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.
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.
And so begins “Line must go up” and the inevitable enshittification .
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
Let the enshitification begin!
The Pi5 is already a shitshow with crazy power usage requiring a special power supply instead of a normal USB C phone charger.
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?
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
