Re: "There are at least four Raspberry Pis in the house here...…"
Hey, I like the little Pis and own three. However I still have to find a good purpose for them. Too expensive and hard to maintain where microcontrollers would do and too expensive and slow for general purpose use. Maybe I will finally use it for my remote security cam system, aggregating data from a few esp32 cams.

just wanted to follow up, thanks to the AI bubble everythings gone up. pi 500+ is now £393.60 (twice the amount it was originally)
It's nuts. I just bought a Thinkpad with a p7, a terabyte M2 drive and 24GB RAM for under $200 US.
Why would anyone buy a raspberry pi?
💯 agree. I still like their picos and zeros. I do fear those are gonna go up in price too whilst this bubble goes on.

I just made a bird feeder camera from a zero. Perfect board for something like that. But I can foresee the end of hobby SBCs.

There are at least four Raspberry Pis in the house here... I've been a fan since the first generation. I hope they don't lose sight of their core values, though, with the recent IPO. I recall also hearing about some PR/community blunders recently, but such things can always occur as the business grows.
