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

    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?

        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 Overpriced chip on an inefficient outdated 28nm process node.
