It would also hurt their best customers while helping the people who only buy games on sale, which isn’t great for their bottom line.

Kind of like how if you take a bunch of traditional radar systems, sync their LOs, and add some DSP, you get a phased array. Pretty good analogy, actually.

That’s fair, but where do you draw the line?

Depends on your definition of homelessness. Living in a shitty, broken down van probably counts. But what about living in a $200k Mercedes Sprinter van converted to a camper, with a stable job that lets you work remote? What about a retired couple living in a 40’ RV, after spending their working lives dreaming about traveling around the country?

Wow, that looks really good! I like the labels on each server! Are the 3d printed parts custom or did you find them online?

This is a workstation cpu, if you need a fast PC to do your job you don’t have much choice but pay the AI premium.

The article says it’s for workstations and points out that the dual cache is a potential downside for gaming.

I didn’t watch the video, and I only found out about the blog post through Lemmy.

IMO the blog and video seem a little click-baity. Yes, he technically does acknowledge (in the video, not the blog) that older Pi models are still being produced, but saying the SBC market is dying is crazy. How many projects really need the specs of a Pi 5 in that form factor? If you need that performance, you probably have space for something a little bigger.

Here’s the author’s own tl;dr:

But if you’d like the tl;dr:

Unless the DRAM pricing situation changes radically, I think the hobbyist SBC market is dying—or at least on life support. And I don’t just mean Raspberry Pis, but all SBC vendors. LPDDR chips now account for the majority of board cost from the vendors I’ve checked with.

Raspberry Pi would have been fine if they stopped at the Pi 3. I’m not saying they shouldn’t have made the 4, or even 5… but the Pi 3 and Zero 2 are (IMO) their best products in terms of price-to-value. The SBC market is fine.

“Buried in the video” isn’t the same as “talked about in the blog.”

Which blog? If you mean the OP, could you quote the section you’re talking about? I don’t see any mention of Pi models besides the 4 and 5.

Look-alikes and doppelgangers have been around for longer than AI has, and so have conspiracy theories about famous people being replaced by body doubles. They could replace a famous person with AI, but a body double would probably be more convincing since they could still make public appearances.

The thing that these complaints about RPi pricing always seems to miss is that most Pi models are still manufactured and supported. Most projects don’t need a Pi 5 with 16GB of RAM, even a Pi Zero 2 (under $20) is overkill for a lot of projects.

Seems like a joke.

(in Portuguese) what kind of cake do you want for your birthday?

IDGAF just don’t write “24” on it

ok… Happy birthday, enjoy your 23+1 anuses, you [insert homophobic slur here]

An untrained 10lbs chihuahua is less dangerous than an untrained 120lbs Rottweiler. Some domestic dog breeds are bigger than any wolf, like the mastiff.

When you asked if they could do those things “correctly,” I didn’t think you meant for an entire season as a laborer. I thought you were asking if they could perform the task once without mistakes.

Clearly.

What’s next, my drug dealer will start checking IDs? /s

Being able to do something, and being willing to do it for other people for minimum wage are two very different things.

They’re going to put age verification on pirating too!?

“completely degrading” - sounds like an oxymoron… “degraded” means it’s partially functioning, not completely working but not completely broken either.
