It was nice knowing Raspberry Pi while they lasted. Going to suck losing something that has changed the homegrown embedded system hobby forever.

Sooner or later capitalism ruins everything.

[–] NotAnotherLemmyUser@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Then it's a good thing that no countries have pure capitalism for their economy.

We need regulation on corporations to keep them in check.

[–] Subdivide6857@midwest.social 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I can’t wait till those regulations get enforced.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

You're right. You CAN'T wait for it.

Because waiting for it would imply it would eventually happen.

N100 mini PCs are where it's at these days anyways. Unless you need the GPIO pins or are running some weird niche configuration, you're better off grabbing any N100, they're cheaper too.

After some light searching, am I missing something? I don't see n100 cheaper than rpi 5

[–] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

You're forgetting to include the Pi heatsink, the Pi power supply and the Pi enclosure.

I picked up a radxa zero last year and have been quite enjoying it. the hardware is better than a pi zero but costs less. same with a lot of other SBCs

but raspberry pi has a lot of inertia behind it, a lot of software and hardware support. people will keep using them, just like they keep using Ubuntu, even though it's a soulless corporate husk of what it one was

And so begins "Line must go up" and the inevitable enshittification .

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That began in 2020 for them.

It's how you get to the IPO .. so yeah

AI nonsense privacy disrespecting "feature" coming next week

[–] Lettuceeatlettuce@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Let the enshitification begin!

[–] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The Pi5 is already a shitshow with crazy power usage requiring a special power supply instead of a normal USB C phone charger.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I'd take a 3b-ish PI for say 30€ any day (IDK if that's realistic pricing). If I need beefy hardware I just use a PC?

The Pi4 had a good price on release. Then Covid hit.

With the Pi5 the Pi foundation is just milking it. Overpriced chip on an inefficient outdated 28nm process node.
