Alot of us who have a Raspberry Pi 3 or 4 might upgrade to the Raspberry Pi 5.

Doing so would leave us with 2 Pi's. What are some great use cases for the older Pi, that would no longer be the main machine?

I hear rpi5 doesn't come with hardware decoding, so that is something rpi4 is better at.

Good call if true

Actually need to know this. I haven't heard about it myself, but maybe I missed it?

Apparently it only has 4k60 HEVC decode and no encoders
