I think the gp’s point is that to a lot of entities (employees, suppliers) there is little difference between for profit and non profit. And if your nonprofit is passing profit along to a for profit ... you can see how the lines blur. Maybe a way to interpret the above comment is that the incentive structure for many people involved is not significantly impacted by the nonprofit status. And non profits can have money…
Hence they aren't dealing with investors, which was his original question.

> the Odroid HC2 could also - still - be considered Even don't think about it - shitty support from vendor. They don't care about updates in general.
Are you sure? I've worked with a myriad of ARM devices, and I would say that despite their small size, Hardkernel are one of the most responsive companies when I have had issues. I say that as both a Gentoo and Kali ARM dev

#346Depending on the purpose, for example if somebody just wants a compact home cloud, the Odroid HC2 could also - still - be considered: https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-hc2-home-cloud-two/ - Half the RAM but double the cores. I'm waiting for some benchmarks to see if the RPi4 is faster and by how much. - Also Gigabit Ethernet and it works great. My downloads are always at 108-111MB/s for the whole transfer. - Not…
The OrangePi 3 at $40 is also pretty neat, PCIe 1x, 8GB onboard eMMC, 4x USB 3.0, Bluetooth 5, Wireless AC (pretty sure they beat Raspberry Pi to the punch on this...) and it has mainline kernel support: http://www.orangepi.org/Orange%20Pi%203/
Re: Raspberry Pi 4
#347I really wish there’s an official 64-bit build of Raspbian to go with it.
Hm. It seems you are right. The linked article says
> New Raspbian software
> To support Raspberry Pi 4, we are shipping a radically overhauled operating system, based on the forthcoming Debian 10 Buster release.
which is ambiguous, but https://medium.com/pi-top/raspberrypi4-f38f12633345 says
> One slightly unusual point to mention is that despite the 64-bit processor, the kernel that supports the entire operating system is currently only 32-bit, for now. Raspberry Pi have assured us that this will be updated in future once things have settled down after the launch.

Why don't you just use USB3 storage?
That's fine for your desk, but hardly a good solution when deploying Raspberry Pis in the wild.

#349This is the death knell for x86 PCs for the consumer market. No regular user needs more than this. Developers and hardcore gamers will be the only ones left on x86. Intel will be a shadow of themselves soon. They have did such a bad job at diversifying.
So it's far away from being a death knell for the consumer market.
Re: Raspberry Pi 4
#350Can't wait to buy this, boot it up, play with it for four hours, then stick it in the same desk drawer with the other Pis I have bought over the years. (The upgrades look great, just my attention span is not so great)
My wife refers to this as the raspberry pile.
