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.
We're lucky that the SBC space has gotten really solid over the last couple years. ARM-based, X86-based, and even some RISC-V systems.
The PI isn't the only only game in town now, and actually gets beat in several different applications depending on use case.
As shareholder value and line-must-go-up takes over the company culture, progress and innovation will happen more and more in the hands of companies and orgs that actually care about their product's quality and features.
Still disappointing though, the Pi was my first introduction to IoT and low power computing.
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 Overpriced chip on an inefficient outdated 28nm process node.
