And the memory should be a onboard module on the cpu card intel/amd should replicate what apple did with a unified same ringbus sort of memory modules. Lower latency,higher throughput.

Would push performance further. Although companies like intel would bleed the consumer dry with, a certain i5-whatever cpu with onboard memory of 16 gigs could be insanely priced compared to what you'd pay for addon memory.


That would pretty much make both intel and amd to start market segmentation by CPU Core + Memory combination. I absolutely do not want that.


An arduino board with a esp32 added to it can do a lot of things(minus some cam/image recognition stuff) for half the price.

Rpi is strictly suited to very specific use cases.


I've deployed my fair share of both and SBCs are still a very widely useful middle ground. Being able to use existing Linux tools instead of limited or nonexistent embedded libraries is a huge benefit. Most things to do with sound or video, for example, are totally infeasible with microcontrollers. A mini PC is noticably bigger and you need to add a microcontroller over USB if you need absolutely any real world interaction (even something as simple as sensing ambient light to adjust brightness).

My new favourite tool for these situations is the Radxa X4, which is the exact dimensions of a RPi, but with an Intel x86 CPU and an onboard microcontroller to drive GPIOs.


Yeah rpi does have some real world usage but for many small projects that hobbyists do rpi can be a overkill.

Will checkout the radxa x4 sounds interesting.


A lot of linux native software example redshift still does not work on the rpi. Lot of things are broken. Recently i tried to use it as a basic desktop replacement until my new laptop arrives. Does a terrible f job.

A 10 year old celeron n2930 based mini pc i purchased for 30$ at a scrapper performs way better than the pi4. Ran esxi and bunch of vms on top of it aswell. Sips 10 w of power.


I tend to prefer small x86 boxes myself but the discussion here was supposed regressions on the Pi 5's ability to run anything but the official OS, not general dislikes. Similarly, I think the Redshift thing is actually an X11/Wayland debate.


Yeah the redshift thing is related to wayland but shifting to x11 on a pi means you are missing out on certain latest inbuilt software additions to raspian os(on screen keyboards etc dont work well or almost always at all with x11)

And all other os's run terribly on the pi. I tried running ubuntu via a usb nvme drive and it was laggy.

Too underpowered for the price it sells for. I tried streaming some live data on 2 tabs and the pi4(4 gig version) started stuttering.


I used my RP5 as my main machine for the better part of a month. It worked surprisingly well, even with just an SD card.


Good riddance that shitty app needs to be banned on a national scale.


There are just so many planes in the sky that we need better methods to avoid such incidences


McDonald's needs to run classes for developers so that we'd get proper documentation. :P


So basically ads-b for drones.


Would you mind telling How myou learnt fo code being homeless,i have heard a ton of stories like this and was always intrigued how people even learned to code on their phones.

Good luck with your job hunt!


I am surprised how there isn't a fixed Industry standard for bra sizing. Maybe bra sizing can learn something from Pcie,usb,sata standards.

Someone i was with for a long time used to always complain how all manufacturers are different and that even using stuff like a bra that fits(reddit thing) did not work in Asia as manufacturers here have different sizing. She still hasn't found her perfect fit size.


There definitely are standard sizes, but there is enough variation between manufacturers and between wearers that comfort can't be achieved at the level all can agree on. My wife has difficulty in finding the right bra and I have difficulty in getting the right shoe ( which you also would expect to be standardised)


A good insight on how daming and sand dredging is destroying the Mekong is in the latest Grand Tour episode. The extent of the damage that humans have caused to other humans surviving on the river is unfathomable.
