I've been using an RPI4B with 4GB as my main term for several months. It pxe boots (no SD card) and I leave the session on, but run screenlock to guard against cat walk (pun?). It has rebooted once, but I'm pretty sure it was due to power fluctuations (didn't see it happen). I built the kernel on

well they have FCC compliance, so i'd hope it's just internal interference due to lack of rf separation on the board. unless the fcc test is so busted that they were able to activate a less-problematic pixel clock and never tried the full possible range? :D since i don't have a github account i

There were reports of 2560x1440 res generating RF noise in the 2.4GHz band wifi channel 1. The proposed solution (by Eben Upton) was to use channel 4 or higher or use 5GHz wifi band at this res. And supposedly there is a firmware fix for this. No idea about the bluetooth issue. You should

well, for me hdmi reliably stops working when i turn on the bluetooth keyboard and versa. clearly RF interference was none of their concern when they made this chip. if your monitor suggests a different pixel clock you might get lucky and it's just good enough, but your signal quality is gonna

from the hardware point of view... i never had a single problem with pi4 power rails or it's RAM. if we're lucky this might be just your pi. while rare, memory does fail sometimes... What doesn't work here is the usb-c power supply, so i have used a crappier mobile phone charger with a passive
