This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I liked SBCs when they were more like $35, but the price is now out of control for what they offer. I will probably just get used mini PCs instead if I ever need something similar. I'll be able to replace RAM, SSD, and potentially even the CPU. I'll get a case and PSU with the base price.
What does the Pi even offer over the low wattage mini PCs now? I don't need a whole Linux to run a few GPIOs, I could buy ESP32 things for a few dollars each. The only benefit is the small size and being able to run off the ubiquitous USB wall plugs.
