30 min of answering questions.

I'm actually surprised he was able to answer *any* questions after breaking Reddit.

He's got access to presidential bandwidth :)

Correct me if I'm wrong but it doesn't matter if you have a 1000 GB/s download speed, if the itself site is down you're gonna be seeing jack shit.

They're not the ones you were looking for.  I know because a nice old guy in a robe told me.

I wish I had access to his presidential bandwidth.

IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

He left before reddit even began to have load problems

Not to mention the site issues. It still took me a while to get to this post hours after it was supposed to have finished.

This too. This thing crippled reddit for about an hour and a half. Honestly, it's amazing that the President managed to get through enough to post what he did.

I'm loving the idea that the president was sitting around frustrated by the 503s like any other redditor. Would have been even funnier if it resulted in a double post...

Am I the only one that read every one of his posts in his voice?

You cant convince me thats not just a raspberry pi with a cheap chinese radar on it bruh 💀

I dont think that'll detect much of anything actually helpful.

For context, that’s 28 more fps than 24h ago. The PS5 emulation scene is really different from everything else we’ve seen so far because it’s still a current-gen console. So sure, a lot of PCs will be better. But the emulation overhead catches up VERY quickly. Unlike NES emulators that can easily run on a Raspberry Pi.

I’m going to get downvoted but YouTube Premium.

YouTube is by far the platform I watch the most so the time I save in not having to watch ads more than makes up for the cost.

Yes, I know what an adblocker is, I use Firefox with Ublock Origin. But that doesn’t do anything for my TV, or my phone, or if I go to someone’s house and watch YouTube over there, or if I’m traveling and want to watch YouTube. It also supports any content creators I watch, not as much as a full membership but still something.

YouTube music is also included and I listen to that in my car.

Edit : “Hey bro try this!” “dude just do this!” “Hey man you can just go into your router settings and block these ips” “Hey bro just get a raspberry pi”

No. I’m not doing that.

I use those for my raspberry pi in a small cabinet. Any longer would mean an useless mess in there, plus unnecessary voltage drop, albeit minimal.

So as I have some free time now I was thinking of getting into home automation or something like that, so I thought of purchasing a Raspberry Pi. I expected the 4GB variant to cost at most 4k but I was astonished to see such ridiculously high prices. As a student, 11k is quite a lot to spend on a potential hobby.

I’ll add a picture if it’ll let me but my son is turning 13  in like two weeks, he’s got an Xbox and some other consoles and stuff. He asked me about Raspberry Pi and I made like several dumb jokes about baking and then came here. 

What is that? Is that essentially like a little laptop type deal? A little turbo plug in for something so he can run doom? Is this something a 13 year old has any business owning?

Please help! My kid (13) is asking me for stuff I have no idea about. What is Raspberry Pi?

Ever since I moved to an unjailbroken iphone from Android (and jailbroken iphone) i missed a couple of things. especially lack of full libusb. Couldn't connect a software defined radio to my phone, couldn't flash any phone with my phone, lost a very useful, versatile feature.

When my bag broke, i decided to also customize it a little bit on top of fixing. I thought it'd be cool to have something like a PCB hanging round, since it looks cool. But i remembered about my huge hassle with the iphone, lack of full USB, so i decided to fix both of those wants. I printed out a cover to the side with components, as to not destroy any, added it on a keychain, and left it on there. i also built an usbc-microusb adapter, so that i can USB connect it to my phone/battery bank.

It defaults to be a USB guest, emulating Ethernet, and when i manually set up addressing, with leaving router empty, i can connect to my pi while keeping 5g.
Currently it's just a PoC, as so I wanted to see how reliably it works, so currently i got only ssh and vnc set up with Raspbian, but it works really reliably, boots up after around a minute from plugging in, and lets my iphone SSH/VNC into it.

