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 Overpriced chip on an inefficient outdated 28nm process node.

      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.