I already have plans on setting up these things:

⁠- USB DVD drive emulator to be able to boot ISOs on devices that don't do booting from USB drives
- A crappy slow little NAS to transfer things with my classmates
- A stupid little device for BLE/Wifi pranks 
- simple way to jailbreak/flash iOS devices
- portable thing for fastboot+heimdall 
- always on hand SPI flasher

Made this raspberry pi zero 2w keychain. looks cool and is useful!

Cameras

I started this project a couple of months ago from the CinePi GitHub and was intrigued on how they work so I decided to give it a try building one.

It starts with a basic 4GB Raspberry Pi 5 which runs a custom version of PiOS created by Apertar Studio (they also supply their own camera body STL’s and parts guides!) and it runs perfectly on the 720x720 4 inch Waveshare or Hyperpixel square displays.

The Apertar OS shows a live preview of the camera, includes photo and video modes, focus peaking, media library and much more... it also has a super clean GUI that’s easy to navigate and has an IOS feel and look to it.

My camera is based on the Blackmagic Micro cinema camera body which I have adapted to fit a Raspberry Pi 5 and button controls for ISO, White Balance, FPS and power on/off. When the main 4 inch display is detached you can see current settings from the OLED screen at the top of the camera which also shows a recording indicator and remaining storage.

The main camera body is 3D printed from PLA-CF to resemble the textured finish of cameras but also to add a lot of strength and rigidity to the body and only took around 3 hours to print the front and rear parts.

It is powered from a 10,000mAh battery pack which lasts for 4-5 hours and can be detached from the camera, there is also a single 1/4” - 20 mount on the top and 3 more at the bottom for tripods or other accessories.

The camera module is the Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera (IMX477) with a Canon EF mount adapter which is partially integrated into the camera body for a cleaner look. Some additional features include a full sized HDMI output and 5V USB-C out for powering a display or other accessories.

Admittedly the quality does not rival a regular camera in any way, it is very much a DIY project and could not be used for professional photography however it can take some great “vintage” looking shots also depending on whatever lens is used.

If you have read this far then thank you! If you want something to build as a challenge or are just simply looking for your next project then this is great to do, the CinePi and Apertar Studio community is fantastic and helped me with a lot of information that I needed to get this working.

My Raspberry Pi Camera

I just finished building a compact 4-node Raspberry Pi cluster in a custom CNC-machined acrylic and aluminium enclosure.

The cluster has two Raspberry Pi 5s, two Raspberry Pi 4s, a dedicated network switch, a touchscreen monitoring display and a single power system. Each node is mounted on a removable sled so individual Pis can be upgraded or serviced without dismantling the enclosure.

The display runs a custom dashboard showing live system stats and the tinted acrylic panels keep the hardware visible while helping the build look a bit more polished than a usual stack of boards and cables.

I’m currently deciding what to run on it long term. Kubernetes is the obvious choice, but I’m interested to hear what others would use a small Pi cluster like this for.

I Built a Compact 4-Node Raspberry Pi Cluster with Integrated Display and Networking

Hi, I'd like to share a project I've been working on for a while. This project was popular with the community over at r/eink and I thought you guys might like it too. Built with a Raspberry Pi 5, an Inky Impression 13.3" e-ink display and a USB microphone. It uses BirdNET-Go to identify birds outside, and the frame will draw whichever ones it has heard recently. 

I use an USB lavalier mic with a long thin cable, taped under the roof outside and run in through the window. Thin enough that the window still closes on it. Everything (including the detection model) runs locally on the Pi and works fully offline.

What sets it apart from other similar bird projects is the art and the foundation. Every bird is a hand-curated cut-out from an 1800s natural-history scan, no AI-generated images. [BirdNET-Go](https://github.com/tphakala/birdnet-go) builds a strong foundation that this sits on top of, including location-based detections, language support, listening to multiple audio-sources, IOT integrations and much much more.

BirdNET works worldwide, but the art is mostly European birds (for now). North American ones are in the pipeline. Right now I'm sitting at 37 different species on \~2600 detections.
